Srimath Azhagiya Singar'82nd Thiru Nakshatram Special Relaeses : Bhagavad Vishayam : Part II

[Guest guest]

SrI:Dear SrI Nrisimha BhakthAs :

 

The first vyAkhyAnam for Thiruvaimozhi

was by Thirukkuruhai PiLLAn PirAn(6ooo

Padi) following the kaNakku of Sri VishNu

PurAnam. This was followed by Nanjeeyar's

9,000 padi . PeriyavAcchAn PiLLai's 24,000

Padi folowed the number of slOkams

of Srimad RaamAyaNam in size.

 

Vadakku Thiruveethi PiLLai with great effort

composed Ieedu 36,000 Padi but incurred the

displeasure of his AchAryan , NampiLLai in

creating it from NampiLLai's KaalakshEpams

without his AchAryan's permisison . This Ieedu

grantam stayed out of circulation for many years

and finally was permitted to be released thru

NaayinAcchAr PiLLai , the son of Periya VaacchAn

PiLlai .

 

VaadhikEsari Azhagiya MaNavALa Jeeyar was

the sishyar of NaayinAcchAr PiLLai and he blessed

us with two commentaries on ThiruvAimozhi:

(1) 12,000 padi (2) DramidOpanishad Sangathi

in Sanskrit , which provided the meaning of

each dasakam .

 

Swamy Desikan was a contemproary of

NayinArAcchAn PiLLai , PiLLai LOkaacchAr

( son of Vadakku Thiruveethi PiLLai) , Vaadhi

Kesari Azhagiya MaNavALa PerumAl were

contemporaries .

 

Swamy Desikan blessed us with two SrI

Sookthis : (1) DramidOpanishad Taatparya

RatnAvaLi incorporating the meaning of

the paasurams of each dasakam and

(2) DramidOpanishad Saaram , which

summarized the meanings of each

Satakam ( Patthu). Few decades later ,

Sri Saila SrinivAsa Desika Swamy contributed

two granthams in MaNipravALam as

commentary to the two SrI Kosams of

Swamy Desikan .

 

MaNavALa MaamunikaL presented for

a whole year the Ieedu 36,000 at

Srirangam Temple and was honored by

Lord RanganAtha Himself . He became

known as 36,000 Perukkar . MaamunikaL

also blessed us with ThiruvAimozhi

NooRRandhAthi in VeNNpaa meter.

This Sri Sookti summarized the meanings

of each dasakam .

 

We will focus on DramidOpanishad

Taatparya RatnAvaLi .

 

There is a Temple for Thirukkuruhai PirAn

PiLLAn at Kaanchi Sannidhi Street , which is

not protected well from the elements .

 

Perhaps some one of you would like to

come forward to provide repairs to

permit nityArAdhanam to continue here .

 

Please let me know of your potential

interests .

 

NamO Sri RaamAnujAya ,
