Dear Bhagavatas,

This is the 8th and final part of this series which

Sri Sampath Rengarajan wanted me to post.

Subj: thanthanan thanthAL nizhaLE - part 8

 

First, it is learnt that AchArya hruthayam

is given utmost importance in learning

our thamizh maRai. Then, what is the most

important aspect and the ultimate need

for AzhwAr as well as all of us and jiVas

are seen. Such aspect known as saranyath

thuvam is described in "vuyirp paattu" in

thiruviNNagram mangaLA sAsanam. So our

entire analysis is based on accepting our

AzhwAr aruLich cheyal as a pramAnam for

this friendly debate.

 

If some one says AzhwAr aruLichcheyals

are not acceptable in intra shcolastic

debates, we may say that it is so only

fot the debates of a Srivaishnava with a

vedAnthin or a scholar from other faith.

As such this pAsuram is from "Sri Bagawath

vishayam", one of the chathur granthAs of

importance to our siddhAntham.

 

When there is a debate among

Srivaishnavas, if someone says that

AzhwAr aruLich cheyAl is not accpetable

as a pramAnam, then we must request them

to first read Swami dEsikan's

"Kaasiniyin mani anaitthu" that upholds

nammazhwar arulich cheyal as the most

valid and authoritative source that has

NO comparison. If still not convinced, it

is better we all go to our AcharayA and

seek their guidance on this pasuram

"kaisniyin" and in this context of

authority of nammAzhwAr aruLich cheyal

in inter srivaishnava debates.

 

Now that we learnt this - let us go and

see one important opiliappa bhakthAL who

is doing a nandavan kaimkaryam to HIM.

We approached a house with gardens and

there Sri Sadagopan receives everyone.

 

Sri Sadagopan: I heard all that you said

Rengarajan, It is wonderful.

 

Sri Anbil: Rengarajan, your eedupAdu

with poorvahcarya works is very deep.

Keep it up.

 

Rengarajan: It is all your AsirvAdahams.

Now, adiyEn wants to hear HIS

mAhAthmiyam from devareer now. By the

way, we have also brought a old person

who wanted to hear it and was here all

this time. (looked around), I think

he has left and is not here.

 

SadagOpan: Rengarajan, you know that HE

will be in perumAL sannithi now.
