SRI VAIKUNTA STHAVAM 3: "WHO IS THIS PURUSHA?"

[Guest guest]

Dear Bhagavatas:

 

A BhAgavata has asked for the details regarding the quoted verse "yasya

Sree nitya hridhyA nirupadhi gruhiNee nandathi chchanda vrithyA" and where

exactly it is present and its form.

 

Except for Sandhi vigraham of compound words in Sanskrit for facilitating

easy reading of the slOkas and perhaps a line or two by way of introduction

and elucidation, I have not done anything. All I have attempted is a

translation with appropriate editing and fine tuning to suit our readership

here.

 

All the credit goes to our great AchArya, Sri U.Ve. VidwAn S. PaiyambADi

SEtlur . SrivatsAnkAchariar Swami, an ardent disciple of Abhinava DEsika

Uttamur SwAmi.

 

I have indicated this in the write up itself thus:

"SRI SRIVATSANKACHAR SWAMI'S COMMENTS"

 

He is recognized as an institution by himself in our Siddhanta. He would

never say anything without proper authority. We, as his trusting disciples

learning at his feet learned also never to ask for such authority, since we

believe his words are authority enough for us.

 

While doing such editing and fine tuning, I have never failed to record my

gratitude and due acknowledgments to the original authors even at the very

beginning of the series.

 

Also, since my writings are based on kAlakshEpam outputs of numerous Acharyas

and Scholars (including Sri SrivatsAnkAchariar Swami), over several decades,

I am not able to pinpoint which particular interpretation was given out by

which particular Acharya and when and what authority, if any, they had cited

from.

 

In such cases, I have always taken care to give credit collectively to all

whom I remember and those whom I do not remember at the point of time of my

writing.

 

If you are interested, you may contact Sri SrivatsAnkAchariar SwAmi himself

for the authority. He is presently heading a project in the French Institute

at Pondicherry.
