Sri Pillai Lokacharya's Mumukshuppadi - 022

[Guest guest]

Sri:

Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

 

Original Sutra:

22. maRRellAm pEsilum engiRapadiyE aRiyavENdum arththamellAm

ithukkuLLE uNdu.

 

Meaning:

As in Thirumangai Azhvar's pAsuram "nin thiruvettezhuththum

kaRRu maRRellAm pEsilum", this Thirumanthra has in it, all

the meanings that are required for the upliftment of the soul.

 

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:

The Thirumanthra is now being celebrated as one that contains

all the meanings that one needs.

 

Thirumangai Azhvar sang, "maRRumOr theyvam uLathenRiruppArOdu

uRRilEn uRRathum unnadiyArkkadimai, maRRellAm pEsilum nin

thiruvettezhuththum kaRRu nAn thirukkaNNapurathtuRai ammAnE".

 

Its meaning is: O Lord of Thirukkannapuram! I will not be

with those who consider attachment to gods other than You.

Your divine ashtakshara manthra has in it all the meanings

that one has to learn. Yet I will not consider all those

meanings and instead consider that the only meaning of the

Thirumanthra is bhAgavata kainkarya and learn that alone.

 

Here, by the phrase "maRRellAm pEsilum" it is clear that the

Thirumanthra has in it all the meanings that are necessary

for the upliftment of the soul to His lotus feet.
