Sri Parthasarathi thunai Srimathe ramanujaya Namaha Sri Vara Vara MunayE Namaha Dear bhagavatas, First of all let adiyen let you know the source from which adiyen is writing as requested by Smt.Vaidhehi. The book is titled "Sri rAmAnuja vijayam". This is a very old book published by Thiruvallikeni thennAcharya sampradaya sabhai on the occasion of 961th thirunakshatram of emperumAnAr (12-3-1978). This particular article has been given by Shri P.B.Annagaracharya swamy. Adiyen fully accepts that there is no doubt that periazhvar had jnana poorthi and his jnanam was only covered by his over love for the lord. If a diamond is covered with mud it cannot glitter until the mud is removed. Here periazhvar's jnanam is covered by love and hence his knowledge is covered temporarily. So he acts like a person without knowledge (a + jnanam). The love which has covered his knowledge has only become the root for his mangalasasanam. Hope putting it this way will be acceptable to you. Adiyen once again wants to stress the point that the meanings conveyed by our acharyas cannot be conveyed in a foreign language that easily with our limited knowledge. So whatever mistakes arises is purely due to adiyen's ignorance in the subject and the way of expression. Adiyen begs the pardon of all bhagavatas for the same. Azhvar emperumAnAr jeeyer thiruvadigalE sharanam Adiyen rAmAnuja dAsee Sumithra Varadarajan Vishnu <vsmvishnu@xxxx> wrote: > > > This paasuram awakens periyAzhvar (periyAzhvar thirupalliezhuchi). Andal calls periAzhvar as "pillAi!" One who is ignorant is called as "pillAi". What is periAzhvar's ignorance? Periazhvar is ignorant (has forgotten) of the fact that perumal is sarva rakshakan (one who is the saviour of all) and hence he does mangalasasanams to perumal for the welfare of emperuman. Hence andal calls periAzhvar as "pillAi". "jnana vibhAga kAryamAna agnAnaththAlE varumavaiellAm adikazhanju perum" says pillai ulagAriyan in his Srivachana bhooshanam. Here lokAcharya shows that agnanam is the root for mangalAsAsanam. Dear Smt Sumithra, It is not jnAna vibhAga but jnAna vipAka. What Sri LokAchArya says here is important. jnAna vipAka kAryamAna agnAna means the apparent igonrance arising out of maturity in knowledge (jnAna vipAkam). So it is not that Alwar has forgotten the fact that He is sarva rakshaka but due to the love Alwar has for the Lord out of his gnAna pUrti or perfection in knowledge.
