SRIVAISHNAVISM

From the Desk of Dr.Sadagopan.

|| Thirumazhisai AzhwAr Thirunakshathram: Thai Maham ||

Today is Thai Maham . Thirumazhisai AzhwAr was born on this day. He sanctified Poora Nakshthram of Thai month just as ANDAL made Aadi Pooram a day of greatness thru her avathAram .

Thirumazhisai AzhwAr is also known as BhakthisArar or a person known for representing the quintessence of Bhakthi to Sriman NaarAyaNa .

He is one of the toughest AzhwArs in the sense that he can be combative and uncompromizing . He will challenge Lord Siva , the King of Kanchi and the Vedic Scholars , if they questioned about the Parathvam of Sriman NaarAyaNA . His prapatthi to our Lord and his mahA viswasam has few parallels .

He can also be called a Research Scholar. He studied & rejected different philosophical systems and religions based on them such as Buddhism , NyAyA , VaisEshikA , SaamkhyA , paatanjala and KaapAlikA. Finally , he became an accomplished Siddhar worshipping Lord SivA . Pey AzhwAr intervened and helped BhakthisArA accept Sri VaishNavism and the supermacy of Sriman NaarAyaNA . Once he was won over in the debate that established the supermacy of ( parathvam of ) Sriman NaarAyaNA , he rejected all the other mathams as Saara Heenam ( devoid of substance ) and became a Parama VaishNavA . He became the leading exponent of Sri VaishnNavite theosophy . He is the first AzhwAr to refer to PaancharAthra Aagamam and VyuhA principles embedded in there .

Thirumazhisai AzhwAr is considered as an "integral seer" in whom all the search for knowledge got transformed into the essence of devotion (bhakthi Saaram) that led to the divine vision at the end and a clear understanding of the Bhagavadh SvarUpa VisEsham . He combined in his vision of Sriman NaarAyaNA the parajn~Ana ( transcendental knowledge ) that Poygai stood for , para bhakthi ( transcendental devotion ) that BhothatthAzhwar represented and the parama bhakthi ( supreme devotion ) that his AchAryA , Pey was noted for . He proved with conviction and authority that Sriman NaarAyaNA is the unalterable truth behind " the primal and ultimate causality of all the Worlds " . In both his prabhandhams , Naanmukan ThiruvantdAthi (NT ) and Thirucchandaviruttham ( TCV ) , he emphasized that Sriman NaarAyaNA as the one and only ultimate cause and that ALONE is the path ( panthA ) , the goal (upEyam) and the means ( upAyam ) for Moksham .

Naanmukan ThiruvandhAthi : This Prabhandham is the first of the two compositions of Thirumazhisai. It establishes unambiguosly the supremacy ( parathvam ) of Sriman NaarAyaNA . There are 96 paasurams in NT . It follows the andhAthi style of the mudal AzhwArs . The first ten paasurams deal with the Parathvam of our Lord . Then come paasurams that establish what is parama hitham (viz)., the seeking of the saraNyan's lotus feet as the sole refuge to gain moksha siddhi . Using very

7

assertive and unambiguous language , he instructs us about the way for our sure salvation . These paasurams are followed by salutations to VibhavAvathArams such as NarasimhA , RaamA , KrishNA and lead to moving paasurams on ArchA mUrhtys of divya desams like ThiruvEnkatam , Srirangam , Thirukkudanthai , ThiruvehhA , ThiruveLLUr , ThiruppEr , Anbil and ThiruvallikkENi . His dozen paasurams on SrinivAsan (Thiruviruntha Maarban) of Vada Venkatam are beautiful to reflect upon. In one of those paasurams , he plays the game of kUdal ( paasuram 39 of NT) and showed the way for ANDAL to play that game in NaacchiyAr Thirumozhi (NTM ) later . In this paasuram , he longs for his darsanam of ThiruvEnkatamudayAn and checks on the insight provided by the Kudal game . In this game , one takes a handful of sOzhi and sorts them by pairs . If one ends up with a pair , the wish will come true. If one is left with one sOzhi at the end of pairing the bunch , then one's desire will not be fulfilled . AzhwAr says that he is looking for divine indications giving the hint of good news regarding the longed-for visit to THiruvEnkatam to have the darsanam of his Lord , SrinivAsan . At the end of the twelve Paasurams on ThiruvenkatatthAn , Azhwar celebrates the dvAdasa nAmAs of the Lord ( Upavyuha mUrhtys ) . There is a compelling logic to the flow of his bhakthi outpourings .

