Mumukshuppadi - 058

[Guest guest]

Sri:

Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

 

Sri Pillai Lokacharya's

Mumukshuppadi

 

Sutra:

58. SthAnapramANaththAlE ukAram avathararaNArththam.

 

Meaning:

The ukAram is used in place of the word eva (only, exactly)

and therefore it has the meaning of avatAraNam (descent).

 

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:

The meaning of ukAram has to be taken as the same as if the

word eva had been used. In the Vedas it is in place of eva

that ukAram is usually used ("tadEvAgnis tat vAyus tat sUryas

tadu candramA:"). Thus by being used in place of eva the

meaning of ukAram can be taken as avatAraNam.
