Guest guest Posted September 18, 2002 Report Share Posted September 18, 2002 Dear Sri Malolan, It is true that certain unique features do exist in not only Anirrudha,pradhyumnabut also for other forms like antharyAmithwam. What we are talking here is about Guna nalangal of the Lord which is complete in the state of archAvathAram. " Sarvam POrnamsahOm" is the upanishadh quote given by sri manavAla mAmunigal in 158. It is not that other qualities are devoid in archAvathAram but are perhaps in a subtlestate. One of the qualities which are common for the five forms and qualities which are peculiar to the forms, sparkle - not just exist- sparkle meaning that even other qualities do exist but do not sparkle. If we assume that what is said above is untrue, then not only the text of AchArya hridhayam, but upanishad vAkyam, manavAla mamunigal s commentary would become untrue. Further, AzhwArs prabhandha verses which are preceding to all which you have quoted take priority and I hope you will agree that we should at no point of time deny the truthfulness of Azhwar S pAsurams. For instance, if we are to agree that quality of vyOham does not exist in archai, then we will be refuting perumal thirumozhi 1-10 " van peru vAnagam vuyya" and the whole of thiru voizh mozhi 7-2 kangulum paghalum and hundereds of Azhwar s verses. I reproduce swAmi manavAla mAmunigal original vyakyAna text of AchArya hridhyam -158 in this regard -"Aga ippadi Asridha AdhEna swarOpasthithyAdhikamai 'adiyOmukkE"ennumbadi karai vizhundha idamAna archAvathArathil murpattavaRRil vullavaiyum ( in other forms) kAnalAm AgaiyAlE 'dhEva pirAn ariyum ennumbadi mandiyiruppadhu karuthu" I am just quoting AchArya hridhayam, swami manavAla mAmunigal vyAkyAnam, AzhwAr s prabhandham etc. If these are tobe unture, the opinion is yours. However, we should not forget that the whole premise of our faith and philosophy is completely built on dhivya prabhndham verses and others are supplementary. Sree bhAshyakArar was able to complete sreebhAshyam to a perfect manner with the helpof dhiya prabhandha verses. " vudaiyavar idhu kondu sOthra vAkyangalai orunga viduvar" . Still if you feel that I am at fault, I concede that the fault lies in me not the contents of the great spiritual seers and Azhwars. Thank you. vAnamAmalai Padmanabhan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
