(My understanding is that 'kaamam' here is bhagavath vishaya kaamam) Those who have attained this purushaarthaa will have had attained the other two purushaarthaas. END QUOTE I still fail to understand where exactly does the aazhwaar specify that 'kaamam' is the best of the purushaarthaas by attaining which we get the other two too. As Sri. Badri had pointed out, in "ivaRRin idai adhanai eythuvar" if 'idai' means among the three, which could very well be true, this question of where does he point out that kaamam is the best comes up even more strongly. I think i still miss something. As you reach the end of the phrase, aazhvaar includes all three. Sri.

The entire line is: "aar aar ivaRRinidai adhanai eydhuvaar, seeraar irukalaiyum eydhuvaar" When separated as above this means, "those who attain the one among the three would attain the other two as well." Then, which is the one, of the three, when attained implicitly indicates the earlier attainment of the other two. Note that the order in which the three objects are attained is supposed to be aRam, then poruL, and then finally inbam. Therefore, those who have attained "inbam" (adhanai eydhuvaar) would already have the other two as well (seerar irkalaiyum eydhuvaar). (The above is completely based upon the commentary by Uththamoor Sri Veeraraghavachari published by Sri Visishtadvaitha Pracharini Sabha, 27, Venkatesa Agraharam, Mylapore, Madras 600 004.) -- dhaasan parthasarati dileepan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
