mAmunikaL's open
mind
It is well known that periya jEyar has
prescribed learning through AchAryAs teachings and follow them meticulosuly.
Differing from the views of pUrvAchAryAs has been proscribed as per the upadhEsa
rethinamAlai pAsuram"munnoAr
mozhindha"
However, sri vAdhi kEsari azhagia maNavALa
jEyar has given a commentary-pannErAyirappadi vyAkyAnam- for
thriuvoizmozhi.
This is more or less based on the meanings
of the terms of pAsurams. Therefore, it is easier to understand and learn
initally. Keeping this in mind periya jEayar has appreciated this work as "pinbOrum kaRRaRindhu pEasugaikkA" For the benefit of
posterity, this commentary has been appreciated.
However, lot of differences crept in, in
relation to pUrvAchAryAs thoughts. Therefore, to highlight
this
the terms "tham periya
bOdhamudan" is prefixed to this work meaning he did this work independent
of pUrvAchAryAs line of thinking. This prefix has to be given as he did not toe
the lineage of our pUrvAchAryAs.
Nevertheless, basically the work was good
and azhagia maNavALach jEyar was a great scholar. Hence, the term blemishless is
added to the work == yEadhamil
pannErAyiram.
Thus the 45th pAsuram of upadhEsa
rethihnamAlai:
"anbOdu azhagia maNavALac
jEyar, pinbOarum kaRRaRindhu
pEasugaikkA, tham
periya bOdhamudam mARAn maRaiyin
poruL vuraithadhu,
yEadhamil pannErAyiram"
Does it not display the open mindedness of
sri maNavALa mAmunikaL?
