nammAzhwAr<\/a> himself highlights the greatness of SrIman nArAyaNan, nammAzhwAr himself and thiruvAimozhi in thiruvAimozhi 3.9.11:<\/p>\n ERkum perumpugazh vAnavar Isan kaNNan thanakku<\/em> The supreme lord kaNNan is the lord of nithyasUris<\/a> and mukthAthmAs<\/a> and is the most qualified to be glorified. nammAzhwAr<\/a> (me) is the most qualified poet to to glorify such great SrIman nArAyaNan. This thiruvAimozhi is the most fitting prabandham to highlight the glories of emperumAn<\/a> and nammAzhwAr<\/a>.\u00a0 There is no re-birth in this samsAram for the ones who sing these 10 pAsurams of such thiruvAimozhi.<\/p>\n In the beginning of thiruvAimozhi itself, nammAzhwAr<\/a> declares that emperumAn blessed him with divine blemishless knowledge and devotion out of his own mercy. Subsequently, he establishes that emperumAn<\/a> preached his own glories through the words of nammAzhwAr<\/a>. Not only that, the most important 5 principles which are known as arththa panchakam are fully explained in this dhivya prabandham. This is explained beautifully in the “mikka iRai nilaiyum<\/em>” thaniyan. This is why thiruvAimozhi is greatly glorified by all vaidhikas as the epitome of all literature\/scriptures. piLLai lOkAchAryar<\/a> compiled his most important work of SrIvachana bhUshaNam<\/a> based on the principles explained in thiruvAimozhi. In AchArya hrudhayam, azhagiya maNavALa perumAL nAyanAr<\/a> compares thiruvAimozhi with vEdham, vEdhAntham, ithihAsams, purANams, etc., and in the end declares that thiruvAimozhi is much greater than everything else. Similarly, he compares thiruvAimozhi and bhagavAth gIthA<\/a> in detail and establishes categorically that thiruvAimozhi is much greater than gIthA as well. Thus, thiruvAimozhi is the most celebrated and comprehensive literature that is to be found in glorification of SrIman nArAyaNan<\/a>, his names, forms, auspicious qualities, etc.<\/p>\n bhagavath vishayam generally means any subject matter relating to SrIman nArAyaNan<\/a>. But, in our sath sampradhAyam, bhagavath vishayam specifically means thiruvAimozhi and its meanings. SrIman nArAyaNan<\/a>, out of his causeless mercy, blessed nammAzhwAr<\/a> (and other AzhwArs<\/a>) with divine blemishless knowledge and devotion. nammAzhwAr<\/a>, after being blessed by emperumAn<\/a>, explained the essence of 4 vEdhams through 4 dhivya prabhandhams.<\/p>\n thirumangai AzhwAr<\/a> presented the essence of vEdha angams (supplementary parts) through his six dhivya prabhandhams. Other AzhwArs<\/a> presented the essence upa angams (additional supplementary) through their dhivya prabhandhams. emperumAnAr<\/a> compiled SrIbhAshyam with the help of thiruvAimozhi to explain vEdhAntham precisely. Also, emperumAnAr<\/a> ordered his dear sishya thirukkurugaippirAn piLLAn<\/a> to write the first vyAkyAnam for thiruvAimozhi thereby starting the tradition of writing detailed commentary for thiruvAimozhi.<\/p>\n The essence of sAsthram is arththa panchakam, i.e., to understand the nature of the five aspects – paramAthmA (God)<\/a>, jIvAthmA (Soul)<\/a>, upAyam (means), upEyam (goal) and virOdhi (hurdle)<\/a> svarUpams. This arththa panchakam is clearly explained in rahasya thrayam, i.e., thirumanthram, dhvayam and charama slOkam. dhivya prabhandhams in general and thiruvAimozhi specifically explains the arththa panchakam in a detailed manner. thiruvAimozhi also discusses the divine auspicious qualities of bhagavAn<\/a> in great detail. This is why, our pUrvAchAryas<\/a> spent their time fully engaged in discussing dhivya prabhandham and its meanings.<\/p>\n thiruvAimozhi has 5 different vyAkyAnams (commentaries).