thiruppAvai pAsuram
18
The Everlasting
Debate
athuzhAi or dhEvakip
pirAtti?
vundhu
madhakaLiRRan--
'em-perumAnAr vugandha
pAsuram'
Everyone are aware that sri em-perumAnAr
used to go to houses on 'vunjrvarthi' and when he reached this particular
thiru-mALigai,
the door opened and nambi's daughter
appeared . On seeing this, sri em-perumAnAr fell at her
feet.
The pAsuram at that time was ' vundhu..sendhAmaraik kaiyAl ... vandhu thiRavAi.."
However, there are two opnions regarding
whose thiru-mALigai this is? This is periya-nambi swAmigaL's thirumALigai and
the maiden was 'athuzhAi'
The another view is that the
thirumALigai was 'thiru-k-kOTTiyUr' nambi's and the maiden was his
daughter dhEvaki pirAtti.
Both the views have been
prevaling.
Sri puthUr swAmi with his analytical mind
has given clarification on this aspect.
The opinion that this is sri periya
nambi's thiru-mALigai is voiced in thiruppAvai
arum-padhavaurai.
However, this is contrary to the
following:
1. sri rAmAnuja Dhivya sarithai of
When udayavar visited sri
thirukkOTTiyUr nambi's thiru-mALigai, dhEvaki pirAtti -thiru-kkOTTiyUr nambi's
daughter opened the door.
2.
vadivazhazhagiya nambi dAsar Guruparampara
praBhAvam: 3. paNNErAyirap paDi GuruparamparA
prabhAvam
4. As per vArhtA-mAlai compilation,
vArhtAmAlai of pin-pazhagiya perumAL jEyar- swAmi nam-piLLai's
sishyar.
Conclusion: Thus, since all these four voice one
view and arumpadhavuria is different, these four views are more
acceptable.
