Dear Sri vaishNava perunthagaiyeer,

While I am happy that my article on `seethaa's capability' raised a 
good discussion in the list, which otherwise was not that much 
interesting [sri sudharsan swamin's poll also indicates that] I am 
also slightly unhappy for the discussion got diverted to a new topic. 
Actually my intention was to share and enjoy the `dhinamani vamsa' 
krithi of thyaagaraaja. Earlier when I wrote the continuation part 
also, I wanted to share and enjoy that beauty of a 
krithi `sreekaantha' in bhava priyaa.  

Sri Senthil Swamin has referred a part slokam and gave a reference 
that earlier aacharyaas have accepted that hanumaan is treated as 
aacharya and seethaa as jeevaathmaa. I just added two earlier mails 
in the previous post, which appeared in the lists earlier. Now I am 
presenting some authentic references.

In the tamil commentary book on sundhara kaaNdam by sri nalloor 
arasanipalai desikacharyar published by sri narasimhapriya trust - 
page 575 volume 2 - dealing with slokam 31 sargam 36 - there is a 
sentence towards the end of para, which reads "yippozhudhu aachaaryan 
sthaanaththil niRkum mahaanaana hanumaan edhiril than vaadha 
paaNdithyaththai viLakkinaaL". [please refer original for what is 
slokam 31 and all]  

MGV adds ? since this slOkam deals with seethaa replying to hanumaan 
after he gave the choodaamaNi, she is comfortable and gives 
her `mEdhaa' -`vaadha paaNdithyam' - to hanumaan. Subsequently she 
also praises hanumaan ? is it aachaaryan pugazhchi ? perhaps yes?

[This book is a tamil version of commentary of sri govindaraja - many 
may or may not know sri govindaraja's commentary is in Sanskrit and 
that was the reliable and one of the earlier commentaries on srimadh 
raamayaNam ? for details on commentaries of raamayaNam - please see 
www.valmikiramayan.net] 

Another point is the Sanskrit part slokam quoted by sri senthil ? 
this is slokam 1 ? 71 of  "sankalpa sooryOdhayam" [SS] the `naatakam' 
of sri swamy dhEsikan. 

The slokam is 
dharpOdhagra dhasEndhriya aanana manOnakthancharaadhhishtithE
dhEhE~smin bhava sindhhunaa parigathE dheenaam dhasam aasthitha: |
adhyanvE hanumath samEna guruNaa prakhyaapithaarthha: pumaan
lankaarudhdhha vidhEha raaja thanayaa nyaayEna laalapyathE ||

meaning as given by sri uththamoor swamy is "garvam mikka 10 
thalaigaLai udaiya raavaNanaip pOnRadhu manam. Idhu thangum idamaam 
indha samsaarak kadal soozhndha udal. Idhil kadal soozhndha 
ilankaiyaip pOl dheenamaana dhasaiyil irukkum jeevaathmaa ippOdhu 
hanumaanaip pOnRa aachaaryaraal ellaam aRivikkappadavE theLivuRRu 
naadhanip peRuvadhu thiNNam enRa nambikkaiyudan adhaiyE pEsi 
varubavan aagiRaan". ? [please refer page 76 of SS book sri swamy]
 
A rough translation - "The mind with its 10 functional agents or 
components [indhriyaas] is like the 10 headed raavaNa full of pride. 
That mind stays in this body which is like the ocean of life 
[samsaarak kadal]. He, that mind, who is like seethaa when imprisoned 
in that lanka receives all important information about her husband 
raama, from an aachaarya like hanumaan, became clear, and she started 
believing she will get back her husband, and like that starts talking 
about that alone". [may be my translation is a bit crude and excuse 
me for that]
