Mumukshuppadi - 031

[Guest guest]

Sri:

Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

 

Sri Pillai Lokacharya's

Mumukshuppadi

 

Sutra:

31. ithil muthaR patham praNavam.

 

Meaning:

Amongst the three parts of the Thirumanthra, the first part

is praNavam.

 

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:

Om which is the praNavam is the first part of the

Thirumanthra. There are some who use "am" instead of "Om"

to make up the Ashtakshara manthra. Perhaps to correct

them, Sri Pillai Lokacharya is explicitly stating that the

praNavam is the first part. The reason why he says praNavam

instead of Om is because the manthra itself has to be

received from an acharya through an upadesa.
