Question: zriimad ashtaaksharam & zriimad dvayam
From the Bhakti List Archives
• July 6, 1998
Dear VaishNavas, just an academic, speculative question. i apologise if it is inappropriate for public discussion. - Are zriimad askTaaksharam, and zriimad dvayam eternal mantras (ie. zruti) ? or are they revealed by an avataara of Bhagavan from time to time as necessary (ie. smrti) ? in other words, - [The mantras are said to have been revealed, respectively, by badarikaazrama-vaasii zriiman-naaraayaNa rshi and lakshmii-naaraayaNa rshi.] Are the rshi-s avataara of zriiman-naaraayaNa for the purpose of revealing mantras or are they svayam zriiman-naaraayaNa Himself ? [ In the Bhagavad Giita (4.1, 4.2) Lord KrshNa says that He had previously taught the same Bhagavad Giita to the Sun God, Vivasvaan who taught it to Manu; Manu in turn taught it to ikshvaaku. but the discplic succession was broken in course of time. ] .Ram
