Mumukshuppadi - 075

[Guest guest]

Sri:

Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

 

Sri Pillai Lokacharya's

Mumukshuppadi

 

Sutra:

75. inimEl praNavaththai vivarikkiRathu.

 

Meaning:

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.
