Sri Pillai Lokacharya's Mumukshuppadi - 009

[Guest guest]

Sri:

Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

 

Original Sutra:

9. Avai thAn vyApakankaLenRum avyApakankaLenRum iraNdu varkkam.

 

Meaning:

These manthras are of two kinds. Those that speak of the Lord

in His limitless and all pervading form are known as vyApaka

manthras. Those that speak of His avatharas, some of His

limitless guNas and some of His leelas are known as avyApaka

manthras.

 

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:

The manthras that speak of the Lord are not all of the same

kind. They are broken up as vyApaka manthras and avyApaka

manthras. Those that show that the Lord's form is all

pervading are grouped as vyApaka manthras. Those that speak

of one or a few of His avatharas, His guNas or His leelas are

grouped as avyApaka manthras.