The twentieth verse of NT is a moving paasuram, where the AzhwAr celebrates the SarvAntharyAmithvam of Sriman NaarAyaNA in the spirit of VedAs and Upanishads. Such a celebration based on Vedic truths is not surprising , since AzhwAr is also a great Vedic scholar . In the twentieth verse he celebrates Sriman NaarAyaNA as the inner power of all chEthams , achEthanams , Brahma dEvan and his son SivA ,Agni , Suryan , Chandran and every entity in Your creation :

neeyE ulahellAm ninnaruLE niRpanavum neeyE tavatthEva dEvanum --neeyE yerisudarum maalvarayum yeNNdisayum aNdatthu irusudarum aaya ivai

( ulahu = achEthanam ; niRpana = chEthanams ; tavatthEvan = the one who performs tapas , MahEsvaran ; dEvan= Brhama dEvan ; yeri sudar = burning Agni; maal varai = eighth towering kula parvathams ; yeNNdisai= eight directions ; andatthu irusudar= the Sun and the Moon shining in the AkAsam ; aaya ivai neeyE = You are the One in all these forms ). "sa Brhama: sEndra: sOkshara: parama svarAt" and the other Veda Manthrams cited below are the base for his paasuram :

1. God ( Sriman NaarAyaNA ) alone is one , though known as Agni , king VaruNA MitrA , Aryaman and amsA ( TvamagnE RaajA VaruNO ---Rig Vedam II.1.4)

2. God ( Sriman NaarAyaNA ) is also known as Agni , Rudra, Maha:, PushaN ( TvamgnE RudRo --Rig Vedam II.1. 6)

3. God is Agni , DravinOdA ( wealth giver ) , DevA , savithA , RathnadhA ( the treasurehous of gems ) . BhagA ( the effulgent ) , and BNrupathi ( the king of Men ) / Rig Vedam II.1.7

4. He alone is Agni ( yerisudar ) , the same He is Aditya , and Moon (andatthu Irusudar of Thirumazhisai) and He is the same one known as Vaayu . (Indram Mithram ( Yajur Vedam XXXII.1)

5. He is the one , though seers call Him with various names such as IndrA , MithRa , VaruNA , Agni , DivyA , SuparNA , GaruthmAn , Yama and Matarisvan ( -- Yekam sadh viprA: bahudhA vadanthi --Rig Vedam I.164.46)

6. He creates the Universe ( DhyAvA Prithvee ) and the Universe assumes His form ( Rig Vedam X. 110.9)

7. He weaves the entire Universe through His divine thread (tantu ) of Unified Law ( Atharva Vedam : XIII.1.6)

8. The entire Universe is sustained by the great principle ( mahi praNithi ) and protected by undecaying devices of protection ( uthi ) / Rig Vedam : VI.45.3-- maheerasya praNeethaya: pUrvOrutha prasasthaya: , naasya Ksheeyantha uthaya:

9. The entire Skhambha SookthA of Atharva Vedam ( X.7.35 onwards ) salutes the cosmic creation by the Lord and His divine laws that sustain it in a marvelous manner .

Thirumazhisai in His Naanmukhan ThiruvandhAthi celebrates Sriman NaarAyaNA as the " final reality " , the Ucchishta Brahmam and sarva sEshi . He is the only existing reality at the time of MahA PraLayam and sustains

8

everything in his stomach and releases them again for another cycle of YugAs for His sport . He is the sustainer of the entire creation consisting of name and form ( UchcishtE naama rUpam chOcchishtE loka aahitha: ucchishtE dhyAvaa prithvee visvam bhUtham samAhitham , aapa: samudhra: ucchishtE chnadramA vAtha aahitha: -- Atharva Vedam XI.7.1&2 )

In the 26 th paasuram , he reminds Sriman NaarAyanan that Lord SivA is the witness for his vow that he will not worship anyone other than Sriman NaarAyaNan . This is a beautiful paasuram , where he begs the Lord to bless him to have avyapachAra bhakthi to Him alone . The second half of this paasuram is very reminiscent of the declaration of ANDAL yerraikkum yEzhEzh piravikkum --- and maRRai nam kaamangaL maaRRElOrempAvAi ) :

yeRRaikkum kandukoL kandAi kadal vaNNA yaanunnai kandukoLkiRkumARu

yAnn = myself with no other desire or anticipation of any other fruits, yeRRaikkum = for all times to come , unnai kandu koLkiRkkum AaRu kandu koLL = please bless me the means to be with You alone and worship You alone .

In the thirtieth verse , AzhwAr emphasizes his mahA viswAsam in the Lord"s Rakshakathvam( apadh Bhaandhavan and anAtha rakshakan ) :

avan Yennai AaLi arangattharangil AVAN YENNAI YEYTHAMAR KAAPAAN --avan yennathu uLLatthu ninRAn IrundhAn kidakkumE veLLattharavaNain mEl

avan= the Lord I described below (in the earlier paasurams) Yennai AaLi = He is my ruling Sarva SvAmi arangam tarangil yennai yeythAmal AVAN KAAPAAN = He will not dispatch me to the sharp end of the spear feared as SamsAram . He will save me from this terror and suffering. He is sititng , standing and resting in my mind . I doubt now very much that he will revert to His old bed of Adhi Seshan at His home in the milky ocean after enjoying the comfort of residence in my mind.

