Shloka -7 (Resuming posts)

When doing "Purushakaram" (qualities needed are) Kripai (Compassion/Grace), Paratantriyam (Being dependent on the Lord), and Ananyaarhatvam (Dependence only on the Lord).

Why are these three qualities important?

Compassion is "inability to bear the sufferings of others".  When recommending the Jeevatma to the Lord for Moksha (doing Purushakaaram), it is out of the inability to see the suffering of the Jeevatma in the Samsara.

Paratantrayam is "being outside Him, but being dependent on Him".  All Jeevatmas are Paratantrans to the Lord.  The Lord created this Universe by transforming His own body merely by Sankalpam that "I wish to transform into the Universe".  He is therefore the owner of all that is visible and invisible (material and non-material, chit and achit).  When doing recommendation, the Lord may not be willing to listen.  It is She, the Lord's consort, being dependent on Him, makes Him listen to Her recommendation.

Ananyarhatvam is being dependent only on Him - not having anybody else to go to with the recommendation. When She goes the Lord with the recommendation that He should acknowledge this particular Jeevatma, the Lord think - She does not have any other place to go to with this request - therefore she is only doing this for Me".
