Commentaries-Their
Greatness
We have scratched the surface of
few great features of our commentaries.The great wonderful maNipravALam. The
most appropriate quotes. The perfect aidhiyangaL. The unbiased reporting.
The continuity -sangathi.
We are at traversing the
philosphies, being excavated by our pUrvachAryas in their
commentaries.
The Thirumanthiram, Dhvyam, charama
slokam, artha panchakam, The Thathvathrayam, , The
visishtAdviatham,are a
few of these.
These are only illustrative and one
has to delve deep into the ocean of the vyAkyAnam-s to really realize the
potential of the contents.
These Commentaries were recorded in
tamil and sanskrit combined -maNipravALam.
This made the most wonderful reading experience.
The quotes from upanishads, Srimad RamayaNam , Srimad
Bhagavad GiTA, Sri VishNu purANAm. ThirukkuRaL .. the list goes on- strengthens
the vyakyanam and also adds credibility.
The anectodes or aidhiyangaL-s are the words/ discussions/dialogues
between our AchAryas in real lives- which facilitates easy understanding
and
also gives a peep into the life our
great AchAryAs.
The unbiased
reporting- The reporting of certain happenings in the context of
particular commentary, multifarious interpretations in an unbiased manner
irrespective of who is involved adds credibility to a great
extent.
The
continuity- sangathi- The links or the coherence betweeen each tens,
hundreds and pathigams- are lifelines for our commentaries. These links actually
bring out the expereince of our AzvAr-s.
The
philosphy- thatvams-It is said that a needle thrown into any place on
the vyAkyanam on a random basis would fall on either of Thirumanthram,
dhvyam, charma sloKam, artha panchakam, etc. These form the pillars of our
SrivaishNavic faith and corroborate the fact that AzvAr-s are indeed proponents
and followers of these in an unflinching manner.
Let us now go into the real-life
examples, the summary avathArikai, the analytical commentaries and so on as we
proceed.