In his fourth paasuram , Thirumazhisai had saluted Sriman NaarAyaNA as Sarva Vaachaka sabdhan . He points out that there is no match for him in this attribute :

--- vERoruvar illAmai ninRaanai yemmAnai yepporutkkum sollAnai SonnEn tohutthu

vEroruvar illaamai ninRAnai = One who stood in all yugAs and KalpAs as the matchless one ( tannoppArilappan )

YemmAnai = of my Lord

yepporutkkum sollAnai = as the object of connotation of every word and being the subject of all predicates ( sarva vAchaka Sabdhanai , Sriman NaarAyaNanai )

SonnEn Thohutthu = I described in a cohesive manner .

He talks about the relationship that he has with the Lord in a most moving way in paasuram 7 , which reminds us of ANDAL's declaration "KuRaivonrumillA GovindhA , UnRannOdravEl namakkingkozhikkavozhiyAthu":

inRAha nALayEyAha inicchirithu ninRAha ninnaruL yenpAlathE --nanRaaha naanunaai anRiyilEn kaNdAi NaaraNanE neeyennaiyanriyilai

(Meaning): Oh NaaRayaNA ! I may become the object of Your krupA today or it may happen tomorrow or it may happen even after that passage of time. It does not matter. I know that Your special Krupai belongs to me . I do not

9

exist without You and neither do You exist without me. " Unnai anri naan ilEn; yennai inri nee ilai " . What a powerful and penetrating statement on the relationship that he had with Sriman NaarAyaNA !

He celebrates the precious Lord and explains to us His supreme status in the 13th paasuram of NT :

--- -------------------------------------veedAkkum meypoRuL thaan vEda mudaRporuL thaan viNNavarkku naRporul thaan NaarAyaNan

AzhwAr asks us to pay attention and describes to us who this Sriman NaarAyaNan is ! He qualifies his Lord in three ways: (1) veedAkkum meyporuL = the siddha purushan , who grants us Moksham (2) vEdam mudalp poruL = the one who is understood by the VEdAs ( vEda vEda vEdhyan ) and eulogized by them as Sarva vAchaka Sabdhan (3) viNNavarkku naRpporuL= the parama prApya svarUpan for the dEvAs , mukthAs and the nithya sUris .

The seventeenth paasuram is another beautiful one that describes the parathvam of Sriman NaarAyaNan . Here , he describes the relationship between DakshinAmUrthy ( Lord SivA sitting under the pupil tree and explaining sakala--sAsthrArthams with His silence to the four rishis , Dakshar , Agasthyar , Pulasthyar and MaarkanDeyar ) and Sriman NaarAyaNan .

The picture of " DaakshiNya RamyA Girisasya Murthy " ( DakshiNamUrthy Sivan ) sitting under the shadow of a pupil tree in a previous yugam and instructing the four Rishis is a beautiful one . AzhwAr describes as to what that silent instruction on dharma maargam (aRa neRi) was all about . AzhwAr states that Lord DakshiNAmUrthy made the rishis aware of the method of His worship of Sriman NaarAyaNan as Trivikraman ( gyAlam aLanthAnai ) , KsheerAbdhi Saayee ( Aazhi kidanthAnai ) and as Vatapathra Saayee ( Aal mEl vaLarndhAnai ) . AzhwAr points out that Lord DakshiNAmUrthy performed upadEsam on the way in which he worshipped His Lord , Sriman NaarAyaNan (thAnn vaNangum aaRu uraitthAn):

Aala nizhark keezh aRa neRiyai naalvarkku mElai yuhatthu uraitthAn meytavatthOn--gyAlam aLanthAnai Aazhik kidanthAnai Aal mEl vaLarnthAnait thAn vaNangum AaRu

In his 19th paasuram , the AzhwAr asks in wonderment , " O Lord with the Sudarsana Chakram in Your Hand ! Aren't You the One who protects us with joy for performing SaraNAgathi unto You ! Are N't You the One , who blesses every JeevarAsi with the boon of residence in Sri Vaikuntam when they seek the shelter of Your sacred feet ?

-- AazhiyAi --uvanthE Yemmaik kAppAi nee , kaapathanai AavAi nee Vaikuntham YeepAyum yevvuyirkkum nee anRO ?

In the thirty second paasuram , the AzhwAr connects the RaamAyaNa , Bhaaratha IthihAsams and Saadhvika PurANams such as Bhaagavatham to the Lord wiht the statement "kathaip poruL thAnn KaNNan ThiruvayiRRnuLLE". AzhwAr reveals to us that all " the Kathais " and their meanings and the the universes that get created , protected and destroyed in every yugam are inside the Vatapathra Saayee's tiny stomach . We had some discussion recently about the fact or fiction aspects of IhtihAsams and PurANams . For our AzhwAr , these questions do not arise . He suggests that these are real as the Lord Himself , since He holds them in His stomach during the mahA praLayam and denying them will be tantamount to denying Him .

