KurEsar's Sri VaradarAja Sthavam :Part XXI-- SlOkam 10

[Guest guest]

SrimathE RaamAnujAya nama:

 

Dear Sri VaradarAja BhakthAs:

 

In the 10th slOlam , KurEsar Concludes his salutations to

the VedaGiri of Kaanchi , The Hasthi Giri that makes it

so very easy to have the anubhava soubhAgyam and the dhivya

anugraham of the PurANa Purushan , Sri VaradarAjan .

 

Kuresar is a great VedAnthin , who helped AchArya RaamAnujA

write Sri BhAshyam. Tarkam , VyAkaraNam were under his full

control . Here , KurEsar points out that Hasthigiri stands

in the form of PramANam(Proof) and declares that all that is

declared by the VedAs are Sathyam and invites Veda Baahyars like

Jainaas and BhouddhAs to come to it (Hasthigiri )and convince

themselves about the inaccuracy of their doctrines that reject

Vedam. Those Veda Baahyars will recognize the samvAdhi PramANam

of Hasthigiri by worshipping the Lord standing on top of it

and will be cured of their misconceptions.They hunger for

PramANam for the truth of the VedAs . Their hunger will be

quenched by Hasthigiri standing in the place of the needed

PramANam with the Lord on its top.Such is the power of

the sacred Hasthigiri!

 

The tenth slOkma takes this form:

 

SamvadhEtha kila yath pramAntharai:

tath pramANamithi yE hi mEnirE

tanmathE api Bhatha MaanathAm gathA

HasthinA adhya Paravasthuni Thrayi

 

(meaning): Veda Baahyas , who reject the Vedams

believe that the prathyakshAthi PramANams should be

checked against other PramANams to convince themselves

about the truth of existence of any doctrine . Unless they

see the fire in person , they would not accept the smoke

coming out of the mountain to be linked with fire.

This is also the view of KumArila Bhattar besides

Buddhists and Jains. Our VedAntham accepts indirect proofs

( itharApEksham) . The Hillock of Hasthi stands as

the needed counter pramANam for Vedam (SaaRRU PramANmam)

to help the Veda BaahyAs accept the Lord

as the doctrine saluted by the Vedams and concede

the inaccuracies of their erstwhile , adamant views.

 

(Comments): The Veda Baahyas have arrived at Hasthigiri

seeking convincing proof for the matching PramANam for

the PrathyakshAthi PramANam . They see the Lord standing

there on top of the Hasthigiri and recognize that Hasthigiri

stands in place of the counter pramANam that they needed

for accepting the Vedams as Sathyam.They too recognize then

that the Lord there as the Supreme Being (Para Vasthu) saluted

by the VedAs.
