Dear BhAgavatas, Adiyen got a doubt when reading the translation from Smt Nappinnai. In translating "thanakkenna Or uruvam, Or peyarum inRikkE", she has used "having no fixed form" and "having no name". I think our sampradhayam holds that He has a definite form (dhivya mangala rUpam) and that He has many definite names. What Sri Pillai Lokacharya means perhaps, is that while He has form and names, He gladly accepts any form and name that His devotees like for Him (Asrithar ugantha). May be that is why he used the thanakenna - He has the form and name not for Himself but for the sake of His devotees and gladly accepts many more. Smt Nappinnai and others, please clarify. adiyEn madhurakavi dAsan TCA Venkatesan --- vaidhehi_nc <nappinnai_nc@xxxx> wrote: > Sri: > Srimathe Ramanujaya nama: > > Dear Devotees, > Salutations to all.