AzhwAr's comparison of himself as being more fortunate than Sriman NarAyaNA Himself is contained in Paasuram 51:

yenakkArAvar oruvarE EmperumAn tanakkAvan thAnE marallAl --punakkAya VaNNanE ! unnaip piRaRiyAr yenn mathikku ViNNellAm UndO Vilai ?

( Meaning ) : For me, who has no interest in the fruit of my karmAs , there is only One , which is everything . VaasudEva: sarvam ) . That is Sriman NaarAyaNan , who has no equal . Those who are focused on fruits of their

10

karmAs would not understand Your mahimai as Visvapathi and AathmEsvaran ( pathim VisvasyAthmEsvaram) . For my mind , which has gone after You and got affixed on Your Lotus feet , there is no price that matches its value ; yes , not even the value of the objects of Svargam will become equal to it .

He describes the pitiable state of the men and women , who do not understand the mahimai of our compassionate Lord in his 52nd paasuram :

" Evil ones become slaves for money ; collecting sins through receiving gifts and and experience those sins . They walk as human sacrificial animals in exchange for (another's) head . Such ignorant ones not engaging in the salutation to the Lord ( VenkaTan-0ne who destroys sins) will multiply their sins ( katams ). They eat the sins as fruits and sink in the soft sand of ajn~Anam " .

Being a Parama KaaruNika Azchaaryan , Thirumazhisai does not stop with his condemnation of the ones , who have strayed , but he points them out the way to attain salvation through his upadEsam contained in Verse eleven :

" Let thy mouth praise , let thy eyes adore , let thy ears hear nAma sankeerthanam about Him . Do thou offer fragrant and fresh flowers after prostrating to Him in reverence and let thy hands be united in anjali mudrA to Him and let thy ever-wavering mind stay fixed on the Lord wearing the fragrant Tulasi garland and high crown , who is attached to me from the beginningless time " .

In the 61st verse , he repeats this upadEsam and assures the doubters that no anguish will cross the mental threshold of one , who accepts Lord MadhusUdhanA as sole refuge , for Madhusudana-NaarAyaNan is man's wealth of every kind .

In the 56th verse , he points out the greatness (saulabhyam and souseelyam ) of Sriman NaarAyaNA : " avar ivar yenrillai anangavEL ThAthikku yevarum yethirillai kandeer ! " . Here the AzhwAr states that for the Lord , there is no vaishmyam that this one is little and the other one is big . He is sarva sulabhan for His BhakthAs . Those , who resist Him and engage in enimity perish like fire fly in the fire and they do not last out . Because of these unique attributes , there is none , who can match Him in KalyAna guNAs .

The AzhwAr tells us that he practises , what he " preaches " and explains to us as to how he spends his time in paasuram 63:

unnai teritthu yezhuthi vAsitthum kEttum vaNangi vazhipattum poositthum pOkkinEn pOthu

(Meaning): I spend my time on Your earth to comprehend correctly Your svarUpa VisEsham , anantha KalyANa guNams, writing about them , listening to others speaking about them , performing aarAdhanam and kaimkaryams to You . I have made devotion to You my sole vocation .

AzhwAr confesses how blessed he has been to sing about Sriman NaarAyaNA and perform nAma japam in the 69th verse :

sevikku inbamAvathuvum SenkaNNmAl nAmam bhuvikkim bhuviyathuvE kandeer -- kavikku niRaiporuLAi ninRAnai nErpattEn , paarkkil maRaip poruLm atthanyE

(Meaning): What is amrutham for the ear are the Lord's names . For the denizens of this earth , it is also their protection ( Taaraka pOshaka nAmam ) . I have been blessed to use as lakshyam for my paasurams such a Lord , who is the supreme Brahamam ., On deep reflection I comprehend Him as the hidden and profound meaning of the ancient vEdAs , which sing about His svarUpa rUpa guNa vibhavams .

After making Sriman NaarAyaNan the subject of his paasurams , AzhwAr states categorically that he will never ever sing about any human being ( Naakkondu maanidam paadEn ) and his poetry will be only on Sri VaikuntanAthan ( Vaikunthac chelvanAr sEvadi mEl paatu ) .

11

In the next ( 76th ) paasuram , AzhwAr reveals that the paasurams of mudal AzhwArs ( Paattum ) , the paancharAthra- vaikAnasa aagamAs (murayum ) the IthihAsa purANAs ( padu kathayum ) , the meanings of vEdAs ( sruthi maRai naankum ) , Manu smrithis (kEtta Manuvum ) , the samashti tEjas ( eettiya theeyum ) , the broad sky ( iru visumbum ) and every thing is a direct product of the Lord's mysterious and wonderous power .

