2. maneendra paritha: -  The ocean is otherwise called as ?ratnAkAram? due to the presence of number of precious gems.  Both ratnam and mani are similar terms referring to gems.  In case of mAmunikal, swamy can also be called as maneendra paritha:.  Let?s see how.  (1) While describing the beauty of thiruvanandhAzhvan in his stotra ratnam aalavandaar says, ?panAmanivrAdha mayooka mandala prakAsa mAnOdha divyadhAmani?.  From Alavandaar?s words it is clear that thiruvanandhAzhvan has precious gems on his head.  Swamy mAmunikal is none other than the aparAvathAra of thiruvanandhAzhvan so the same praise suits him also. (2) Further in Arthi prabhandham mAmunikal himself says, ?munnavarAm namkuravar mozhigal vullappettrOm? which shows that mAmunikal was the locker for the storage of all the poorvAcharya granthams.   Swamy was filled with a number of valuable gems inside him viz., purana ratnam, stotra ratnam, manthra ratnam etc.

 

3. saththApasAnthargatha:- saththApasa:-munistrEshta: agasthiya mahA muni:  The sea was swallowed by the great agasthiya muni as per the puranas.  Swamy desikan in his pAdhukA sahasram says, ?vishvak AshAnthasindhO: kumbeesoonO:? So the sea stayed inside agasthiya muni for sometime.  Now let us see how this suits mAmunikal.  There is one discussion in thaithreeya Upanishad to find what tapas actually means.  On one side ?sathyamidhi sathyavachArAdhidhara: tapa ethi thapOnithya: pourrusishti:? refuting the same the other side argued that (moukalya paksham) ?svAdhyAya pravachanE A-vEthi nAkOmouthkalya:? Finally the judge the veda purushan declared the moukalyapaksham to be the truth ?thaththitapas thaththi tapa:? Therefore those mahans who are involved in svAdhyAyam (self reading) and pravachanam are called as saththApasargal.  DEshAm anthargatha: or dEshu anthargatha: indicating that mAmunikal resides in the minds of such mahans or he is one among such mahans.  Swamy himself in Arthi prabhandam says, ?pandu palavAriyarum pArulagOr uyya parivudanE paniththarulum palkalaigal thammai kandathellAm ezhudhi avai kattrunarindhum pirarkku kAdhaludan karpiththum kAlaththai kazhiththEn? showing his involvement in svadhyAyam and pravachanam.

 

4.  mathsyAthmAsrithavarka sEvithapatha:- mathsyAthma refers to the bhagavan who took mathsyAvatharam to enter into the sea.  His bhakthas including the devas and the munis run for rescue shouting for help only to the emperuman who lies on bed of adhisesha in parkadal.  Thereby the ocean is the starting place for the avatharas.  The devas come and surrender to the divine feet of emperuman thereby forcing emperuman to take the various avatharas at the starting point the sea.  In the case of mAmunikal, swamy says in his upadesaratinamAlai, ?AchAryan seidha upakAramAnavadhu tooidhAga nenju thannil thOndrumEl- dEsAndharaththilirukka mannamthAn porukka mAttAdhu? and further wonders, ?AchAryanai pirindhiruppArAr??  These words indicate that swamy?s disciples, the great ashtadiggajas where like a fish out of water, while away from their acharya mAmunikal.
