nrisimhapriya : US and English versions

[Guest guest]

I understand that Parthasarathi Dileepan's posts are based on recent versions

of the Nrisimhapriya. Is anyone getting Nrisimhapriya in US or did someone

bring few copies from India?

 

One question to ParthaSarathi Dileepan and others who may want to contribute.

I wanted a sort of grep on the whole of naalayiram to find the various ways

alwars have wrote about Other dieties. What I am interested is to understand

their treatment of other dieties. There are extremist views as well as gentle

views regarding one's treatment of other dieties, according to various

sreevaishnava acharyas. Rahasyatraya sara gives certain view points regarding

this. None of the acharyas have shown any hatred towards other dieties

eventhough in their zealous bhakti they may have reduced their reverence to

anyone other then their object of absolute devotion. For that matter one

alwar says that " This mouth of mine, which has sung to Lord ranganatha will not

sing about the God who is in the hills (like a monkey)ie. Venkatesha perumal.

excuse my translation of a tamil verse. I may be totally wrong. I need help

from other tamil scholars in this regard. I remember one post from dileepan

which is probably from nammalwar - which gives comparison between siva and

narayana - regarding their vahanas and that one is the in-dwelling principle

in the other. On the other hand alwars like Kulasekhara, in mukunda mala

stotram feels that all other dieties are worthless compared to his favorite

lord Krishna. I am very seriously interested to know the original verses

as well as the translations of them regarding alwars views on other dieties

 

This may take some time or if someone can grep with proper names of other

dieties one may find the related verses quickly. I am sure the tamil

divya prabandham project folks will know some way of doing it or compiling it

this would be a great study as well and more than anything I need to understand

this real bad. I have tons of vedic, upanishadic and puranic evidences with

me. In fact filloziat in his "varadaraja panchasat" - ananthacharya indological

society publication, has given a few pages of information. In addition

rahasya trayasaram also cites several verses both from sanskrit works as well

as naalayiram works. I will make you a deal. I will write about all the

verses listed in rahasyatrayasara.. from naalayira divya prabanda regarding

this issue... let some one else write from the grep of naalayira divya

prabanda to get a rigorous list of such citations.

 

thanking you all ( in the hope that you will write about this!)
