SrimathE RaamAnujAya nama:

Dear Sri VaradarAja BhakthAs:

In the 10th slOlam , KurEsar Concludes his salutations to
the VedaGiri of Kaanchi , The Hasthi Giri that makes it 
so very easy to have the anubhava soubhAgyam and the dhivya
anugraham of the PurANa Purushan , Sri VaradarAjan .

Kuresar is a great VedAnthin , who helped AchArya RaamAnujA
write Sri BhAshyam. Tarkam , VyAkaraNam were under his full
control . Here , KurEsar points out that Hasthigiri stands
in the form of PramANam(Proof) and declares that all that is 
declared by the VedAs are Sathyam and invites Veda Baahyars like 
Jainaas and BhouddhAs to come to it (Hasthigiri )and convince
themselves about the inaccuracy of their doctrines that reject
Vedam. Those Veda Baahyars will recognize the samvAdhi PramANam 
of Hasthigiri by worshipping the Lord standing on top of it
and will be cured of their misconceptions.They hunger for 
PramANam for the truth of the VedAs . Their hunger will be 
quenched by  Hasthigiri  standing in the place of the needed 
PramANam with the Lord on its top.Such is the power of 
the sacred Hasthigiri!

The tenth slOkma takes this form:

SamvadhEtha kila yath pramAntharai:
tath pramANamithi yE hi mEnirE
tanmathE api Bhatha MaanathAm gathA
HasthinA adhya Paravasthuni Thrayi

(meaning): Veda Baahyas , who reject the Vedams
believe that the prathyakshAthi PramANams should be
checked against other PramANams to convince themselves
about the truth of existence of any doctrine . Unless they 
see the fire in person , they would not accept the smoke
coming out of the mountain to be linked with fire.
This is also the view of KumArila Bhattar besides 
Buddhists and Jains. Our VedAntham accepts indirect proofs
( itharApEksham) . The Hillock of Hasthi stands as 
the needed counter pramANam for Vedam (SaaRRU PramANmam)
to help the Veda BaahyAs accept the Lord
as the doctrine saluted by the Vedams and concede 
the inaccuracies of their erstwhile , adamant views.

(Comments): The Veda Baahyas have arrived at Hasthigiri
seeking convincing proof for the matching PramANam for
the PrathyakshAthi PramANam . They see the Lord standing 
there on top of the Hasthigiri and recognize that Hasthigiri
stands in place of the counter pramANam that they needed 
for accepting the Vedams as Sathyam.They too recognize then
that the Lord there as the Supreme Being (Para Vasthu) saluted
by the VedAs.
