5. gAmbeeryasimni stitaha:- The ocean is considered to be the

height of gAmbeeryam as per the verses, “samudra eva gAmbeeyam” and

“Azha nedum kadal sErindhAn”. In case of mAmunikal his gAmbeeryam is

well known from his divya srisookthis. While talking about

Sribhashyam, Sri sudarsana bhattar says, “bhAshyam chEth vyavrunOth

svayam yathi pathir vyAkhyAnavAchAm thathA gAmbheeryAth”.

Mamunikal’s gAmbeeryam is even greater than the above said

gAmbeeryam. This has been firmly established by prathivAdi

bayangarAchAryar (one of

mAmunikal’s ashtadiggajas) in his vara vara muni sathakam

“surAhArAsAreekaraNasaNa yathsookthi laharigareeyasthAm stOthum

pravavathi na vAchaspathirapi” and in many such slokas.

 

6. kAlushyasya kathA prasangarahitha:- There is no chance for the

ocean to become muddy. It is just an exaggeration when thirumangai

azhvar said, “kalanga munneer kadaindhu amudham kondu” though the

nature of the ocean is to be clear always. Mamunikal is a great

scholar in all the sastras and hence there is absolutely no chance

for him to get confused in any matter. Some pandits who are really

confused refuse to accept the same and point their fingers at others

and say “Some get confused in this manner; Let’s clear their doubt”.

But in contrast to them swamy mAmunikal was

totally out of all confusions and also clarifies the confusions of all

and hence we celebrate him by the verses,”senthamizh vEdhiyar sindhai

thelindhu sirandhu magizhindhidunAl-Iypassiyil thirumoolama thenu

nAlE” Mamunikal’s vyakhyanams to all the rahasya granthams are so

very clear that no one can really equal swamy in such clarity.

 

7. vElAnadheetha:- The ocean never crosses its shore limit

unlike the rivers and lakes which sometimes flood and spoil all the

nearby landscapes. “rAjyancha thava rakshEyam aham vElEva sAgaram”.

In the case of mAmunikal, swamy never crossed the limit, which has

been specified, by the sruthi, ithihasa puranas and azhvar acharya

srisookthi’s anywhere in his works. Swamy himself says,”munnOr

mozhindha murai thappAmal kEttu pinnOrindhu thAM adhanai pEsAdhE

thannenjil thOndrinadhayE solli edhu suththa upadesa vara

vAttrathenpAr moorkarAvAr” and that

is why we celebrate him as “poiyillAdha manavAlamAmuni pundhi vAzhi”

 

8. druva:- The ocean exists always. Even when the world is

devastated the ocean remains. “pArellAm nedunkadalE Ana kAlam” (the

earth is submerged into the sea). Similarly mAmunikal and his

greatness will remain forever. “adiyArgal vAzha aranga nagar vAzha

……kadal soozhindha maNNulagam vAzha manavAla mAmuniyE! ennum oru

nootrAndu erum” is our daily prayer.

 

May the divine acharya live in our thoughts and minds forever and

bless us with bhagavat/bhagavata/acharya kainkaryam forever.
