SwAmy MaNavALa mAmunikaL on Sri PiLLai ulagAsiriyar works -7

SwAmy MaNavALa mAmunikaL in his upadhEsa RathinamAlai details the AzhwAr-s 
serially with their birth stars- thirunakshathiram-s and also their greatness. 
This is followed, by the vyAkyAnam-s and the greatness of EDu.

Then comes the six pAsuram-s exclusively dedicated to Sri PiLLai ulagAsiriyar

The first of it 'anna pugazh mudumbai aNNal ulagAsiriyan .." 53

That Sri piLLai ulagAsiriyar out of His immense sweet Grace blessed to us 
several rahasyam-s and that SrEVachaNabhUshaNam is the best is unequivocally 
mentioned therein.

That these are not just random thoughts of a pUrvAchAryA but are string of 
words made into garland of works of pUrvAchARyAs and AzhwAr-s and from idhihAsa 
purANam goes to prove its authenticity

'munn nam kuravOar mozhindha vachanangaL thannai ' 54


The next pAsuram highlights that it is not easy to understand and more so to 
follow ;
'Ar vachana bhUdanathin Azh poruL ellAm aRivAr ..Aradhu sol nEAril anuttippAr' 
55

The next pAsuram adivises one and all not just to study but to follow it 
meticulously
'vuyya ninaivudaiyEr..kaRRadhukkAm nilaiyum nillum aRindhu' 56

The next three pAsuram-s underline the fact that these can be studied and 
learnt thorugh AchAryan-s and one should value these contents.

The 60th pAsuram highlights the crux of the SrEvachaNa bhUshaNam -AchArya 
abhimAnamEA uthArakam

Even though one may have immense love, affection faith and devotion towards the 
Lord, unless one surrenders unto one-s Acharyan, the salvation will not 
fructify.

The definition of Lord is then given as one who has complete knowledge and the 
appropriate practices
'gnAnam anuTTanam ivai nanRAgavEa udaiyanAna ..' 61

One falling at the feet of such an AchAryan will attain the highest elevation  
with the grace of pirATTi and blessing of the Lord.

Summary: There are so many works of Sri PiLLai ulagAsiriyar. Several of them go 
in determining the vyAkyAnam-s of complex terms. MumUkshuppadi is one. 
thathvathrayam and artha-panchakam are another.

In case of SrEvachana-bhUshaNam, the sifting of various paths, the final 
solution is given in a silver salver for us after comprehensive process of 
selection and elimination and finally arrives at the conclusion that AchAryA-s 
abhimAnam is the most desired solution.

Sri MaNavALa mAmunikaL further gives to us this in a nutshell and therefore 
terms this works as the greates and also hastens to add that this is not just 
flattery or exaggeration 

'.. vunnil thigazh vachana bhUdanathin sErmai onRukkillai ,
pugazh alla ivvArthai mei ippOadhu'   53;

And That is the greatness of 

aNNa pugazh mudumbai aNNal - Sri PiLLai UlagAsiriyar
