[Guest guest]

SrI:

SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

 

Dearest all,

 

Having assumed himself as the female elephant [in the

last verse], Amudhanaar sings in praise of YathirAja

as the male elephant and how it chases away those

other religious vaadhis effortlessly.

Our own possession- Sri Ramanujar is like a huge male

elephant; He shines so brightly and gracefully, with

beaming Anandham (bliss) of having enjoyed the Tamil

Veda Sri SaTaakopa's Thiruvaaymozhi; he holds the

Divine holy TridhaNdam in his hand. Oh Logicians

[those who argue mainly based on tharkka and are not

basing the arguments on Vedas]! All of you can not

even stand against Sri Ramanuja. He stands so

toweringly pushing you all to the sides with his

authoritative authenticated arguments. With the chain

of sishyas and their sishyas linked to Sri Ramanuja,

you have no chance to survive your wealth. The world

will now prosper.

 

vaadhiyargaaL- those who argue with dhurvaadham [wrong

arguments or un-saasthric arguing]

[Our Ramanuja]

Vezham- Strong majestic male elephant

paNtharu maaRan pasu thamizh- the rhyming, musical,

wonderful divine versesin chaste tamil

[Thiruvaaymozhi]

Anandham- with the bliss of enjoyment of the same [by

Ramanuja]

Paaymatham- manas, vaak and kaayam [Mind, speech and

action]- arising out of these Anandham from

Thiruvaaymozhi

viNdida- that flows from these and thereafter

[reinforced by]

meymmai kOnda vEdham- the Truthful Vedas [meaning- all

statements of Vedas are only True and nothing but

Truth]

kozhu dhaNdam yEndhi- holding the stick [tridhNadam]

that is the personification of above mentioned

truthful Vedas

kuvalayatthu maNdi vandhu yEnRadhu- walked all over

the earth successfully

ungaL vaazhvu aRRadhu- your matham is now lost. Your

survival is at stake.

 

Thiruvaaymozhi is nothing but Tamil Vedas. NammazhwAr

has blessed us with the divine Thiruvaymozhi verses

due to his compassion and grace. It provides us with

the inner meanings of the Vedas so that we attain

delight. It is in such lilting style and hence can be

even enjoyed singing and dancing. Since it is Vedas in

Tamil, the blissful enjoyment that comes and the

matham that arises out of this enjoyment is also

vaidika matham. As these verses are true reflection of

Vedas. Other mathams are propagating only distorted

Vedas or avaidika doctrines. They are false as they

propagate the falsehood of the jeevas, the world. They

say everything is an illusion. Everything is soonyam.

They are not permanent as it was started later unlike

the vaidika matham which has no beginning and Sriman

Narayanan is the first acharya [peethaka vaadai

piraanaar biramaguruvaagi vandhu]

Thus EmnperumAnar [idhu koNdu soothram vaakyam orunga

vittanar].

 

Our poorvacharyas have mentioned that Sri Bhashyakarar

established the sampradayam, with his greatest

unambiguous interpretation /commentaries on Vedas and

Vyasa's Brahma soothra. How could he alone get that

most accurate interpretation, while Sri Sankaracharya

and others could not? Because- he was blessed with the

Dravida (Tamil) Vedam- Naalyaayira Divya Prabhandham.

" idhu koNdu, Soothra vaakhyatthai orunga vittanar " -

says Sri Azhagiya Manavala PerumAL Nayanar in Acharya

Hrudhayam.. " idhu koNdu " - With the help of this

Greatest divine verse of AzhwArs, Sri Ramanuja, could

firmly establish the unparalleled Parama vaididka

visishtAdvaita sampradhayam with its proprietary

SarIra SarIri Bhavam.

 

What is the cause behind our AchAryA's achievement? No

doubt it is Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan's grace.

But.. the entire credit actually goes to our most

merciful, " vaLLal' Sri Nathamuni.. It is Emperumaan's

upakaram that He has bestowed His grace on us by

giving Sri Nathamuni to uplift us.

 

Thus Sri Ramanuja roared like a male elephant winning

successfully against these avaidika religions. He

walked with the thirdhaNdam across the country. The

three dhaNdas[three sticks tied together] are the

three Vedas. It can also mean bhEdha, abhEdha and

Ghatak sruthis that are tied together.
