mAran maNam

Dear bAgwathAs, Some eyebrows were raised while reading quotations from "AchAryA hrudayam". adiyEn would like to provide some additional info on this aboorva grantham. It is a widely accepted fact that no one has studied Sri nammAzhwAr's mind so thoroughly as similar to Sri Azhagiya maNavALa perumAL nAyanAr. His "nool" or grantham is in manipravALam. It is said that Only a few have thoroughly understood this aboorva grantham "AchArya hruthayam". Sri purushOtthama Naidu took extraordinary efforts to understand this and write a simple tamil literature on this (ie., vyAkyAnam for vyAkyAnam) known as AchArya hruthayam or in tamil "mARan maNam" (ie nammAzhwAr's thought). Coming to the debate, and the following argument Sri Murali wrote >The Azhwar has specifically >stated that there is no difference between Parama Padam and >Tiruvenkatan. This constitutes the necessary and sufficient condition to >establish Tiruvenkatan as the foremost DD. There may not be any difference between parama padham and many other divya dEsams as quoted by not only nammAzhwAr in several places but by other AzhwArs too. But as long as we are on the other side of the viraja river, and not under the "thAL nizhal" of the Lord, the differences are only seen. ie ., as long as we are not given the thanathAL nizhal. So, it is most important only to see as to who elevates us to this perceptible mode and allow us to enjoy HIS "sAmeebyam" in "thanathAL nizhal" by giving HIS "thanathAL nizhal". Besides the argument such as this, doesnot come anywhere near the "pramANam" quoted from "AchArya hruthayam" on "than oppAr illappan thanthanan thanathAL nizhalE". I request tamil scholars to quote if there are any other divya dEsam that they can interpret as the one having the essence of "saraNyatthuvam" all in one, and with the word "thanthanan". adiyEn will provide more detailed meanings of this very word "thanthanan" later. thanks adiyEn Sampah Rengarajan
