Sri Abirama Bhattar of Thirukkadayur in Tanjore District

[Guest guest]

Dear Sir,

I agree with you on the fact that the two incidents

are quite disillusioning. However the time at which it

dates back is debatable. I don't think sri ratnakheta

dikshitar was with the chola kings. From what i have

been told, he was in the maratha time . Chola dynasty

was till approx 12th century a.d. whereas this

incident dates back to approximately 1553 A.D. I have

a book on Sri Appaya dikshitar which clearly states

so.

Sri ratnakheta dikshitar was awarded the title by the

ruler then (whose identity is debatable)as

"ratnakheta".

"kheta" in sanskrit can be said as "khe atanti iti

kheta"

i.e. the one with high flown ideas or in true

translation as the one who occupies the sky (Khe).

I am proud to be a decendant of this great man.

I read with great interest on the topics of Sri Appayya Dikshathar.My Father has

a family chart tracing the roots of Sri Appayya Dikshathar, starting from Sri

Appayya Dikshatar's Father, Sri Appayya Dikshithar, his brother till the

descendants born in early 1960's.which includes my brother and a cousin.

It is interesting to note that Swami Sivananda is one among the great

descendant's of Sri Appayya Dikshithar.

It is said that Maha Vishnu took the' Havir Bagam' from the Homam Sri Appayya

Dikshithar did, and as such, we do not have Maha Vishnu Ilai

when we do the Srartham in my Father's house.

Dear Sri Srinivas Khet,

 

It was nice that you are descendent of mahaan, Sri

Ratnaketa Dikshitha. What further info I know about

him is

1. His gothra is Viswamithra

2. He had lived in places like Thooppil near

Kancheepuram, Sathyamangalam (near Coimbatore?) and of

course Thanjavur Dist.

3. He was a Bahu Yaji as well as great Ambal Upasaka.

4. He also had 3 sons, famous ones being Sri Kesava

Dikshithar and Sri Raja Choodamani Dikshithar, latter

having been minister in the Tanjor Maratta Raja sabha.

These two sons' granthas are available in Saraswathi

Mahal, I learnt.

5. My elders used to say, we too are descendents

(smartha vadama by brahmin sect), and we have an

adishtanam of Sri Ramachandra Dikshithar (Sri

Chandrikananda Natha) at Puliyur (my native)near

Nagapattinam - about 165 year old, with a lot of

disciples spread around. He is my g.father's great

g.father.

6. My g.mother used recite a sloka on Ratnaketa

Dikshithar "vipaccithama paccithey vivathake

nalaccithe...etc...Ratnaketa Dikshite"(I forgot), with

an episode that at the dawn some great pandit came to

the village for a tharka with him. On hearing this

sloka recited by Ratnaketa's wife while cleaning the

house entrance in the morning and seeing the panditya

of the woman folk, he fled the scene.

7. These all were recalled last year when the learned

Srividya upaasaka (Kumbakonam Sri Dinakara sarma)

asked me about lineage of Chandrikanantha Natha and

how he got into Sri Vidya upaasana. We understood

from other upaasakas and yajwas that Ratnaketa

Dikshitha practised both Agni upaasana and Ambaal

upaasana at that time.

 

Regards,

L Vaidyanathan