In the 81st paasuram he thanks the Lord for his anugraham that resulted in the birth of his Tamil prabhandhams this way :

vidhai aaha naRRamizhai vitthi yenn uLLatthai nee viLaitthAi kaRRa mozhiyAhak kalanthu

( meaning ) : You made my heart the field for the cultivation of the Bhakthi crop by planting the seed of glorious Tamizh mozhi and making what I had learned about Your kalyANa guNams as the kernel inside those seeds and entered my mind and produced this rich crop . ( He refers to the importance of the mind since it is the sole factor in people sinking in samsAram or getting out of it and gaining mOksham -- mana yEva manushyANAm kAraNam bhandha MokshayO : " ) .

AzhwAr talks further to his mind and tells it that the shADguNya ParipUrNa prabhu , the SaraNyan , ever exists in the mind of those , who meditate on Him wiht devotion . He becomes visible to these ardent devotees and asks his mind to reflect on it ( uLLuvAr uLLatthu uLan kanDAi -- tannappan thAnAi uLan ) .

In the 88th paasuram , AzhwAr celebrates such blessed souls , who are able to experience the Lord through their dhyAna samAdhi . He states that those lives are well-lived lives ( seyal theerac chintthitthu vAzhvArE vAzhvAr ) .

In the 89th paasuram , AzhwAr salutes such blessed bhagavathOtthamAs and states aasrayaNam of them will immerse one in brahmAnandham and let them even reject parama padham .

As for himself , he declares that he has never forgotten the Lord (dhruva smruthi) starting from his time of conception as a pindam and the Lord's protection of him . He adds : " Ninrum irundhum yenrum maRanthu aRiyEN " . Whether he was standing , sititing , he never forgot about the Lord as his protector

In the final ( 96th ) paasuram , AzhwAr sums up what he has learnt from his deliberations and research and what he has etched in his mind:

ini aRinthEn Isarkkum Naanmuharkkum Dhaivam ini aRinthEn EmperumAn Unnai --ini aRinthEn KaaraNan nee kaRRavai nee naRkkirisai NAARANAN NEE nankaRinthEn naan

( Meaning ) : My sarva Swami ! YajamAnA ! PrabhO ! VibhO ! I have now understood You as the Lord of BrahmA and SivA . I have comprehended You as the kaaraNam for their activities . Whatever I have learned sofar is only YOU . Whatever I am going to learn from now on is going to be YOU. O Lord of auspicious actions ! O NaarAyaNA ! All of this , I have comprehended fully .

AzhwAr , who was born on Thai Maham proved the Parathvam of Sriman NaarAyaNA and declared in the words of Swami Desikan: " dhaivam maRRilllai yena uraitthA vEdac Chezum porUL Naanmuhan thoNNRaaRRUp paattu " . This conclusion was arrived at by " Mazhisaip pirAn " through a rigorous examination of many religions & Gods ( samayangaL pala terinthu MayOnallAL dhaivam maRRIllai yena uraitthAn ) and rejecting all of them in favor of the only Dhaivam , Sriman NaarAyaNan, the Aadhi dhaivam and sarva KaaraNa bhUthan .

SRIVAISHNAVISM

DHARMA STHOTHRAM

Part 212.

Satru-ghnah, Vyaaptah These lines from a book which I read once attracted me and so reproducing in this. Sriman Narayana is intangible, avyakta (unmanifest), adrishta (unseen) agochara (imperceptible). goodhah (hidden) and Eko devah sarva bhuteshu goodhah ( hidden in all beings) sukshma-atisukshma (subtler than the subtlest), avangmanogochara (not known by the senses or the mind). Yato vacho nivartante aprapya manasa saha (source of all speech along with the mind,

turn back, not reaching it). He is beyond human thought and speech. We are able to think in terms of His namas and forms only with our limited capacity. We can only think in terms of time and space, names and forms, here and there, this and that, and not of the Transcendental. It is here that the great science of the practice of the Divine Name comes as an answer to this great problem, this barrier between the known and the unknown, the finite and the Infinite, the manifest and the unmanifest, the individual and the Universal.. The Divine Name is such a link. It is like a boatman who ferries and touches both banks of the river. It has the advantage that likes a ferryman; it can take us from this bank of finite consciousness to the other bank of Infinite, Universal Consciousness. The Namas has such a great advantage. Sriman Narayana and His Namas are identical. The Name of Sriman Narayana is the only refuge in this Iron

34

Age. Repetition of the Divine Name is only a revival of an ancient method. Therefore, with every breath we utter the names of sriman Narayana. Take to this unfailing sure paththe path of the Divine Name. In this Kali Yuga it is supreme. It is the least complicated most efficacious

and simple method. Hence Nama Sankeerthanam is ever good .Now on Dharma Sthothram.

