Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya nama: Dear Devotee, purANAs are less authentic as compared to itihAsAs. Even among the purANAs vishNu purANam is the foremost. When these things conflict with sruti(samskrt), the former have to be rejected. Whenever samskrt vedAs pose difficulty one "has" to refer back to "drAvida vEdam" as the former carries "hoards of unwanted garbage/kuppai" alongwith srIman nArAyaNa unlike nAlAyira divya prabandham which is the purest of the pure and which only talks about the Lord and His kalyANa guNas. When people follow samskrt vedas(without the help of NDP),the result is only nervous break down. It is not possible for a jIvAtmA(esp., baddha jIvAtmA) to spot mANikya(srIman nArAyaNa) among the heaps of waste without the grace of the Lord which is what NDP talks about. So all the riddles are solved when one seeks sheltor in NDP. No offence intented towards people who are staunch followers of samskrt vedas more than NDP! I was wondering, even though our sampradAyam goes by ubhaya vEdAntam, is it possible for a jIvAtmA to be "equally" inclined towards both in "heart"? I doubt it and plan to do a small study on this by observing what comes more often from the mouth of the jIvAtmA. If a jIvAtma talks more of AzhvArs, he/she is less likely to talk about samskrt vEdAs and vice versa. mayarvu aRa mathi nalam aruLappeRRa AzhvAr thiruvadigaLE sharaNam adiyEn rAmAnuja dAsI NC Nappinnai > A very interesting fact about all sheshas > is stated in the Bhagavad Gita.
