Knocking at the Wrong Door?

one of the akbar birbal stories revolve around a person who looks for a lost 
item in bright place whereas he had lost it in the dark place. This man was 
ultimately included in  the association of fools.

If you want to study physics you go to  a physics teacher and not to an english 
tutor.

What does Sri AnanthAzvAn does? He seeks the blessings of Sri RamAnuja for 
getting the magnum opus thriuvAimozhi onto our minds. Logically, the blessings 
should be from the author of the work, svami Nam-AzvAr or EmeprumAn HImself. 
AnanthAzvAn knocks at the door of not EmperumAn but EmperumanAr.

'Yeindha perum kErthi iramAnusa muni than vAindha malar pAdham vaNanguginReAn,
Aindh perum sEr Ar satakOPan senthamizh vEadham tharikkum pErAdha vuLLam pERA' 
ThriuvAimozhi thaniyan.


He is not alone in this thinking. Sri EmbAr also knocks at the door of 
EmpeurmAnAr 
'engaL gathiyEa iramAnusa muniyEa..
mangaiyOAr Endha mARAi Ayiramum thangu manm nE enakkuth thA"
This is thaniyan for Periya Thriumozhi.

Why is it?
Neither udayavr is author of these divinve works nor has he given the vyAkyAnam.

A brief look at the background throws light on this issue

i. EmperumAnAr's unflinching faith and understanding of these 
divyaprabhandham-s bequeathed immense knowledge to the AchAryas who gave the 
vyAkyAnam-s.Several vyAkyAnam-s directly quote EmperumAnar while 
interpreting.Edu is replete with this.

ii. BashyakArar took the verses from ThriuvAimozhi to synchronise the seemingly 
contradictory upanishad vakyAms
'bAshyakArar idhu koNdu sUthra vAkayangaLai orunga viduvar' AchArya Hrdhayam 65.

iii. The fact that he did not give any vAkyAnam-s  but paved way for several 
vyAkyAnam-s for thriuvAimozhi .

iv. Day in and day out he was devouring the verses of thriumangai AzvAr and 
svAmi Nam-AzvAr

'then kurukaipp pirAn pATTennum vEdha pasum thamizh thannai than bakthi yennum 
vETTin kaN vaitha irAmAnusan' 29

'paNdaRu mARan pasum thamizh-Anandham pAi madhamAi viNdida engaL iramAnusa muni 
vEAzham'64

The above two irAmAnusa NuthandhAdhip pAsuram-s and others reiterate the fact 
that Sri udayavar's food for thought was none other than these prabhandham-s.

v. 'kalaip perumAL oli mikka pADalai vuNDu than vuLLam thadithu'88

'nElan thanakku vulgil iniyAnai'17
and other such pAsuram-s from irAmAnusa nUthandhAdhi  enunciate His deep 
immersion in Kaliyan's verses.

Vi. The knowledge for any disciple should be blessed by AchAryan. Who else but 
our universal AchAryan is our spiritual mentor?


All these and so many other factors make it a case of knocking at 'The 
appropirate place' and not the case of knocking at the wrong door X


as he is none other than the one who is :

mARAn adi paNindh vuindhavan


illai enak edhir-illai enakk edhir-illai enakk edhirEA!

adiyEan
rAmanuja dAsan
vanamamalai padmanabhan
