ARangam
We are in the midst of periya jEyar
utsavam -aippasi mUlam.
mAmunikaL's greatness can be observed from
His prabhandham-s and his commentaries. His prabhandhams are lucid yet thought
provoking. A few samples.
"mARan paNitha thamizh
maRaikku mangaiyar kOne,ARangam kURa avadharitha.." upadhEsa
rethinamAlai 9;
this pAsuram mentions that kaliyan's
prabhandham-s are explanatory works of swAmi nam-AzhwAr's
creations.
How?
AchArya Hrdhayam sUthram clearly
highlights this aspect:
"vEdha
chadhustangOpAyangaL padhinAlum pOlEa, innAlum irundhamizh nUl paNuval
ARum.." 43
That is , the four prabhandham-s of
satakOpan namely thiruvirutham, thiruvAsiriyam, periya thiruvandhAdhi and
thiruvoizmohzi are likened to the four vEdham-s.
The vEdhams have six
aspects-angangaL-shEkshA, vyAkaraNam, niruktham, chandhas, kalpam and
jyOthisham.
Similarly, AzhwAr's prabhandham have six
parts which go on to explain or elaborate on the subjects addressed by
mARAn. These are periya thirumozhi, thirukkuRunthANdakam, thirunedunthAndakam,
thiru ezhu kURRirukkai, siRiya thirumadal and periya thirumadal of thirumangai
AzhwAr.
There can be no second opinion with regard
to kaliyan following the concepts and footsteps of swAmi
nam-AzhwAr.
This aspect thus is precisely highlighted
as
"mARAn paNitha thamizh
maRaikku mangaiyar kOne, dARAngam kURa avadharitha
.."
