Hence, it can be said that Mamunigal preached <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dvaya Mantra<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to Erumbiappa at the highest order of purity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If one does not preach as stated above but preaches with the intention of 1.Benefits of money, service etc. of mundane matter, 2. Liberating disciple to attain \u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">moksha<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, \u00a03. His service to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bhagavan <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by regulating a disciple, and 4. To avoid his seclusion by keeping the company of disciple, then the purity of such <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upadesa<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is lessened. \u00a0It is natural a \u00a0question may arise, that is it not for Acharya who lives in this world to need money and service, sending disciple to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">moksha<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, \u00a0perform service to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bhagavan<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in lifetime, and good relationship with disciple by Acharya? \u00a0All these are good only and not bad. By considering these as benefits of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dvaya Mantra Upadesa<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, how will they diminish its purity? To answer this \u2013 In the matter of Acharya, a disciple who thinks that whatever little he contributes by serving his Acharya, matches the first benefit above. Secondly with this thinking of \u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bhagavan<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who anticipates for a person, directs him to an Acharya to get <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dvaya Upadesa<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and then enable him to come to Him by attaining \u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">moksha<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Third, with the thinking of Acharya, he trains the disciple to become a good disciple by doing <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upadesa<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for performing <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mangalasasanam<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bhagavan<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which is agreeable to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bhagvan<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. With this Acharya will get the opportunity of service to Lord. \u00a0Fourth, \u00a0a disciple, who for a long time behaved with <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ahankara <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> mamakara, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">which ruined his originality and later he, who thinks always with gratitude for having moulded by an Acharya in doing <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mangalasasanam<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bhagavan<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, that disciple would like to have an inseparable relationship with an Acharya. Hence, Acharya does not consider the benefit for moulding \u00a0a disciple in the matter of performing <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mangalasasanam<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bhagavan<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> thereby attaching purity to his tutelage. In this way, Mamunigal did <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dvaya Mantra Upadesa <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to Erumbiappa. It is to be noted that he did this <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">upadesa <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by resting his thoughts at the feet of Emberumanar, as Emberumanar is superior in our <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Acharya Ghosti<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It is ordained that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dvaya Mantra<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is to be meditated after meditating <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guruparamapara<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This was earlier explained in the Sloka 16 line \u2018<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yathindra Charanathdvanthva pravanenayva chethasa<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019 Hence, this serves as a reminder to think of Acharyas before and after <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emberumanar <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">when one meditates on<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Dvaya Mantra<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u00a0Among the five parts which are to be practiced by <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sri Vaishnavas<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Mamunigal practiced <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upadanam<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, to collect the things for submitting to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bhagavan<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, by accepting Erumbiappa as a disciple and moulded him as a servant to collect things for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bhagavan<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
