Dear Bhagavatas:
Sometime ago, someone had asked for the availability of a Grantham called
?BhoogOLa NirNayam?.
?Whether this is a work by Swami Desika is in doubt?
Says MahamahOpaadhyaaya Srivatsankachariar Swami
(Vide page 566 of the 7th centenary commemoration volume, 1968)
He has listed some of Swami Desika?s works that were not available at the time
of publication of the said volume. (Vide page 567 ibid)
If any Bhaagavata can throw any light on the availability of any of these
Granthas subsequent to 1968 till date, it would be helpful for all Desika
Bhaktas.
1. ADHIKARANA DARPANAM: This is a vyaakhyaanam of ?AdhikaraNa SaaraavaLi?
TirukkuDantai Desikan has stated in Sahasranaamam that this is written by Swami
Desikan.
2. NIGAMA PARIMALAM: This is a Vyaakhyaanam of ?AaraayirappaDi? and is
considered to be ?74000 PaDi? in MaNipravaaLam. This is mentioned in ?Vaibhava
Prakaasikai? Swami Desika?s intense interest in ?Nigama ParimaLam? is evidenced
by its usage in Paduka Sahasram.
3. TATTVA SIKHAAMANI: It is believed that this Grantham must have been
written even before ?Rahasya SikhaamaNi? since it is mentioned in ?Sri Desika
Gadhyam?
4. MADURA KAVI HRIDAYAM: This is a vyaakhyaanam of ?KaNNI nuNN
Siruthaambu? as evidenced in the commentary on the Tanian to ?KaNNinuNN
Siruthaambu? Sri Vaatsya AhObilaachaariar Swami.
5. CHAKAARA SAMARTHANAM: When VidyaaraNya argued that there was an excess
of ?Chakaara? in Swami?s ?Satha dhooshaNi?, Swami appears to have explained the
need for the ?Chakaaram? and that it was not excessive. ?Vedanta Desika
Chritram? avers that this Grantham had 500 slOkas.
6. SILPAARTHA SAARAM: The existence of this Grantha is gleaned from ?Guru
Parampara? in connection with Swami?s conquering in debate a King called ?Silpi
Raja?
7. SAMASYAA SAHASREE: It would appear that Swami composed this at the
conclusion of ?StOtra Bhaashya?
8. SAARA DEEPAM: This also is not available today
9. VEDANTA SANGRAHA VYAAKHYAANAM: Like his writing vyaakhyaanams to all
the other works of Sri Bhashyakaarar, this should have been written by Swami
Desikan. There is proof for this in ?Periya TirumuDi aDaivu? where it states
?Srimad vEnkaTa naathaaryai: vEdaartha sangraha vyaakhyEna?
10. STHEYAA VIRODAM: References are found for this Grantham in Swami?s
?Paramatha Bhangam? as also in TirukkuDantai Desikan?s Sahasranaamam where the
name of this Grantham is specifically mentioned.
11. PATTHUP PAA:
12. KAZHAR PAA:
13. AMMAANAIP PAA
14. OOSAL PAA
15. YESAL PAA
The works from 11 to 15 are lost
Besides the above there are a few works that have been discovered at the time
of publication of the Centenary Volume and have since gone in print. They are:
1. RAHASYA NISHKARSHAM:
2. DASA DEEPAKA NIGANTU:
Both of these has been printed in the Centenary Commemoration Volume
3. PRAAKRITA VYAAKARANAM:
4. GURU RATNAAVALI:
These two were being printed by Parakaala MaTam, Mysore at the time of
publication of the Centenary Volume.
