Brhad Devata (Reg Vishnu in Rig Vedam)

From the Bhakti List Archives

Sri:

Dear Members,

Sometime back, I remember reading a book in kannada which was titled
Brhad Devata and was a commentary by a Sri Vaishnava (I forget the
author off hand since it was a few years back when i read that book).

I understand that the original author is Saunaka of MAha-bharatam
fame (Sauti comes to Naimisharanyam, which was Saunaka's hermitage).

This apart, the paratatvam from individual rikas was dwelled upon
briefly by Prof.K.S.Narayanacharya in one of his lectures many years
back.

I would like to know more about Brhad Devata and possibly
commenatries on the rig samhitam within the Sri Vaishnava
sampradayam.

There was also a tika composed by an very early pAncharatrin on the
rig veda samhitam vis-a-vis in the pAncharatram. There is one
reference to this work in the sanat kumAra samhitam. However, that
manuscript has not been published so far, and rests in the Oriental
Research Society near Mysore. Any information on this is highly
appreciated.

Regards,

Malolan Cadambi