In 412nd nama . Satru-ghnah it is meant as the destroyer off he enemies. .Sriman Narayana is the one who utterly destroy all the enemies of the gods. He is the one who ruin all the negative tendencies in all truly serious seekers who are totally devoted to Him. He controls the senses of His devotees meditating on Him. Andal in Thiruppavai quotes this aspect in 3 pasurams. In 15th pasuram as Vallanai kondranai, Andal says about He is one who killed Kuvalayapeedam elephant and He has the capacity to kill the enemies. In 21st pasuram Matrar unakku vali tholainthu as all His enemies losing their strength to fight with Him and so surrendering before Him. In 24th pasuram vendru pagai kedukkum nin kaiyoil vale potri ,indicating He conquers all the enemies with velayutham in His hands. In Periazhwar Thirumozhi 4th decad .8th thirumozhi . 5,6, and 7 pasurams on Srirangam temple it is informed as Ravananai uru arangapporuthu, Asurargalaik kizhangirunthu, asurargalaip pinam padutha peumal. Ravanas ten heads being removed with chakrayutham ,all asuras being killed in the beginning as they caused disturbances is well indicated. In Auditya Hrudayam ,20th sloka Thamognaya Himaghnaaya shatrughnaaya we make salutations to Him as He is dispeller of darkness which is indicating our ignorance and He is one who drives away all the fear and destroyer of enemies. Here, the mind is compared to Ravana and ten indriyas to his ten heads . Hence this nama satrughnah may be taken as real enemies as both demons or rakshasas and our mental weakness, our ignorance and even arrogance. In 413rd nama Vyaaptah,it is meant as The Pervader. There is a cause for everything. The effects can never remain without the Cause. Always the Cause has concurrent and inherent effects. We observe the world has risen from the Infinite, and it should be pervaded by the Infinite. Sriman Narayana is one who pervades everything .As indicated in the beginning, Sriman Narayana has widespread concern for all without disparity .He is One who as the cause and pervades all the effects .Apart from this His equal treatment among young old, friend enemy servant master equally with kindness is unique.. In Srimad Ramayanam it is seen that sri Rama makes full and kind enquiries of all his subjects as though they are his kinsfolk in their respective order regarding their sons sacrificial fires wives servants and disciples even as a father would of his own sons. When Sri Rama returns to Ayodhya from Lanka, He pays encomiums to His attendants even before his guru vasishta. He declares I won the battle only with the help of my attendants. . Similar to Bagavad Geetha teaching by Sri Krishna as maa sucha , Sri Rama went to the extent of saying that He would give sanctuary even to Ravana ,if he surrendered. Thus we find Sriman Narayana in all incarnations proved that he is supreme personality of greatest moral power and pervades in everything. In Nammazhwars Thiruvaimozhi 5.1.7, it is said as Sriman Narayana in Paramapadam, a place which we cannot easily ascertain Him. His fame cannot be imagined by any jeevathmas . But his pious grace is pervading all including sinners. He shows no difference and it is sure to get His blessings uniformly. Hence he is called as vyaaptah .

Sri Rangam kaatu Azhagiya Singar

In this pasuram Nachiar describes Perumals stride when He walks. The description reminds us about the stride of

Lord Ranganathan of Sri Rangam Divya Desam. Lord Ranganathan is known for His chatur gathi. As He comes out

of the inner sanctum, His stride is like that of a lion. A lion always looks at either side of the cave to check for hidden

enemies or animals which the lion is ready to pounce on; similarly Lord Ranganathan looks towards either side of the

sanctum as He leaves the sanctum in search for our enemies whom the Lord is ever ready to destroy. The Lord then

walks majestically with pride like a bull and an elephant while He makes His rounds around the streets next to the

temple. His stride resembles that of a snake as He walks through the crowd and also when He quickly enters the

inner sanctum upon returning back to the Temple. A snake always enters its hole quickly.

Please see following YouTube links to enjoy Lord Ranganathans stride.

Perumal is compared to a hibernating lion that sleeps inside a cave with its lioness. Nachiar uses the words maari

malai muzhainchil manni(k) kidandhu uRangum to show that Perumal resembles a lion which is hibernating inside a

42

mountain cave during the rainy season. The lion looks like a statue because it is sound asleep. The fact that the lion

is sleeping well is an indication to the fact that it is in the company of its lioness. According to the Upanishads, food is

considered to be good only when shared with others, charity is considered to be a good donation only when donation

is made to Vedic Brahmins and sleep is good only when in the company of legal wife. In the 19th pasuram it was

shown that Perumal was in the company of Piratti.

Piratti along with the girls compare Perumal to an alpha lion which is the king of the beasts. They said that, please

come out and meet us. After you get-up, stretch like a lion and as soon as you open your eyes, we want them to spit

fire like the sparkle in a lions eyes which is capable of killing its prey!

Why would you want my eyes to spit fire? asked Perumal.

