Unbiased
Reporting
One of the hallmarks fo our
Commenatators, are their unbaised reporting. Despite the fact that there have
been different interpretaions and differences in opinions, these have been
reported, on as is where is bases.
In fact, in upaDesa REthinamAlai,
Svami MAmunikaL cleraly spells out that VAdikesari jEyar's pannErAyirappadi
ThriuvAimzohi vyAkyanam takes a different tone but it falls within the
overall framework of our tenets.
'tham periya
bOdhamudan -yEdhamil pannErAyiram'

It is well known that
EmperumAnar did not himself give a commentary to TiruvAimozhi as he wanted
varous rasam-s to be cherished by different
AcharyAs.
Let us see two such evetnts one
from ThiruvAimzohi and one from Periya Thirumozhi.

2-3-1;
svAmi Nam AzvAr happily and proudly
narrates EmperumAn's grace, His immense sauselyam and the way He mixes with
AzvAr.
Here this is described as 'ThEanum
pAlum neyyum kaNNalum amudhum othEa..'
It is said that Sri ALa-vandhAr
interepreted this (as per Sri ThirumAlai ANDAn)as honey mixing with honey,
milk with milk, ghee with ghee and so on. (Homogenous tasting products mixing
with each other)
Udayavar explains this as a special
mixture of honey,milk, ghee, amurdham and so on.
Thus, here,an explanation of
EmperumAnar differing from that of Sri ALavandhAr is reported in
EDu.
let us see one
more..

2-3-3.
As seen above, in the first pAsuram
of the third TiruvOimozhi of the second ten , AzvAr merrily describes how the
Lord had mixed with him.
In the third pAsuram, he proclaims
in the first line, that The Lord had bequeathed him causeless mercy when he
did not have any knowledge and in the second line he says
that
the Almighty had kept him in this
world.
The interpretation by Sri
ALavandhAr as taught by Sri ThirumAlai ANDAn is
'Having graced AzvAr when he had no
knowledge, EmperumAn left him to suffer in this world'
However, later EmperumAnAr
suggested that the interpretaion will not fit in with the context as the
previous and next pAsuram-s are being rendered in a joyful mood and AzvAr will
not spell out with melancholy that after grace he has been left in this world to
suffer.
So EmpeurmAnar changed the words
and put it thus:
'The Almighty graced
AzvAr who was revolving in this miserily world , when he did not have any
knowledge'
'aRiyAmAmAyathu
aDiyEanai! aRiyAk kalathuLLEa aDimak kaN anbu seivithAi'
