Sri:
Srimate Rangaramanuja Mahadesikaya Namaha
Dear Sri Sadagopan, Sri Sukumar:
In one of his upanyasams, Sri U.Ve. Sri Mukkur Lakshminarasimharachar
quotes the Trayambaka mantra of Rudram and the Mahanarayanopanishad
in describing the three eyes of Lord Narasimhar:
"trayambakam yajAmahE...mruthyOr mukshIya mAmruthAath"
'Trayambakam' refers to the one who has three eyes.
(Some may not accept that this mantra refers to Lord Narasimhar.)
If I remember correctly, Sri Mukkur Swami also mentioned that
the three eyes of the Lord are further described in
nrusimhA-tApanIya Upanishad of the Atharvana vedam.
("tApanIya rahasyAnAm sAra: kAmAsikA hari:")
Do bhagavathas have more information on this upanishad? Is
it extant?
Also, note that Swami Desikan is particularly referring to
Lord Narasimhar of Tiru-velukkai. Perhaps bhagavathas who have
been there can share their anubhavam.
sarvamsrIkrishnArpanmasthu,
aDiyEn rAmAnuja dAsan.
