SARANAGATI What is more, it is chanted and thereby peace
of mind and hope of the future are attained. So Saranagati-gadya graphically describes
the practice of Saranagati. Before a person resorts to this means he must
find out if he is qualified to do it. The two important qualifications
are : (1) inability to take to all other upayas; and (2) an aversion to
all other fruits than Moksa. The first is known as akincanya and the second
ananya-gatitva. A person is not able to resort to other upayas for three
reasons. Firstly he has not the requisite knowledge to understand them;
secondly he lacks the strength of mind and body to practise them; and
thirdly he is not able to put up with the unavoidable delay in the attainment
of the Moksa – the delay which always goes with those upayas. Such a person
is called an akinchana (destitute). He has a natural aversion to all fruits
other than Moksa. Moksa is a fruit that Sriman Narayana alone can give.
So it follows that this person does not resort to any other god for the
realization of his desires. He is called ananyagati (helpless).
