He also accepted the same. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parasara Samhita <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">says that a saint, with a view to develop the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dharmas<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of vaishnavam, (i.e. five sanctifying ceremonies, preaching <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ubhaya Vedanta Rahasya Granthas<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, insist disciples to practice as stated in those texts etc.) will accept to be a Chief of Mutt. Since Alagiya Manavala \u00a0ordered \u00a0Mamunigal also to be the Chief of the Mutt, Acharyas like Koil Kandadai Annan and other <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mahans<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (great people) became his disciples. So it is appropriate for Mamunigal to accept those things that were brought by disciples for the sake of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tiruvaradhanam <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to Perumal where <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thadeeyaradhanam<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0is underway.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is said that those great disciples prayed to Mamunigal to do <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pancha samskara<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (five sanctifying ceremonies) to Erumbiappa who came only yesterday. Since those disciples are very much liked by Mamunigal, he accepted their request. This is stated in the second line of the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sloka.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The Sastra orders that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pancha samskara<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to a disciple is to be done only on the condition that he meditates the Acharya for a year. \u00a0Though this is stated in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sastra<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Mamunigal doing this will not become a mistake. Since, the prayer of his close disciples is stronger than the Sastra.
