Sri Azhagiya manavala perumal nAyanar in his magnum opus Acharya hrudhayam
says, "dvayArththam deerga sharanAgathi endradhu sArasangrahaththilE" (AH-210)
Sara sangraham is a masterly work of swamy pillai lokacharya (elder brother of
swamy azhagiya manavala perumal nayanar) in which swamy shows how the ten
divine meanings conveyed by the mantra ratnam, dvayam is clearly given by swamy
nammazhvar in his ten cantos in thiruvaimozhi.
Each canto in thiruvaimozhi is supposed to give out the meanings of dvayam
(recorded to be ten by our poorvacharyas). The ten meanings conveyed are as
follows:
1) Paratvam (Supremacy/omniscient) - First canto
2) kAranatvam (being the creator) - Second canto
3) vyApagatvam (omnipresent) - Third
4) niyantrutvam (mastelyness)=Fourth
5) kAruNigatvam (Mercifulness) - Fifth
6) sharanyatvam (act of providing refuge)-sixth
7) shakthimatvam (powerful) - Seventh
8) satyakAmatvam (omnipotent)- Eighth
9) Abhatsakathvam ( Capable to rescue in danger) -Nineth
10) Arthi harathvam (remove all obstacles) -tenth
Dwayam also conveys ten meaning declares Sri Parasara bhattar in his
ashtasloki. The outline meaning conveyed by dvayam is "undergoing total
surrender unto the divine feet of Srimannarayanan who is always accompanied by
piratti" This is exactly reiterated by Swamy nammazhvar in his "vulagamunda
peruvAya" padhigam "agalagillEn eraiyumendru" paasuram (6-10-10), a canto
dedicated to thiruvenkatamudaiyan, Srinivasan
"agalagillEn eraiyum endru alarmEl mangai urai mArbA!
nigaril pugazhAi! vulamoondrudaiyAi! Ennai AlvAnE!
nigaril amarar munikkaNangal virumpum thiruvenkataththAnE!
pugal ondrillA adiyEn vunnadikkeezh amarindhu pugundhEnE"
alarmEl mangai - Sri:;
agalagillEn - mat;
vurai mArbA - nithya yOgam (Sri inseparable from perumal);
nigaril pugazhAi ... thiruvEnkaththAnE - Narayana;
pugal ondrillA adiyEn - sharanagathan filled with Akinchayam and
ananyagadithvam;
vunnadikkeezh - charanow;
amarindhu pugundhEnE - sharanam;
Thus the meaning of the first half of dvayam is clearly conveyed by swamy
nammazhvar in this paasuram. Has he conveyed the meaning of the second half
(attaining the purushArtham) also in thiruvaimozhi? Let us see in the next
posting
