"sIr ulagAriyan seidarul narkkalai tEsu pozhindidu nAl"

 

sIr ulagAriyan - glorious Swamy Pillai lokacarya

seidarul narkalai - the great rahasya works of Swamy Pillailokacarya

tEsu pozhindidu nAl - started to shower its lustre - unending stream of

knowledge

 

This phrase hails that it was due to the birth of Swamy Manavala Mamunigal, the

rahasya works of Swamy Pillai lokacarya became crystal clear to all the

knowledge mongers. Swamy Manavala Mamunigal wrote elaborate commentaries on the

three most important works of Swamy Pillai Lokacarya namely -

1. Srivacana bhUshanam - dealing in detail about Bhagavan, His concert, the

duties of samsaris, greatness of acarya, the unconditional grace of the Lord

being the means to attain moksha, the concepts of saranagati and acarya

samarsrayanam.

2. Mumukshupadi - in depth analysis of the three rahasyams , tirumandiram,

dvayam, and caramaslokam.

3. tatva trayam - elaborate study of Isvara, cit and acit.

 

All these works are in tamil. But being sutra granthas, the wrods used by Swamy

Pillai Lokacarya are minimal. So it needed a right commentator to bring out the

esoteric meanings embedded in it. It was fulfilled by Swamy Manavala Mamunigal

who is known as "viSada vAk sikhAmani " - one who is adept in making even a lay

man understand difficult concepts with his writing/oratorical power .

 

So ippasi mUlam is the root for Swamy Pillai Lokacaryas works.

Let us hail ippasi mUlam.