We want the fire from your eyes to destroy our sins.

The majesty with which a lion leaves its den is captured in this pasuram. The lion shakes its mane and stretches itself

before walking outside. It then surveys the surroundings for its enemies and prey. The odour from the lions mane is

sweet smelling to the lioness. Similarly the girls ask Perumal to come outside like a lion so that they can smell the

fragrance from His locks.

A manthram called Mriga Manthram is chanted to chase ones sins. Sins are compared to animals mrigam.

Therefore Nachiar has chosen to compare Perumal with a lion which hunts other animals. This pasuram also reminds

us about Perumals Narasimha Avataram.

Look at our sins with fire in your eyes but look at us with soft look that reflects the softness of a flower like the

fragrant kayam pu

This once again reminds us about Narasimha Avataram as He killed Hiranyakashipu with His nails but stroked

Thayars cheek with His nail out of love. Thus to His devotees He shows His soft nature while to their sins which are

their foremost amongst enemies He shows His fiery side. Swami Ramanujar presented his 74 simhasanadhipadis

43

with an idol of Lakshmi Narasimhan. Swami Nadadoor Ammals thirunamam is Narasimhan and Swami incarnated on

the day of Narasimha Jayanthi. Swami Nadadoor Ammal instructed the 1st Azhagiya Singar of Ahobila Mutt with the

sacred Narasimha manthram. Thus Narasimha Avataram is given great significance in the Sri Vaishnava

sampradayam.

Perumal said, okay, everyone please come inside.

We want you to come outside so that we can see your handsome stride which resembles that of a lion which leaves

its cave after hibernating. We dont want you to listen to our request from your bed chamber; you should come to us

and lead us to your Court Room, take your seat on your majestic throne and then grant us our request after analyzing

our requests with due process.

Alternate Meaning:

An Acharyan sleeps inside the Upanishadic cave in Bagawad Anubhavam. Like a lion, Acharyans are natural leaders

even when they were children. They roar like a lion to defeat people who spread Anti-Vedic thoughts in debates while

to their disciples they exhibit their kind nature while instructing them. This pasuram can also be seen from the point of

view of a disciple requesting an Acharyan to provide instructions.

SRIVAISHNAVISM

A BIRDS EYE VIEW ON THE LAWS

OF MANU Mrs.LATHA SREEDHAR, M.A, M.Phil.

Lecturer, Department of Sanskrit,

Srimad Andavan Arts & Science College,

N0.7, Nelson Road, T.V.koil, Trichy-5.

Manusmrti is a treatise on Dharma. It is the first law book of its type in the world. As the word law was

defined as common sense codified so can Dharma be defined as commonly accepted and practiced norms of

social conduct. Law is a word covering the widest range. When we say The laws of gravitation then we

certainly do not mean judicial laws Civil or Criminal. The Sun, Moon and Stars shine on the firmament. The

planets make circumambulation around the solar orbit. The days and nights come turn by turn. The rivers flow,

the wind blows; the vegetation grows; the living beings take their birth and die. It all takes place within a certain

law. The day must be followed by night, the summer by rains and the rains by winter. This is bound to happen so

because it is Universal Law.

In Sanskrit the right term for such law is ta. Then it all happens according to the very nature of these

natural objects. So it is their Dharma to behave like that. So, at this level ta, Dharma and Law are synonymous

to one another. As a matter of fact, this is a treatise or discourse on Dharma but since the word Dharma has

many connotations, it (Dharma) in conjunction with Sastra has a determinate meaning which comprises the

duties or obligations of man and the standard of his conduct as an ideal member of human society at a certain

stage of his community. The Vedas, Vedic Smrtis, and the qualities of the knower of Vedas, the conduct of pious

ones and at the close the self satisfaction these are the sources from which Dharma emanates.

A work of encyclopedic scope, the Mnavadharmastra or Manusmrti , consists of 2,685 verses on topics as

apparently varied but actually intimately interrelated in Hindu thought as the social obligations and duties of the

various castes and of individuals in different stages of life; the proper way for righteous king to rule, and to punish

transgressors in his kingdom; the appropriate social relations between men and women of different castes, and of

husbands and wives in the privacy of the home; birth, death, and taxes ; cosmogony , karma , and rebirth; ritual

practices ; error and restoration or redemption; and such details of everyday life as the procedure for settling traffic

accidents, etc., and determines the duties of the ruler and the ruled. Manusmrti is different and unique in one

respect from the other smrtis because it is giving a good description of the creation of the Universe.

In the beginning of Yagjnavalkya Smrti, we find reference to the available number of smrtis as follows.

,

,

45

As puranas, we have Sattvika, Rajasa and Tamasa Smrtis also. A sizable number of Smrtis is still available

and a great number of authors are mentioned in different smrti books. The entire smrti literature is

supposedly based on Srutis, where Smrti goes against the Srutis, it must be discarded. Similarly, if any smrti

contradicts Manu, it should be treated as unauthentic.

