Dear bhaktas,

 

On the auspicious thirunakshatram of SrI KEtANDapaTTi SwAmi

(aippasi-moolam; 8th Nov 2002), the kUTasthar of the lineage

to which SrI UttamUr SwAmi belongs, the precious SrutaprakASika

edition by SrI UttamUr SwAmi (and later re-edited by SwAmi's

disciple " MahAmahOpAdhyAya " SrI SrIvatsA~nkAchArya

SwAmi) published by " Sri Uttamur Viraraghavachariar Centenary

Trust " was released by SrI SrIbhAshya-SimhAsanAdipati

SrI PuriSai NaDAdUr KRushNamAchArya SwAmi and the first

copy recipient was " MahAmahOpAdhyAya abhinava-sudarSana

bhaTTa SrI PerukkAraNai ChakravarthyAchArya SwAmi, under

the adhyakshakam of SrI PayyampADi VE~nkaTavaradAchArya

SwAmi (the successor to SrI UttamUr SwAmi in that lineage).

 

All these three mahAns spoke about the greatness of SrI-BhAshyam,

SrutaprakASika etc, pUrvAchAryas and also about " abhinava dESika "

ie. SrI UttamUr SwAmi.

 

SrIbhAshya SimhAsanAdipati SrI VillUr NaDAdUr -

KaruNAkarAchArya SwAmi spoke about three instances of his

liking from SrI UttamUr SwAmi's tippaNi to SrutaprakASika

named " SudarSana SEvA " - the interesting one of which was

on the resolving of the apparent conflict between SrutaprakASika

and its commentary " BhAvaprakASika " by " Upanishad BhAshyakAra "

SrI Ra~ngarAmAnuja Muni on the number of sAmAnAdhikaraNyas

used by advaitins [context : tat-tavm-asi vichAram in SrI-BhAshyam].

 

SrI MannArkuDi RAjagOpAchArya SwAmi spoke on the

topic related to " mImAmsA " from SrI UttamUr SwAmi's

Sudarsana SEvA, wherein clarification is brought out between

the way SrI-BhAshyam and SrutaprakASika explains a particular

Sruti text.

 

This edition also has good Introduction by SrI UttamUr SwAmi

apart from an excellent treatise called " Upayukta MImAmsA "

on the mImAmsA knowledge necessary for VEdAnta.

 

Also included are SrI-SUktis of the pUrvAchAryas (verses/poetic

type; not prose) on Bramha-SUtras, like SrI KEtANDapaTTi

SwAmi, SrI MukkUr Azhagiyasi~ngar [who donated for some

of the important publications of Sri UttamUr SwAmi].

 

SrI SrIvatsA~nkAchArya SwAmi has added very useful

informations as well.

publication possible. Special thanks to Smt Radha Rangarajan,

SrI Srinath Chakravarthy and SrI Mani Varadarajan for
