5. gAmbeeryasimni stitaha:- The ocean is considered to be the height of

gAmbeeryam as per the verses, “samudra eva gAmbeeyam” and “Azha nedum kadal

sErindhAn”. In case of mAmunikal his gAmbeeryam is well known from his divya

srisookthis. While talking about Sribhashyam, Sri sudarsana bhattar says,

“bhAshyam chEth vyavrunOth svayam yathi pathir vyAkhyAnavAchAm thathA

gAmbheeryAth”. Mamunikal’s gAmbeeryam is even greater than the above said

gAmbeeryam. This has been firmly established by prathivAdi bayangarAchAryar

(one of mAmunikal’s ashtadiggajas) in his vara vara muni sathakam

“surAhArAsAreekaraNasaNa yathsookthi laharigareeyasthAm stOthum pravavathi na

vAchaspathirapi” and in many such slokas.

 

 

 

6. kAlushyasya kathA prasangarahitha:- There is no chance for the ocean to

become muddy. It is just an exaggeration when thirumangai azhvar said, “kalanga

munneer kadaindhu amudham kondu” though the nature of the ocean is to be clear

always. Mamunikal is a great scholar in all the sastras and hence there is

absolutely no chance for him to get confused in any matter. Some pandits who

are really confused refuse to accept the same and point their fingers at others

and say “Some get confused in this manner; Let’s clear their doubt”. But in

contrast to them swamy mAmunikal was totally out of all confusions and also

clarifies the confusions of all and hence we celebrate him by the

verses,”senthamizh vEdhiyar sindhai thelindhu sirandhu

magizhindhidunAl-Iypassiyil thirumoolama thenu nAlE” Mamunikal’s vyakhyanams to

all the rahasya granthams are so very clear that no one can really equal swamy

in such clarity.

 

 

 

7. vElAnadheetha:- The ocean never crosses its shore limit unlike the

rivers and lakes which sometimes flood and spoil all the nearby landscapes.

“rAjyancha thava rakshEyam aham vElEva sAgaram”. In the case of mAmunikal,

swamy never crossed the limit, which has been specified, by the sruthi, ithihasa

puranas and azhvar acharya srisookthi’s anywhere in his works. Swamy himself

says,”munnOr mozhindha murai thappAmal kEttu pinnOrindhu thAM adhanai pEsAdhE

thannenjil thOndrinadhayE solli edhu suththa upadesa vara vAttrathenpAr

moorkarAvAr” and that is why we celebrate him as “poiyillAdha manavAlamAmuni

pundhi vAzhi”

 

 

 

8. druva:- The ocean exists always. Even when the world is devastated the

ocean remains. “pArellAm nedunkadalE Ana kAlam” (the earth is submerged into the

sea). Similarly mAmunikal and his greatness will remain forever. “adiyArgal

vAzha aranga nagar vAzha ……kadal soozhindha maNNulagam vAzha manavAla mAmuniyE!

ennum oru nootrAndu erum” is our daily prayer.

 

 

 

May the divine acharya live in our thoughts and minds forever and bless us with

bhagavat/bhagavata/acharya kainkaryam forever.
