[Guest guest]

Bhattar nirvAham (contd)

 

Further Sri Parasara bhattar continues to show how the three parts of

thirunedunthAndakam gives the meanings of the three great secrets in

sampradayam called the rahasyathrayam, viz., thirumanthram, dvayam,

charama slokam.

 

First ten gives the essence of THIRUMANTHRAM “ennuruvil nindra

endhai” (1) – pranavArtham “thalirpuraiyum thiruvadi en thalai

mElavE (1) – na: sabdhArtham “minnuruvAi munnuruvil” (1) – nArAyana

sabdhArtham

 

Second ten gives the essence of the second rahasyam, DVAYAM

“villiruththu melliyal thOL thOiththAi” (13) and “thirumAlai

pAdakkEttu” (14) -‘srimath’ padArtham “kandrumEiththu enidhugandha

kAlAi” (16) and “thundrukuzhal karuniraththu en thunaiyE” (16) –

nArAyana sabdhArtham “adiyinaiyum kamalavaNNam” (18) – charaNa

sabdhArtham “edu seidhAr” (11) and “pErpAdi” (19) – sharaNa

sabdhArtham “neervaNNan neermaikkE pOvEn” (18) and “neerAda pOnAl” –

prapathyE “pAvai mAyan moiyagalaththuliruppAl” (19) and “piththar

panimalar mEl pAvaikku” (18) – uttarakaNda ‘srimad’ sabdhArtham

“pAraiyundu…” (20) – uttarakaNda nArAyana sabdhArtham “pErpAdith

thAnkudandhai nagarum pAdi” (19) – na: sabdhArtham

 

Third ten gives the essence of the third rahasyam, CHARAMA SLOKAM

“kaivalaiyum mEgalaiyum kAnEn” (22) and “erukaiyil sangivai nilla”

(24) – ‘sarva dharmAn parithyajya’ “karumugilE oppar vannam” (24)

and “orukaiyil sangoru kai mattrAzhi A-ndhiengE vandhu” (24) –

thereby indicates to mAmEkam, the one who is seen along with the

conch in hand. “enthan ponnilangu mulaikuvattil poottikkondu” (28)

and “andrAyar kulamagalukkaraiyan thannai – adinAyEn ninaindhittEnE”

(29) – puts the meaning of ‘shAranam vraja’ into practice

“minnumAmazhai thavazhum mEgavaNNA vinnavar tham perumAnE” (30) –

‘aham’ “arulAi” otherwise “ennai arulAi” – ‘tvA’ “thollai

pazhavinai mudhalariya vallAr thAmE” (30) – ‘sarvapApEbyO

mOkshayishyAmi’ “arulAi” (30) – ‘mAsucha:’

 

[Dear bhagavatas, I am sure that most of the words given above will be

puzzling to many of you. These are rahasyams (secrets) that have been

preserved as precious gems by our poorvAcharyas. Secret doesn’t mean

that it should not be leaked out at all; it is not given to all who

are not qualified. But the admission is easy; get SAMASRAYAM from

your acharya at once who will do the rahasyatraya upadesam to you.

But the same acharya may not be able to explain the meanings of the

same in detail (we are not ready to give them the time due to our

busy schedule though they are ever ready to help us out) so now here

is a very rare but precious opportunity to learn the Thirumanthram

the first of the rahasyams sitting at home (through cds) spending

just 18 hours of our time this margazhi month that starts from today.

immediately so

that you don’t miss this opportunity.]

 

We will continue with more of bhattar’s nirvAham in the next posting.
