Notes :

*********

 

* SaThAri refers to one who his the enemy of SaTha vAyu, which

actually influences the new born babies to get bounded by

prakRuti ie.samsAra. Since NammAzhvAr controlled the SaTha-vAyu,

he is addressed as "SaThAri". SaThakOpa implies a similar

meaning. SaThajit also refers to the same meaning.

(ji => To conquer).

 

* The first AchArya of SrI Ahobila Muth is SrI Aadi-vaN SaThakOpa

JIyar. Intimate connection got established between this JIyar

and NammAzhvAr when the former obtained the latter's

archa-mUrti at AazhvAr thirunagari and re-concecrated it.

The title "vaN-SaThakOpa" is used for all the JIyars who

followed this JIyar. Some JIyars had "SaThakOpa" as a part of

their thirunAmam (name) also. The first JIyar was named as

"SaThakOpa" Yati by Lord Lakshmi NRusimha.

 

* ra~nga-SaThAri refers to SrI SrIra~nga SaThakOpa yatIndra -

mahAdESika, popularly known as In~jimETTu Azhagiyasi~ngar

(42nd paTTam). yati-indra implies "Prince of Yatis". Originally,

Bhagavad RAmAnuja was known as "YatIndra" and "YatirAja".

Many sannyAsis of this sampradAyam do caryy over that title.

dESika implies "AchArya".

 

* samyami is same as yati Or SannyAsi. To be more specific,

it refers to one who has controlled all indriyas and mind,

for performing yOga/dhyAna on SrIman NArAyaNa,the Para-Bramhan.

 

* samyamivarAt + labdha = samyamivarAllabdha.

 

* labh => To obtain.

 

* aagama-anta-dvayam refers to Ubhaya-VEdAnta. aagama-anta is the

end of aagama ie.vEdas, which is vEda-anta = vEdAnta.

Ubhaya-VEdAnta => Twin-VEdAnta, comprising that of Sanskrit as

well as Tamil (by AzhwArs).

 

* vIra-raghUtvahAdya-SaThajit : This refers to SrI VIrarAghava

yatIndra mahAdESika, popularly known as dEvanArviLAgam

Azhagiyasi~ngar (43rd paTTam). The middle word refers to

one born in the lineage of King Raghu, implying the name

Raghava (RAma).

 

* avatamsa refers to "crown". vEda-avatamsa refers to vEdAnta.

 

* vEda-avatamsa-dESika-yatEH refers to SrI VEdAnta dESika yatIndra

mahAdESika, popularly known as MukkUr Azhagiyasi~ngar
