Swamy Desikan was another nava vyAkaraNa pandithar like SiRiya Thiruvadi(HanumAn), who became an expert on the VyAkaraNa Saasthrams from study with Soorya NaarAyaNan. Sawmy Desikan derived his expertise from the LaalAmrutham of SrI HayagrIva BhagavAn.The nine Sanskrit VyAkaraNa (grammar)branches are: Indhram , Saandhram , KaaSakruthsnam , KoumArakam , SAkaDAyanam , Saarasvatham ,AabhiSalam , Saakalam and PaaNineeyam . Today PaaNineeyam alone is prominent. In his SrIbhAshyavyAkhyA-TatthvatIkA , Swamy Desikan refers to himself as being familiar with the different VyAkaraNa texts( NaanA vyAkararaNAbhij~na:). (42)(PraNavam) SrIbhAshyAdhyapadhya-dasarTavidhE nama: Salutations to that great AchAryan , who blessed us with ten different intrepretataions to the First slOkam of SrI BhAshyam of Bhagavad RaamAnujA. The particular First slOkam of SrI BhAshyam is : akhila bhuvana janma-sTEma-bangAdhi-leelE vinatha-vividhabhUtha-vrAtharakshaika dhIkshE Sruthisirasi vidhIpthE BrahmaNi SrInivAsE bhavathu mama parasmin SEmushi bhakthiroopA The genius of Swamy Desikan enabled him to bless us with ten meanings for this first slOkam . In his TathtvatIkai , Swamy Desikan states his intention to give ten meanings for this slOkam and proceeds further ( AkhilEdhyAthi BhAshyasya dasArTAn abhidhathmahE). For the first slOkam of MeemAmsa grantham , Swamy Desikan gave just six meanings. For the first slOkam of SrI BhAshyam however he outdid himself by giving ten different meanings. Such is the greatness of the genius of Swamy Desikan ! (43)(PraNavam) sathabhyAdhika-ShaDpanchAsath- ThrayeemouLi-neethividhE nama: Salutations to that AchArya Saarvabhouman , who is the Master of the 156 nyAyams associated with the 156 adhikaraNams of SrI BhAshyam. The reference here is to the sixteenth slOkam of AdhikaraNa SaarAvaLi of Swamy Desikan beginning with the first line : " southrI SankhyA SubhASIradhikruthigaNanA CHINMAYEE BrahmakANDE " Here , Swamy Desikan establishes precisely that SrI BhAshyam has 156 adhikaraNams using the system known as kaDabhAyAthi samj~nA (code of linking letters with the numbers to arrive at a total). In the commentary for the adhikaraNa SaarAvaLi known as AdhikaraNa chinthAmaNi, Swamy Desikan's son, KumAra VaradAcchAr points this use of KadabhAyAdhi samj~nai this way: "SubhASIrithi chinmayeethi kachaDatapAdhi- sankEthEna nidarsa:" (With the use of the two words, SubaaSIri and Chinmayee , the kaDabhayAdhi sankEtham has been demonstrated clearly). (44)(PraNavam) sahsrAdhikruthi-nyAyavivEchana- dhurandharAya nama: Salutations to that srEshta Achaaryan , who is thoroughly familiar with the analysis of the nyAyams of MeemAmsa Saasthram constituted by 1000 adhikaraNams! Swamy Desikan comprehended the NyAyams of MeemAmsa as the poorvAchAryAs intrepreted and through his two MeemAmsa SrI Sookthis (SEsvara MeemAmsa and MeemAmsa PaadhukA ) established the true meanings of the Soothrams ( This subject is elaborated further in the upcoming 94th and 96th Desika Sahasra nAmams). (45)(PraNavam) lakshakODi-svaprabhAvAmsAnarha- bhajanasTithayE nama: Salutations to that SadAchAryan , who established that the glory of Bhakthi yOgam will not come up to even one part in laksha-kODi of the glory of Prapathti ! Such was the reverence and faith that Swamy Desikan had for the efficacy of Prapatthi. The echos of this view of Swamy Desikan are heard in SaraNAgathy DhIpikai ( naiva ayutha ayutha kalA api aparai: avApyA: slOkam 29 ) and in DevanAyaka PanchAsath ( na arhanthi tasya Satha kODitama amsa kakshyAm : slOkam 47). The SaraNAgathy dhIpikai slOkam states that the glory of those who adopted the upAyam/anushtAnam of Prapatthi is crores of times greater than those practising other anushtAnams like Bhakthi yOgam . The DevanAyaka PanchAsath slOkam points out that the glory of those who practised Bhakthi yOgam to gain Moksham will not add up to hundredth of a crore of the glory of one who has performed Saasthraic Prapatthi to gain Moksham. vAzhi vyAkhyAmuddirak kai !!!
