Satish,

 

This small piece of information on Sage Durvasa i have already uploaded in the

form. But again for your clarity, i am reproducing it.

 

Sage Durvasa is an Avadhuta that roams about in the streets of Tiruvannamalai

and Kanchipuram to bless the Srividya Upasakas. Durvasa took incarnation in

this kaliyuga to bless his devotees as Sri Arunagiri Yogi and Muka Kavi.

 

The name “Durvasa” means “Alpavastradhari” or the “Sage who is scantily clad

in Kaupina”. Durvasa is a Maha Siddha Purusha.

 

This great sage has to his credit 3 works i) Aryadwishati (213 couplets in

arya metre) ii) Sridevi (shakti / tripura) Mahimnah Stavah iii) Parasambhu

Mahimnah Stavah. Sri Somanandanatha, a great Kashmir saivite, in his work “Siva

Drishti” refers Durvasa as the propagator or Kashmir Saiva Siddhanta.

 

Basically, Durvasa is from Tamil Nadu and his works shows his great influence

of Tamil Language. Had exceptional mastery over grammer. Specially, he uses

some of the words like “vira” and “charana” in different contexts. As per

durvasa, “Vira” indicate “smasana / graveyard” and “charana” is agni vachaka.

So, “parasivacharana” is taken as “chitbhairavagni” as per durvasa. “Vaarthali”

is the term coined by Durvasa which is derived from Tamil “Orutthu Ali” which is

a “Vira Nari”.

 

Sage Durvasa incarnated as Sri Arunagiri Yogi who is a Maha Siddha Purusha at

Tiruvannamalai. The original name of this siddha was Satyavasan. (Please refer

the Sloka No. 139 of Parasambhumahimnah Stavah “Durvasah Satyavasah Kanakagiri

raham…..”). Sri Arunagiri Yogi established the Siva Linga at the Arunachala

Hill and constructed a temple. Prior to Arunagiri Yogi, the Arunachala Hill,

itself, was being worshipped as the Arunachala Linga. He compiled the

“Kalpoktha Siva Puja” as per the “Kamika Agama” and established a code of

worship for Arunachaleshwara Linga which is followed till today by the

dikshitars.

 

One can see the Samadhi of this great yogi behind the Arunachaleshwar Linga at

the path of Giri Pradakshina. A small ashrama is also dedicated to this great

yogi called “Durvasa Ashrama”.

 

The Pujaris of Arunachaleshwara Linga while worshipping the Linga uses one of

the dhyana slokas daily. It is the dhyana sloka of Arunagairi Yogi.

 

" Lalate Traipundri – Nitalakruta Kasturi Tilakah

Sphuranmaalaadharah – sphurita kati kaupina vasanah

Dadhano dustaaram – Sirasi phaniraajam Sasikalaam

Pradipah Sarvesham – Arunagiri Yogi Vijayate " .

 

 

Bhagavan Ramana Maharishi used to warn the devotees while performing the giri

pradakshina. He used to warn the devotees not to approach a certain banyan tree

lest they should incur the wrath of this great yogi.

 

Sage Durvasa has to his credit compilation of Srividya Navavarana Kalpoktha

Srichakra Archana Paddhati which is called “Saubhagya Chintamani Kalpah”. The

srichakra archana paddhati prescribed in this Kalpa is followed till date at the

temple of Kamakshi Parabhattarika of Kanchipuram. He is also said to have

installed Srichakra in front of Kamakshi at Kanchipuram.

 

Some scholars are of the view that Sri Muka Sankara, the acharya of Kamakoti

Pita, who composed “Mukapanchashati” is also amsha-avatara of Durvasa.

 

With regards,

Sriram

So what shastra pramana do we have saying vArtAlI is a Tamil word?

Or that dUrvAsa coined it? Is dUrvAsa the R^iShi for vArAhI mantra-s?

Please note that there is nothing I gain or lose if it is indeed a

Tamil word.

 

As for dUrvAsa taking birth as various other saints, I have nothing

to say. People are free to belive whatever they want. FYI I can

beleive that I am dattatreya manifest. just joking.

 

Or how do we understand the shloka tAdr^ishaM khaDgamApnoti.. in the

khadga mAlA stava if khadga is praise.

 

I for one would like to see what(i.e. names of works - not statements

like Bharathi tirtha or some body else said it) shastra pramana-s

exist rather than just hearing there are pramana-s. It will help us

understand better. |That is all

 

Again, it is just that some things are not convincing enough. If some

of teh stuff that you say is true, so be it. All is good.

Satish,

 

The phalasruti is just another incorporation that has been composed by a

person like you and me. My guru never taught me the phalasruti. Morever, in the

original manuscripts of Sivanandanatha, these phalasrutis are not available.

Please note that there are 15 prastharaas of this maala mantra and each is

related to the nithi nitya devata. And the coinage for Khadgamaala is Sakthi

Maala. The word khadga is taken from Trilinga Bhasha.

 

Durvasa is a legendary figrue of Tamil Nadu with the name Arunagiri Yogi who

existed in 2nd century AD. When you say that Sripada Vallabha, Nrisimha

Saraswathi, Akkalkot Maharaj, Saibaba of Shirdi, Narayan Maharaj of Pune,

Gajanan Maharaj of Shegaon, Nityananda of Ganeshpuri were all incarnations of

Sage Dattatreya, what is wrong in believing Arunagiri Yogi, Mukakavi being the

incarnation of Sage Durvasa for which ample evidence and pramana is there.

Again above is just an opinion. How can we be sure of this?

How do we know these are teh original manuscripts?

How do we know this?

What are the references for khaDga in Telugu meaning praise?

Assuming that khaDga in telugu means praise, how are we sure that it

is adapted from telugu? Who surmised that it was adapeted from Telugu

and what are the reasons that led them to conclude so?

He is teh brother of dattAtreya according to paurANic sources and

they were located somewhere in the North and not South.
