THE ARTHA PANCHAKAM
 
CLASSICAL ANALSYIS BY SRI AZHAGIYA MANAVALAP PERUMAL NAYANAR
 
Sri ParAsara BhaTTar gave the contents of TiruvAimozhi in four lines
 
'mikka iRai nilaiyum, meyyAm vuyir nilaiyum ,
thakka neRiyum thadaiyAgith thokkiyalum,
vUzh vinaiyum vAzh nilaiyum Odhum  kurugaiyar Kone,
yAzhin isai vEdath iyal'
 
 
'àààààà ààà àààààààà àààààààà ààààà àààààààà
àààà àààààààà àààààààààà ààààààààààà,
ààààààààààà àààààààààààà ààààà ààààààààà àààà
àààààà ààà ààààà ààààâ
 
 
As observed earlier, our PurvAchAchAryas are adept in picking up philopshies from AzvAr-s verses.
 
The BhaTTar's thaniyan is a masterpiece, as this simply and briefly summarises the contents into the following five categories.
 
1. The nature of Brahman.
2.  The nature of Atman.
3. The means .
4. The obstacles and
5. The goal or the end.
 
These are further elaborated by SvAmi NampiLLai in the IDu mahA pravesam I.
 
Sri Azhagia MaNavALap perumAL nAyanAr who goes on to analyse TiruvAimozhi in magnificent manner in AchArya Hrdhayam describes in detial in AchArya hrdhayam 211.
 
He correlated artha panchakam to 4 TiruvAimohzi-s of each of the five above categores.
 
Summariseing this into totally 20 TiruvAimozhi as the substance
in the 211th SUthram of AchArya Hrdhyam :
 
1. The nature of Brahamn-The Supreme - vuyir, thiN, aNai, onRu
àààà, àààà, ààà ààààà.
 
2. The nature of Atman: payil, yEARu, karu, kaN
ààààà, ààà, àààà, ààà.
 
3. The means nOTRA nAlu
àààààà àààà
 
4. The obstacles: vIDu, sonnAl, oru,koNDa.
àààà, àààààààà, ààà, ààààà
 
5. The goal or the end -emmA, ozhivil, nedu, vEi.
 
ààààà, ààààààà, àààà, àààà
 
 
How do these tiruvAimozhi-s fit into this aspect?
These five aspects are significant and embedded in twenty TiruvAimozhi-s.
 
Let us go into each of these breifely.
