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

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 .
