Guest guest Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Sri TCA's clarification - TCA Venkatesan Oppiliappan Monday, January 10, 2005 11:50 PM Re: Bhattar Sri:Dear Sri Padmanabhan and Sri Sudarshan Swamins,The almost same question and answer dialog as in Thiruppavai pasuram 25 is given in Periya Thirumozhi (pasuram 5-10-7) vyakhyanam. Bhattar is quoted as saying "avarkaLukku mulai suravA ninRathAkil ivan anjA ninRAnAkil umakkuivvArAycchi enthAn?"I think the use of the word "ArAycchi" here ratherthan the word "sEtham" perhaps makes it clear whatBhattar's intent is. It appears that Bhattar ispointing out that there is no need to do intenseresearch on who Krishna's true mother was, whogave milk to Him and why, etc. It is best to simplyenjoy the Lord's acts as explained by Azhvars and Acharyas.You can see the translation of the whole dialog between Nanjeeyar (who asked the question) and Bhattar athttp://www.acharya.org/articles/aditlooa/aditlooa068.htmladiyEn madhurakavi dAsan--- Padmanabhan <aazhwar wrote:> Dear SwAmi, > > Usually sri bhattar reply will be in a manner where the> essence of the doubt is clarified precisely.> > For example, when somebody asked in the context of the> thiru-vioi-mozhip pAsuram "AnAllan, pen allan", What is> the gender of the Lord then? kindly refer to EDu for> thiru-voi-mozhi pAsuram 2-5-10;> > sri bhattar incisively clarified that He is the supreme> purushothaman the paramAthmA in contrast to the> jEvAthmAs.> > However, here instead of such repliy, the reply is" How> are you the loser?..vumakkuch sEdham en?" > > This is rare as when we see sri bhattar's precise> clarificiations,> such type of replies are rare.> > The cynical reply makes this interesting.
