Dear bAgwathAs,

Some eyebrows were raised while reading

quotations from "AchAryA hrudayam". adiyEn

would like to provide some additional info

on this aboorva grantham.

 

It is a widely accepted fact that no one

has studied Sri nammAzhwAr's mind

so thoroughly as similar to Sri Azhagiya

maNavALa perumAL nAyanAr. His "nool" or grantham is

in manipravALam. It is said that Only a few have thoroughly

understood this aboorva grantham "AchArya hruthayam".

Sri purushOtthama Naidu took extraordinary efforts

to understand this and write a simple tamil literature

on this (ie., vyAkyAnam for vyAkyAnam) known

as AchArya hruthayam or in tamil "mARan maNam" (ie nammAzhwAr's

^^^^^^^

thought).

Sri purushOththama nAidu is a great tamil scholar. He has written

such vyAkyAnams for other vyAkyAnams, the most important being the one

for Idu vyAkyAnam. It is excellent. It is available at the Madras

University library. There are around 10 books costing about Rs. 200

each. During my last visit I bought the first two. Stupid me, I didn't

have enough cash on me and they won't take credit cards

It is an excellent start for Idu vyAkyAnam.

 

(BTW shouldn't the title of the book read as "mARan manam"? )
