Guest guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Dear BhakthAs of Swamy NammAzhwAr : Sixth CheyyuL : Introduction ************************************ In this verse , KambhanAttAzhwAr sings about the vaibhavam of SaThakOpar's ThiruvAimozhi Paasurams as echoing the authentic , esoteric meanings of Upanishads , while adhering strictly to the rules of superior Tamizh grammar and poetry . Text of the Sixth SeyyuL ********************************* tOnRA upanidatap-poruL tOnRaluRRAr tamakkum sAnRAm ivai yenRapOthu maRRen ? palakAlum tammin mUnRAyinavum ninanthAraNatthin mummai Tamizhai yeenRAn KuruhaippirAn EmpirAnRan isaik-kaviyE General Meaning and comments : ******************************************* KuruhaippirAn EmpirAn isaik-kavi yeenRAn= The great one , who incarnated in ThirukkurhUr gave birth to ThiruvAimozhi filled with isai and ilakkaNam( grammar). tammin mUnRAyinavum pala kAlum ninaivuRRu AaraNatthin mummai Tamizhai KuruhaippirAn EmperumAn YeenRAn= SaThakOpar , the Prapanna jana santAna kUDastar , remembered the tripartite ( trayi) nature of the VedAs many times and gave birth to the paasurams in the form of Tamil Veda mantrams , which housed the essence of the three Sanskrit VedAs ( Rg , Yajur and Saama). Vedam is three fold. Modelled after that , SaThakOpar gave birth to " Mummai Tamizh". Mummai stands for many triads : AbhEdha , Gataka, BhEda Srutis Adhvaitam , dhvaitam , VisishtAdhvaitam Saantikam , Poushtikam , AabhichArakam Iyal. Isai ,Naatakam Tattvam , hitam , PurushArtham chith , achith , Iswaran Karma, Bhakti , JN~Ana yOgams Just as GaDaka sruti resolved the conflicts between BhEdha and abhEdha srutis , the paasurams of SaThakOpar born out of His Jn~Ana garbham brought out the true meanings of Veda Mantrams in scholarly Tamizh without contradicting each other. ivai tOnRA upanidatap-poruL tOnralluRRar tamakkum sAnRum yenRa pOthu maRRenRin ? ivai yeenRAn =the paasurams were created by the AzhwAr in this manner remembering the triumvirate aspect of the VedAs .YeenRAn means gave birth . These Paasurams were concieved , nourished in the Jn~Ana garbham of SaThakOpar and delivered for our benefit . tOnRA upaniDatap-poruL = that which does not reveal itself easily (Viz); the meanings of the upanishads tOnRaluRRAr tamakkum sAnRum= The Paasurams of SaThakOpar become validating sources for those , who wished to assure themselves about " the correct meanings" given to them by others . This passage in other words means that AzhwAr's paasurams are very helpful to understand the authentic meanings of difficult to know Upanishad mantrams . SaanRu means saakshi ( about their authenticity). Swamy NammAzhwAr ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam , DhAsan , Oppiliappan Koil V. Sadagopan .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
