Sri Pillai Lokacharya's Mumukshuppadi - 013

[Guest guest]

Sri:

Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

 

Original Sutra:

13. iththai vEthankaLum rishikaLum AzhvArkaLum AcAryarkaLum

virumbinArkaL.

 

Meaning:

This Thiruvashtakshara mahA manthra is loved and supported by

the Vedas, the Rishis that came to explain the Vedas, the

Azhvars as well as our Acharyas.

 

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:

The manthras other than Thirumanthra came to be supported by

kudrushtis because of their incompleteness. Conversely we would

expect that because of its completeness the Thirumanthra would

be greatly supported by the true followers of Sriman Narayana.

This is being shown in this sUtra.

 

Here the Vedas means the height of the Vedas which are the

Upanishads. In many Upanishads, in the Ithihasas and Puranas

written by great Rishis, in the divine works of Azhvars, and in

the knowledge imparting works of our Acharyas, the greatness of

the Thirumanthra is well spoken about.