<\/p>\n padi is a type of measurement – usually one padi means 32 aksharams (letters).<\/p>\n There are also several arumpadha viLakkams (detailed analysis of vyAkyAnams) which are available.<\/p>\n nampiLLai<\/a> – thiruvallikkENi<\/p>\n Of these nampiLLai<\/a>‘s Idu mahA vyAkyAnam is the most comprehensive and detailed vyAkyAnam for thiruvAimozhi. nampiLLai<\/a> being an expert in both samskrutham and thamizh literature, presents the views of our pUrvAchAryas<\/a> in relation to sruthi, smruthi, ithihAsams\/purANams, etc., in the most relishable and authoritative way. maNavALa mAmunigaL<\/a> learns the Idu mahA vyAkyAnam (and all other vyAkyAnams) through thiruvAimozhi piLLai<\/a> and becomes fully attached to them. Though he was a great scholar in ubhaya vEdhAntham (samskrutham and thamizh vEdhAntham) – he fully spent his energy in rejuvenating dhivya prabandham and the various vyAkyAnams. He becomes such an expert in Idu mahA vyAkyAnam that he was famously known as “eettup perukkar” (the one who explains the divine meanings of Idu vyAkyAnam in the most detailed and precise manner). SrI ranganAthan, desirous of hearing the Idu vyAkyAnam through mAmunigaL<\/a>, orders mAmunigaL<\/a> to lecture the divine meanings of thiruvAimozhi with its vyAkyAnams for a whole year, right in front of his main sanctum in periya kOyil (SrIrangam). mAmunigaL<\/a> accepts the orders of emperumAn<\/a> and delivers his lectures with great enthusiasm. He lectures the Idu vyAkyAnam mainly and explains the principles in relation to sruthi, smruthi, ithihAsams\/purANams, pAnchArAthram, other vyAkyAnams of thiruvAimozhi and other dhivya prabhandhams etc. On the most auspicious Ani thirumUlam day, he performs sARRumuRai (completion) of his kAlakshEpam. periya perumAL himself appears as a small boy and submits “SrISailESa dhayApAthram” thaniyan<\/a> (a verse of glorification) to mAmunigaL<\/a> and accepts him as his own AchArya. From then onwards, the glories of bhagavath vishaya (Idu) kAlakshEpam become well established and the same have been carried out by our sath sampradhAya AchAryas regularly.<\/p>\n Thus, we have seen the glories of thiruvAimozhi, Idu mahA vyAkyAnam and mAmunigaL<\/a>. emperumAn<\/a> has great love for all 3 of them and thus he himself heard the thiruvAimozhi vyAkyAnam through mAmunigaL<\/a> in periya kOyil (SrIrangam).<\/p>\n It is also common practice to explain thiruppallANdu<\/a> and\u00a0kaNNinuN chiRuth thAmbu<\/a> vyAkyAnams before explaining thiruvAimozhi.<\/p>\n Thus, one needs to study thiruppallANdu<\/a>, kaNNinuN chiRuth thAmbu<\/a> and thiruvAimozhi<\/a> to get a full understanding of the important principles of our sath sampradhAyam.<\/p>\n vyAkyAnam for thaniyans<\/strong> has been provided by piLLai lOkam jIyar<\/a>.<\/p>\n Many recent-time vidhwAns such as kAnchIpuram SrI u. vE prathivAdhi bhayankaram aNNangarAchAryar swamy have given wonderful and simple explanations for thiruvAimozhi pAsurams based on pUrvAchAryas<\/a>‘ vyAkyAnams. SrImAn purushOththama nAidu swamy has also given very simple\/elegant thamizh translation for eedu vyAkyAnam. With the help of all of these and the mercy of emperumAn<\/a>, AzhwArs<\/a>, AchAryas<\/a> and asmadhAchAryan<\/a>, we will see the English translation for this wonderful dhivya prabandham. In our translation, we will see the word-by-word meaning from vAdhi kEsari azhagiya maNavALa jIyar<\/a>‘s 12000 padi commentary and highlights from other vyAkyAnams wherever applicable\/possible.<\/p>\n adiyen sarathy ramanuja dasan<\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 https:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Among the 4000 dhivya prabandham, this is the fourth 1000 pAsurams.
