Full Series<\/a><\/p>\n << Previous<\/a><\/p>\n Sri Madhavanghri jalajadhvaya nitya seva<\/span><\/i> Sri Madhava anghri \u00a0jalajadhvaya<\/span><\/i> \u00a0– at the lotus like feet of <\/span>Sriyahppati<\/span><\/i>, who is like <\/span>Sri Mahalakshmi,<\/span><\/i> who attained fame with all things, The word <\/span>Sri<\/span><\/i> is adjective to Madhava. \u00a0<\/span>Sri <\/span><\/i>means <\/span>Periya Pirattiyar<\/span><\/i>. The attributes of divine beauty, fragrance, tenderness etc., the attribute of soul\u2018s great kindness, simplicity and mercy, among these taking vows to safeguard the devotees \u2013 with all these greatnesses Sriman Narayana is equal to <\/span>Periya Pirattiyar<\/span><\/i>. In other words, by adding the word <\/span>Sri<\/span><\/i> to the feet of Madhava, where <\/span>Piratti <\/span><\/i>is living at His feet. In such a case, Lord\u2019s feet which are adorned by <\/span>Piratti<\/span><\/i>, similar to Selvappillai in Melkote. Here the commentator reminds Kuresa\u2019s <\/span>Sundarabhahustavam Sloka <\/span><\/i>1 version – <\/span>Srimanthow Haricharanow Samasrithoham<\/span><\/i> \u00a0– which means that \u201cHari who is having eternal relationship with <\/span>Piratti<\/span><\/i>, such feet I approach as a means\u201d.<\/span> Nammalvar much desired to do service to Krishna. Nammalvar could not do direct <\/span>kainkaryam<\/span><\/i> to Krishna and he intended to perform <\/span>madalural,<\/span><\/i> which means to ride a horse made of palmyra stems, as a disgruntled lover to proclaim his grief and win \u00a0Lord\u2019s love. Such intention in the mind of Nammalvar was perceived by Mamunigal and this comes in the <\/span>Sloka<\/span><\/i> as \u201c<\/span>Madhavangri jalajathvaya nitya seva premavilasaya Parankusa<\/span><\/i>\u201d. Emberumanar had great devotion at Nammalvar\u2019s feet. Tiruvarangaththamudanar in his Prabandham also says \u201c<\/span>Maran Adipanindu uyyindavan \u2013 Ramanusa<\/span><\/i>n\u201d. Following him, Mamunigal said \u00a0\u201c<\/span>Parankusa pada bhaktam ramanujam\u201d. Para <\/span><\/i>\u00a0means religions like Jainism, bhuddism etc. and all those that does not accept Veda as a <\/span>pramana<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>Advaitas<\/span><\/i> who are misinterpreting Vedas, otherwise metaphor as \u00a0elephants. <\/span>Parankusa <\/span><\/i>means that Nammalvar is the hook like controller of such elephants and hence called <\/span>Parankusa.<\/span><\/i> One can read the commentary of <\/span>Tiruvoymozhi <\/span><\/i>of Nammalvar in the decad 4.10 about this.<\/span><\/p>\n The word <\/span>Ramanuja<\/span><\/i> means that since He is the reincarnation \u00a0of <\/span>Lakshmana,<\/span><\/i> who is the brother of \u00a0<\/span>Sri Rama<\/span><\/i>. The <\/span>Avataras<\/span><\/i> of ten <\/span>Alwars <\/span><\/i>were considered as <\/span>Abhinava Dasavatara<\/span><\/i>. \u00a0Among these, Nammalvar is the incarnation of <\/span>Ramavatara<\/span><\/i>. Hence, Sri Annappangar Swami considered that <\/span>Sri \u00a0Ramanuja <\/span><\/i>is the reincarnation of <\/span>Lakshmana<\/span><\/i>, the <\/span>parama bhakti <\/span><\/i>for <\/span>Sri Ramanuja <\/span><\/i>is unquestionable. \u00a0Further, <\/span>Sri Ramanuja <\/span><\/i>is a Chief Sage who controlled the mind, \u00a0and he has the capacity to eradicate love, anger, greed etc. of those who approach him. This means that one who controls one\u2019s mind will eradicate other\u2019s flaws. Since the feet of Madhava is compared with that of a lotus which is fresh, softness etc., \u00a0Nammalvar derived the devotion and attributes at the feet of Madhava. Since, the feet of Nammalvar is not compared with that of lotus, the devotion derived for <\/span>Sri Ramanuja<\/span><\/i> is natural, as he is the disciple whose nature is to be devoted to his Acharya. That is applicable here. Naturally derived devotion on Acharya as stated in <\/span>Sastra<\/span><\/i> is greater than the devotion derived by the attributes of Lord. <\/span><\/p>\n It is to be noted that Mamunigal praises <\/span>Sri Ramanuja<\/span><\/i> by saying \u2018<\/span>Parankusa pada bhaktam yatipatim Ramanujam\u2019<\/span><\/i>. Here Mamunigal says that the reason for devotion on <\/span>Sri Ramanuja,<\/span><\/i> who is Acharya for him, is that he has devotion on his Acharya, also a Chief Sage, Nammalvar and hence he is called <\/span>Parankusa pada bhakta<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>Yathiraja <\/span><\/i>respectively. The word <\/span>Yathipati <\/span><\/i>has two meanings. \u00a0In primitive terms ( <\/span>Yatinam Patihi Yatipatihi)<\/span><\/i> \u00a0<\/span>Pati<\/span><\/i> means that He is <\/span>Seshi<\/span><\/i> (who is Chief to accept the service of disciple) and in derivative name <\/span>Paati<\/span><\/i> (<\/span>Pati Iti Patihi)<\/span><\/i>, means that he is the protector. Since <\/span>Sri Ramanuja <\/span><\/i>is Chief and Protector for the saints, He is also the happiest to accept the service. Actually <\/span>Tirumantra<\/span><\/i> which has three words give these meanings: Acharya is the Chief, Acharya is the Protector and Happiest person to accept the service. Such greatness is attriubuted to <\/span>Sri Ramanuja<\/span><\/i> in Yatiraja Vimsati composed by Mamunigal.<\/span><\/p>\n Translation by Sri U.Ve.Dr.M.Varadarajan Swami, MA, MA, PhD<\/span><\/p>\n Source: https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/2015\/10\/yathiraja-vimsathi-tamil-slokam-1\/<\/a><\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 https:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Full Series << Previous Sri Madhavanghri jalajadhvaya nitya seva Premavilasaya Parankusa pada bhaktam \/ Kamadidosha haram atma padastrithanam Ramanujam Yatipatim pranamami moordna \/\/ word-by-word meanings Sri Madhava anghri \u00a0jalajadhvaya \u00a0– at the lotus like feet of Sriyahppati, who is like Sri Mahalakshmi, who attained fame … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,63],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10089","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-other","category-yathiraja-vimsathi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10089","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10089"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10089\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10089"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10089"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10089"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
