Dear BhakthAs :
 
You may wish to refer to this beautiful Gadhyam Text
placed in the Prapatthi.net by Sriman Sunder Kidambi
in six language scripts :
 
 
This Gadhyam is a beautiful creation by HH the 27th pattam
Azhagiya Singar .It is modelled after Sri Raghuveera Gadhyam
(Sri Mahaa Veera Vaibhavam ) . Both have exactly 94 NamaskaraNams 
and start off  and end up with the styles that are also similar . Let us compare
the beginnings and the end of the two Gadhyams . The Adhi VaNN SaThakOpa
Gadhyam text is in paranthesis after the Raghu Veera Gadhyam Text  :
 
namO VaNN-SaThakOpaakhya guravE yathibhubhruthE
RaamAnuja-siddhAntha nirdhAraNa paDeeyasE
 
1.  Jaya Jaya MahA Veera ! ( Jaya Jaya Desika ! )
 
2.  MahA dheera dhourEya , Jaya Jaya ( MahA yOgi dhourEya , Jaya Jaya )
 
    From here on the subject matters differ and the content of the two
    gadhyams take their own forms based on the dhivya charithams of 
    Lord Raamachandran and Sri Adhi VaNN SaThakOpa Jeeyar respectively .  
 
The uniqueness of Sri Adhi VaNN SaThakOpa Gadhyam is the group of NaamAs
from 30 to 78 , where his multifarious auspicous attributes are compared to
those of DasAvathAra Moorthys, RaamAyaNam , Swamy NammAzhwAr ,
AchArya RaamAnuja , VedAntha Desikan and Maha Rishis .
 
From naamAs 79 to 92 , Adhi vaNN SathakOpa Jeeyar's aathma guNams
are further elaborated .
 
The last two naamAs echo the naamAs of Sri MahA Veera Vaibhavam :
 
93. SrI Raamabhadhra ! ( akhila hEyaguNa VaidEsika !)
 
Here , Sri Adhi vaNN SathakOpa Jeeyar is saluted as
a Foreigner to all hEya guNams ( inauspicous guNams) .
 
94. namastE PunastE nama: ( SrimadhAdhivaNN SaThAri MahA Desika
      namastE namstE namstE ! ) .
 
The gadhyam passages in between 10 to 29 are similar  to 
Sri Raghuveera Gadhyam passages , which Swamy Desikan
( Kavi KaTaka Simham) described as " kaDOra SukumAra 
gumbha gambeeram = consisting of tough and soft beautiful
padhams assembled together to house deep meanings) .
 
One of the examples of  the SukumAra gadhyam passage from
AdhivaNN SaThakOpa Jeeyar is the 24th ChoorNikai :
 
nija charaNa nalina samsritha vaidhika Saarvabhouma 
vidhvadhagrEsara smruthi-rathnAkara sudheevilOchana 
daSanirNaya pramukha dharma-SAsthra vishaya granTajAtha 
moolaka nithya naimitthika kaamya-karmAnushtEyathva 
prakAra vivEka laabha janitha santhOsha jaladhi samajjana
sajjjana kalitha nuthi vachana mukharitha daSadiSaavakASa , 
Jaya Jaya ! 
 
Here,  Reference is made to Vaidhika Saarvabhoumar , the title
given to Thozhappar ,  a key disciple of HH Adhi vaNN SathakOpa Jeeyar .
He was a great authority on Ahnikams ( Vaidhika SamskArAs )
and  dharma saastrAs , Vedam and other areas . To channel the vast 
and authoritative knowledge of Thozhappar , HH Adhi vaNN SathakOpa
Jeeyar requested Thozhappar to create 8 granthams . The one named Dasa
NirNayam dealt with UpAkarmaa . Sudhee  VilOchanam covered PithrumEdha 
SamskAram . The details on other granthams like Smruthi RathnAkaram
based on dharma Saasthrams created for aasthikA's Nithya , Naimitthika and
Kaamya KarmAs are covered in adiyEn's posting on Thozhappar / Vaidhika
Saarvabhoumar. That URL is  :
 
 
HH Adhi VaNN SaThakOpa Jeeyar  was immensely pleased with the MahOpakAram
of   Thozhappar that he gave him the title of Vaidhika Saarvabhoumar and united 
the 8 granthams in to one named Ahnikam . The 26th , 27 th pattam Azhagiya singars
have written commentaries on Ahnika grantham . Prakrutham Azhagiya Singar has
also blessed us with a revised and updated edition of the Ahnika Grantham , which is
used for KaalakshEpam purposes at Sri Matam even today . During his current
ChAthurmAsyam , Prakrutham Azhagiya Singar is updating the Ahnika Grantham .  
 
The 24th Choornikai starts with who Thozhappar is and what is his connection to 
Sri Adhi vaNN SaThakOpa Jeeyar : " nija charana nalina samsritha Vaidhika 
Saarvabhouma virachitha --- ( the compositions of Vaidhika Saarvabhouar ,
who had sought the refuge of the lotus feet of HH Adhi vaNN SaThakOpa 
Jeeyar)  . What are the compositions of Vaidhika Saarvabhoumar , who was
at  the front  of Vaidhika ghOshti ( Vaidhika Saarvabhouma virachitha
Smruthi RathnAkara, Sudhee vilOchana , Dasa nirNaya et al) . These are
authoritative determinations on Vaidhika anushtAnams rooted in Dharma 
Saasthrams (---dasa nirNaya pramukha dharma sAsthra vishaya grantha jaatha
moolakam) . They helped to clarify all doubts about the correct way to perform
nithya karmAs and Naimitthika karmAs and  gain  knowledge about those
prakAram / ways ( nithya naimitthika kaamya karmAnushtEyathva prakAra
vivEka laabham) .  That gladdened the heart of Adhi vaNN SathakOpa Jeeyar.
The aasthikAs/sajjanams were immersed in the ocean of santhOsham over
gaining that prakAra vivEkam ( prakAra vivEka laabha janitha , santhOsha 
jaladhi samajjana sajjana ). Those aasthikAs , who profitted from the Ahnika
granthams praised Thozhappar and that made HH the First Jeeyar very 
happy (Sajjana kalitha nuthivachana mukharitha dasa disAvakAsa ). 
 
The Adhi vaNN SaThakOpa gadhyam covers meticulously the many 
Vaibhavams of the Founding Jeeyar of Ahobila Matam . It is adiyEn's
hope that this gadhyam finds extensive use in the celebration of 
the Thirunakshathram ( PurattAsi Kettai) of HH the First Jeeyar of 
Sri Matam , who was initiated in to SanyAsAsramam by Lord Narasimhan
Himself at Ahobila dhivya dEsam .
