LITERARY CONTRIBUTIONS

Periyavachan Pillai having written vyakyanam to all the divya prabandhams

earned the title Vyakyana Chakravarthi. Unfortunately due to ignorance,

some of his vyakyanams written for Periyazhwar Thirumozhi were lost in

time. Sishyaas of Manavala Mamunikal, seeing his prabhavam, requested him

to complete the missing parts. As per their wish, Swami did write

vyakyanams. However, seeing Mamunikal’s vyakyanam every one wanted him to

write similar vyakyanams for all the divya prabandhams. Mamunikal refused

to do the same saying that while poorvacharyas granthams are available it

is inappropriate to write our own. In the same way, our Swami also

decided not to write any additional vyakyanams, even though he is

undoubtedly qualified.

However, to clarify some of the doubts in our sampradhayam, Swami was not

reluctant to write based on poorvacharyas vyakyanams. Some of his works

are “Dhraupathiyum Thirunamamum” , “Sri Ramayana Saram”, “Geetha

Saram” etc., Out of these, Dhraupathiyum Thirunamamum is an

outstanding research work to clarify various doubts about the

sampradhayam. Some people with great envy wrote derogatory remarks about

our Swami’s works. However, he maintained complete silence about these

‘critics’ and even treated them with due respect.
