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,

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.
