KuruhaippirAn EmpirAn isaik-kavi
yeenRAn= The great one , who incarnated in ThirukkurhUr
gave birth to ThiruvAimozhi filled with isai and ilakkaNam( grammar).
tammin mUnRAyinavum pala kAlum
ninaivuRRu AaraNatthin mummai Tamizhai KuruhaippirAn EmperumAn YeenRAn=
SaThakOpar , the Prapanna jana santAna kUDastar ,
remembered the
tripartite ( trayi) nature of the VedAs many
times and gave birth to the paasurams in the form of Tamil Veda
mantrams , which housed the essence of the three Sanskrit VedAs ( Rg ,
Yajur and Saama).
Vedam is three fold. Modelled after that
,
SaThakOpar gave birth to " Mummai Tamizh".
Mummai stands for many triads
:
AbhEdha , Gataka, BhEda
Srutis
Adhvaitam , dhvaitam , VisishtAdhvaitam
Saantikam , Poushtikam , AabhichArakam
Iyal. Isai ,Naatakam
Tattvam , hitam ,
PurushArtham
chith , achith , Iswaran
Karma, Bhakti , JN~Ana
yOgams
Just as GaDaka sruti resolved the conflicts
between BhEdha and abhEdha srutis , the paasurams of SaThakOpar born
out of His Jn~Ana garbham brought
out the true meanings of Veda Mantrams in scholarly Tamizh without
contradicting each other.
ivai tOnRA upanidatap-poruL
tOnralluRRar tamakkum sAnRum yenRa pOthu maRRenRin ?
ivai yeenRAn =the paasurams were created by the AzhwAr in this
manner remembering the triumvirate aspect of the VedAs .YeenRAn means gave
birth .
These Paasurams were concieved
,
nourished in the Jn~Ana garbham of SaThakOpar
and delivered for our benefit .
tOnRA upaniDatap-poruL = that which does not reveal itself easily
(Viz); the meanings of the upanishads
tOnRaluRRAr tamakkum sAnRum=
The
Paasurams of SaThakOpar become validating
sources for those , who wished to assure themselves about " the correct meanings" given to them by
others . This passage in other words means that AzhwAr's paasurams are
very helpful to understand the authentic meanings of difficult to know
Upanishad mantrams . SaanRu means
saakshi ( about their authenticity).