By Dharma Sastra, we mean only smrtis supported by and based on the Vedas. According to Manu,

Dharma is

, , , ,

, , , , , ,

, , ,

The Manusmrti, which incorporates all the facets of Dharma, still remains the most comprehensive Hindu

treatise on social organization and the code of human conduct in a well ordered, law-abiding society. In it

Manu, the erudite law-giver envisaged an ideal Hindu Democratic Socialistic Republic, which hardly finds a

parallel in the whole world. In constructing the ideal Hindu society Manu took into consideration all the

available material from the Vedas and other sources. He then interpreted and used them in such a way as to

enable every member of society to lead a happy life while doing his allotted social work and thus reach the

cherished goal of human life viz., Jivanmukti during his life time and Videha mukti, liberation after death.

As a matter of fact, Manu Smrti is not only a Dharma Sastra but Purusartha Sastra as it deals with Artha,

Kama and Moksha also. As such, it presecribes ways for earning money strictly through right means; for

utilizing money in a right manner and enjoying married life and procreating progeny and finally

attaining Moksha. Manusmrti covers a universal range and arena as mostly it deals with the

human nature, relations, needs, requirements and recognizes human shortcomings.

Brahma created Manu and then taught him this Dharma. It will mean that Manusmrti came into

existence billions and billions of years before. Sage Manu was undoubtedly the most eminent

thinker and jurist of ancient India. Manu also says, Brahma taught me and I on my part taught

the same to Marici and Bhrgu etc., and present Manusmrti is taught to other rsis by Bhrgu and

not by Manu himself. And about Manu we come to know that six other Manus descended from

Svayambhuva Manu who were great souls and of unlimited prowess, made their own creation

separately. Svarochisha, Uttama, Tamasa, Raivata, Chakshusha and Vaivasvatha of great

effulgence (these six) and Svayambhuva the first one, these seven Manus made and sustained

their own creations in their own period.

SRIVAISHNAVISM

Srimadh Bhagavad Gita

CHAPTER: 12. SLOKA 05, 06 & 07.

kleso 'dhikataras tesam avyaktasakta-cetasam I avyakta hi gatir duhkham dehavadbhir avapyate II

TRANSLATION

For those whose minds are attached to the unmanifested, impersonal

feature of the Supreme, advancement is very troublesome. To make

progress in that discipline is always difficult for those who are embodied.

ye tu sarvani karmani mayi sannyasya mat-parah I ananyenaiva yogena mam dhyayanta upasate II

tesam aham samuddharta mrtyu-samsara-sagarat I bhavami na cirat partha mayy avesita-cetasam II

For one who worships Me, giving up all his activities unto Me and being

devoted to Me without deviation, engaged in devotional service and always

meditating upon Me, who has fixed his mind upon Me, O son of Prtha, for

him I am the swift deliverer from the ocean of birth and death.

RIVAISHNAVISM

Ivargal Ti ruvaakku.

Greatness of Thiruppavai The Azhvars are far superior to rishis. In fact, the difference between them may be said to be that between a mountain and a mole hill. The reason lies in the fact that in the case of the Azhvars, Lord Narayana Himself gave them gnana. They, therefore, had no doubt that they must serve the Divya Dampati. They were unwavering in this, said Devanar Vilagam S. Padmanabhan in a discourse.

Among the Azhvars, there is a yawning gap between Periazhvar and the rest, because the former sang a pallandu to the Lord, who appeared before him. The reason for Periazhvars pallandu was his fear that evil eyes may harm the Lord. It may seem unbelievable that someone may even think on these lines. Isnt God omnipotent? Isnt He the Antaryami of everything? Isnt He the One with no beginning or end? How can anyone or anything harm Him? It cannot be that Periazhvar was unaware of these truths, for after all he had just defeated the others who had doubted Narayanas supremacy.

Periazhvars gnana had culminated in love for the Lord, which is as it should be. Gnana must be first acquired, but this is not the summum bonum of spiritual quest. The gnana must result in love for the Lord, love of the kind that Periazhvar had. Periazhvars pallandu is the finest example of love for the Lord.

But when compared with his daughter Andal, even Periazhvars greatness recedes into the background. Andal shows us through her verses, the importance of Bhagavata Seshatva.

When asked to give a discourse on Thriuppavai, the Acharya Ramanuja is said to have remarked that it would be difficult to find someone fit to explain Thiruppavai. That is because Thiruppavai is the essence of the Vedas.

And it is always important to take the essence of any sastra, for isnt that what the sastra is ultimately trying to say? When the ocean was churned many things came out of it, but the Lord only took the essence namely Goddess Mahalakshmi. To take the essence of what is said is difficult. It was this difficult task that Andal accomplished through her Thiruppavai, which is but a preface to her Nachiar Thirumozhi.
