taught the SrI BhAshyam
for SaarIraka Saasthram thrity times in his life

created Sankalpa SooryOdhayam .
694) (PraNavam) YatheendhrArpitha
dhurvAdhi vijayArTa pavithrakAya Nama:
(Meaning) : Salutations to that AchAryan , who
adorned the Pavithram (ring made of
Dharbam ) given by YathirAjar in his hand for
winning over the opponents belonging to
Para Mathams .
(Commentary ) : In Sankalpa SooryOdham , the
sishyan is Swamy Desikan and
the Guru is Yathi Raajar . It is generally
conceded that Swamy Desikan had a unfulfilled
wish (viz)., to be adirect sishyar of
AchArya RaamAnujA , which did not happen due to
chronology of their avathAram dates .
In Sankalpa SooryOdhayam , Swamy
Desikan
visualizes that he was empowered by AchArya
RaamAnujA through the pavithram
that he recieved from the latter
.
695) (PraNavam) VaadhanAmnE
nama:
( Meaning) : Salutations to that AchAryan with the
name of Vaadham .
(Commentary ) : Swamy Desikan gave himself the
name of "Vaadham "

SooryOdhayam .
696) (PraNavam) VaadhadhOsha
vyavasTA karaNa kshamAya nama:
( Meaning) : Salutations to that AchAryan , who
established the rules of debate
(Vaadham ) in Sankalpa SooryOdhayam
.
(Commentary ) : In the drama , Guru asks his
sishyan (Swamy Desikan) to defeat
the opponents in the debate . Sishyan has a
doubt about the proptocol of
such a debate . Sishyan asks: Is it correct
to debate with Brahmins and win ?
It is said that one who debates with BrahmaNaas
and wins will be born as plants
in the deep forest . Guru answers : It is alright
to engage in debates connected to
the determination of truth of doctrines (
Tatthva nirNayam ) and to establish firmly
our siddhAntham .
In the case of debates with one
who puts down Iswara ( Iswara
dhUshaNam) and the one who is a nonbeliever in God
( naasthikan) , the debater can
engage even in Jalpam and VidhaNDA vaadham to
defeat them . In the case of
others , it is not done . Jalpam is debate in an
aggressive/harsh fashion . VidhaNDA
style of Vaadham is the criticism of other matham
without establishing the merits of
one's own matham .

to those samvAdham sections of the play
.

where Swamy Desikan says in his role as Sishyan :
" Yahteeswara Saraswathee
surabhithAsayAnam sathAm , vahAmi
charaNAmbhujam praNathisAlinA mouLinA ".
Here , Swamy Desikan states that he adorns the
sacred feet of those fortunate ones
whose minds are fragrant with YathirAja Sri
Sookthis . Reference here is to his
PoorvAchArya , KidAmbi AacchAn , who was the cook
for AchArya RaamAnujA .

kudhrungmoordha nyastha vaama
PadhOjjvalAya nama:
(Meaning) : Salutations to that AchAryan , who
placed his left foot on
the heads of Saankhya and Saankara Mathams . To

defeats the opponents from Para mathams in the
court of the King VivEkan .The pleased
king says : " Sishyan has won over the Vaadhis ,
who rattled away with hollow sounding
sabdhams like " KAdA , kAdA " and has now placed
his left foot over the defeated opponent's
head . As the referee in this debate , I
(VivEka MahA RaajA) place a golden kadakam
at the the left foot of Sishyan (Swamy Desikan) ,
who adorned it after seeking
the permission of his Guru
(AchArya RaamAnujA
) .
