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). ************************************************************************************** Sri purushOththama nAidu is a great tamil scholar. He has written such vyAkyAnams for other vyAkyAnams, the most important being the one for Idu vyAkyAnam. It is excellent. It is available at the Madras University library. There are around 10 books costing about Rs. 200 each. During my last visit I bought the first two. Stupid me, I didn't have enough cash on me and they won't take credit cards :( It is an excellent start for Idu vyAkyAnam. (BTW shouldn't the title of the book read as "mARan manam"? ) adiyEn -Viji (Vijay Triplicane)
