Sri Pillai Lokacharya's Mumukshuppadi - 075

Sri: | Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

 

Sutra 75:

The parts other than the praNavam in the Thirumanthram explain the praNavam.

 

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:

>From here on, the nama: part of Thirumathram which is known as mantra sEsham and

the nArAyanAya part have to be explained.

 

First it is said that the mantra sEsham is an explanation for the praNavam.

Breaking a word or phrase into multiple parts and showing the meanings of each

part is the usual method of explaining something. So, why would it be said that

the mantra sEsham explains praNavam, when it does not break the praNavam part by

part and show their meanings?

 

Even if it does not take the parts of the source and explain them, as it speaks

the essential meanings of the source and expands on it, the mantra sEsham can be

said to explain the praNavam. That is, the collected meanings of the praNavam

that were shown before are explained in great detail by the remaining two parts

of the Thirumanthram.
