Sri Parthasarathi thunai

Srimathe Ramanujaya namaha

Sri Vara Vara munaye Namaha

 

Feeling pleased with the deep interest of elaiyazhvar to undergo the 
panchasamskaram immediately from Periya nambigal, nambigal seated him under the 
magizha tree. As per the pramanic verses, ?manthrasamskarasithyartham 
manthradeekshAvidow tathA I chakrasya dhAranam prOktham manthrai: panchAyudhAni 
vA I? ?chakrAdhidhAranam pumsAm para sambhandha vEdhinam I pathivrathA nimitham 
hi valayAdhi vibhooshanam? 

Nambigal did thApa samskAram (putting the mark of sanghu and chakra on the left 
and right shoulders of the shisya with a heated marker) to elaiyAzhvar.  

 

As per the divine verses: ?nivEshya dhakshinE svasya vineedhAnjali samudham I

Moordhni hastham vinishipya dhakshiman jnana dhakshinam I svayam duhriti 
vinyasya krupayA veekshayEth guru: I svAchAryam hrudhayE dyAthvA japthvA 
guruparamparAm II A-vam prapathya dEvEsa mAchArya: krupayA svayam I

AthyApayEn manthraratnam sarvasandhodhidaivatham II?

 

As per the prescribed rules in the above pramanams, Periya nambigal seated 
elaiyazhvar to his right and placed his hand over the shisyas head. 
Concentrating on the divine feet of his acharya, Sri Alavandaar and reciting 
the guruparamparai in mind, nambigal did the dvaya mahA manthra upadesam along 
with the angas in the right ear of elaiyAzhvar. Nambigal told elaiyAzhvar,? 
consider that Sri Alavandaar has left his divine feet on my head for your sake 
and has left to paramapadam (thirunAdu, the divine abode of emperuman) like Sri 
rAmapiran placing his divine padhukas on top of bharatha?s head to rule over 
the kingdom and left to the forest.? Periya nambigal acted only as a limb of 
alavandaar whereas elaiyazhvar?s actual acharya wasnone other than Sri 
alavandaar himself. That is why pillaiamudhanAr says,?edhikat kiraivan yamunai 
thuraivan enai adiyAm gadhi peRRudaiya rAmAnusan?  

 

Elaiyazhvar then requested nambigal to enlighten him on the following queries. 
?Which is the pramanam? Who is the pramEyam? Who are the pramAthAs?? Nambigal 
replied, ?As per Azhvars paasuram, ?mAdhavan pEr solluvadhE vOththin surukku? 
pramanam is nothing other than the dvayam; prameyam is that which has been 
clearly explained in the dvaya mahA manthram, that perumal who stays in 
hasthigiri with the divine conch and sankra in his hands; pramatha is none 
other than you; So now come to enjoy the pramEyam alongwith this pramanam?.

 

The very next day, both of them went to have the darshan of E-ri kAththa rAmar 
and did mangalasasanams to him. ?As per the praise, ?sa rAmO lOkaranjana:? Oh! 
My lord you have saved this darshanam from becoming a barrenground ?. After 
doing mangalasasanam to chakravarthi thirumagan they left to perumal koil.
