Dear bhaktas,

On the auspicious thirunakshatram of SrI KEtANDapaTTi SwAmi
(aippasi-moolam; 8th Nov 2002), the kUTasthar of the lineage
to which SrI UttamUr SwAmi belongs, the precious SrutaprakASika
edition by SrI UttamUr SwAmi (and later re-edited by SwAmi's
disciple "MahAmahOpAdhyAya" SrI SrIvatsA~nkAchArya
SwAmi) published by "Sri Uttamur Viraraghavachariar Centenary
Trust" was released by SrI SrIbhAshya-SimhAsanAdipati
SrI PuriSai NaDAdUr KRushNamAchArya SwAmi and the first
copy recipient was "MahAmahOpAdhyAya abhinava-sudarSana
bhaTTa SrI PerukkAraNai ChakravarthyAchArya SwAmi, under
the adhyakshakam of SrI PayyampADi VE~nkaTavaradAchArya
SwAmi (the successor to SrI UttamUr SwAmi in that lineage).

All these three mahAns spoke about the greatness of SrI-BhAshyam,
SrutaprakASika etc, pUrvAchAryas and also about "abhinava dESika"
ie. SrI UttamUr SwAmi.

SrIbhAshya SimhAsanAdipati SrI VillUr NaDAdUr -
KaruNAkarAchArya SwAmi spoke about three instances of his
liking from SrI UttamUr SwAmi's tippaNi to SrutaprakASika
named "SudarSana SEvA" - the interesting one of which was
on the resolving of the apparent conflict between SrutaprakASika
and its commentary "BhAvaprakASika" by "Upanishad BhAshyakAra"
SrI Ra~ngarAmAnuja Muni on the number of sAmAnAdhikaraNyas
used by advaitins [context : tat-tavm-asi vichAram in SrI-BhAshyam].

SrI MannArkuDi RAjagOpAchArya SwAmi spoke on the
topic related to "mImAmsA" from SrI UttamUr SwAmi's
Sudarsana SEvA, wherein clarification is brought out between
the way SrI-BhAshyam and SrutaprakASika explains a particular
Sruti text.

This edition also has good Introduction by SrI UttamUr SwAmi
apart from an excellent treatise called "Upayukta MImAmsA"
on the mImAmsA knowledge necessary for VEdAnta.

Also included are SrI-SUktis of the pUrvAchAryas (verses/poetic
type; not prose) on Bramha-SUtras, like SrI KEtANDapaTTi
SwAmi, SrI MukkUr Azhagiyasi~ngar [who donated for some
of the important publications of Sri UttamUr SwAmi].

SrI SrIvatsA~nkAchArya SwAmi has added very useful
informations as well.

Thanks to SVSS for channeling the funds, which made the
publication possible. Special thanks to Smt Radha Rangarajan,
SrI Srinath Chakravarthy and SrI Mani Varadarajan for
sponsoring the first volume of this two volumed publication.

It is priced at Rs.500/- per set [ie.two volumes].
