Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Respected Swamins, in a recent message one of sri.desikas compositions was spelt as AchuyyA Sayakam. Perhaps this is how it is pronounced in prakrit.But was it also written like this by our Desikar? tHIS ALSO RAISES A QUESTION. wHAT PROMPTED OUR SIMHAM TO compose a hundred verses in an ancient language not in use. this is not a devabasha.Was it to show his mastery in that language or was their any other purpose?Are there other works in this language by any of our acharya parampara? Thesr are genuine doubts. adiyen daSAN NARAYANAN Mail is new and improved - Check it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Dear Sir, One of the reasons for composing AchuyyA Sayakam in prAkrit by Deshikar may be to target Buddhists and Jains. Their foremost scriptures appeared in Prakrit (when Sanskrit was the norm). dAsan K. Sreekrishna tatachar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 SrI: Dear SwAmin, I heard the following explanation in a discourse for Swami Desikan's composition of Achutha Sathakam in Prakrutham: Swami Desikan was so devoted to Lord Devanathan that he considered himself to be a nAyaki (vEnkatanAyaki) in love with the Lord. In those days, women were more comfortable with Prakutham than Sanskrit. As Swami Desikan had become a nAyaki, to be consistent with this thought, he could have composed Achutha Sathakam in Prakrutham. dAsan, Venkatesh. -- On Tue, 7 Sep 2004, Rajagopalan Narayan wrote: > > Respected Swamins, > in a recent message one of sri.desikas compositions was spelt as AchuyyA Sayakam.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 SRI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest all, There is also an another anubhavam to the reason for composition in prAkrutham: It is thus not a mandate that the sthOthras need to be in Sanksrit; It can be in any language and Swamy wanted to establish that. I read this somewhere just a month ago: Due to old age creeping in- do not remember where I read.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Sri RAmajayam SrimathE GOpAla DEsika MahA DEsikAya Namaha Swamin, The other anubhavam could possibly be, "Saraswathi's infant language was Prakrutham", and has a childish mellifluosness. And Swamy DEsikan thus chose Prakrutham for Acchutha Sayayam (Sathakam).
