Guest guest Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 nam-piLLai " nam-perumAL, nam-AzhwAr, nam-jEyar, nam-piLLai enbar-avaravar tham yERRathAl, anbudaiyOr sARRuth thirunAmangaL thAn enRu nan nenjEA yERRadhanai solli nE inRu " upadhEsa rathina mAlai-50 All the four mentioned above are prefixed by " our " -nam which is due to their respective greatness and this is bestowed by those with love and affection. nam-piLLai is placed in this exclusive, elite class. Does it not show his greatness? A few glimpses into his commentary: A pAsuram in sixth ten: " pEdudai nAn muganai padaithAnukku, mAdu mannaRku dhUthu sel nambikku..... " 6-6-4 When describing the Lord AzhwAr mentions as - The Lord who has created the majestic brahmA, The Lord who went as a messenger for those who possess the country. The commentator could well have commented on these lines and proceded. swAmi nam-piLLai meticulously explains 1. Why " pEdu " is prefixed to nAn muganai? chadurtha bhuvanangaLaiyum padaikka srustikka valla chadhur mugan-Edu The power to create the four worlds is the " pEdu " -majestic-for brahmA. 2. " nAdudai mannaRku " - The Lord went as an ambassador for those who possess the kingdom. Actually, they did not have the kingdom. dhuryOdhanA is in possession of the kingdom. Then why come AzhwAr mentions as 'nAdudai mannaRku " ?. Edu: " bhagwadh apiprAyathAlE avargaLai nAdudai mannar engiRAr kANum " Though, the pANdavAs do not possess anything, as per the Lord' esteemed opinion, they possess the kingdom. Hence, the prefix 'nAdudai " (to be continued) vanamamalai padmanabhan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
