Thus, to say that brahmA created vEdhas will go against the grain of what vaidhikas have said. It will also go against the vEdha vachanam<\/em> (saying of vEdha) as said in thaiththirIya upanishath nArAyaNavalli \u201cyO brahmANam vidhadhAthi pUrvam yO vai vEdhAmScha prahiNOthi thasmai . . . <\/em>\u201d (whosoever created brahmA initially, whosoever instructed him the vEdhas …). How to interpret this without being antagonistic to vEdha and vaidhika saying? Just as it is commonly said that a person, after his birth, inherits wealth from his father, the word padaiththa<\/em> (as stated above, munnam padaiththa<\/em>) could be interpreted as both created and inherited.\u00a0\u00a0 Thus, here the meaning is that brahmA inherited the vEdhas from sarvESvaran, after he was created.<\/p>\n In the next article, we will discuss the next part of this prabandham.<\/p>\n adiyEn krishNa rAmAnuja dhAsan<\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 https:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI: SrImathE SatakOpAya nama: SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama: SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Full Series << Previous munnam thisaimuganaith thAn padaikka \u2013 maRRavanum munnam padaiththanan nAnmaRaigaL ammaRaidhAn \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a010 Word by word meaning munnam thisaimuganaith thAn padaikka \u2013 even as he created brahmA during the time of creation (after deluge) maRRavanum\u00a0\u2013 that brahmA too munnam nAnmaRaigaL padaiththanan \u2013 he … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-iyarpa","category-periya-thirumadal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28619","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\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28619"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28619\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28619"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/brahma-meditating-on-vishnu.jpg\")
