68.(PrAnavam) PurANOkthAnEka-Tatthva Srushti-krama 
nirUpakAya nama : 

Salutations to the Great AchAryan , who proved the correctness
of various Tatthva Srushti Kramams cited by PurANams.

Different PurANams describe the order of creation of
Tatthvams from the prakruthi matter(Dhravyam).In his
Sri Sookthis of Para matha Bangam and SarvArTa Sidhdi,
Swamy Desikan clarified the questions of hierarchy 
related to the creation of the sub-tatthvams from prakruthi.
Swamy observed that the PoorvAchAryAs did not rule on 
the correct order among these different evolutions
starting from Prakruthi since they were more keen on 
the seekers comprehending the key differences between 
three Tatthvams like ChEthanam , achEthanam and Iswaran
instead of dwelling deep into AchEthanam , which subdivides 
into Prakruthi, Kaalam and Suddha Satthvam . Swamy clarified 
the existing confusion on which came out of prakruthi and
their sequence of appearance. 

There are 24 counts in Tathtva Srushti starting from
Prakruthi and ending in PruTvI.

The sequence is prakruthi--> Mahath ---> AhankAram 
( Saathvika, Raajasa and Taamasa ahankArams). Out of
the three kinds of ahankArams arise the 11 Indhriyams 
( 5 Jn~ana Indhriyams , 5 KaramEndhriyams and Manas )
and 5 BhUthams ( AakAsam , Vaayu ,Agni , Jalam and Pruthvi)
and 5 TanmAthrams ( Sabdha, Sparsa , Roopa, Rasa and Gandham).

Sabdha TanmAthram gives birth to AakAsam ;latter gives rise 
to Sparsa TanmAthram; latter produces Vaayu , which in turn 
yields Roopa tanmAthram; latter gives birth to Agni , which 
in turn produces Rasa TanmAthram ;latter gives raise to
Appu ( water). From Appu , Gandha tanmAthram and that in turn
gives the last of the Pancha bhUtham, PruthvI. TanmAthram 
is the dhravyam between the two bhUthams and is the kaaryam
of the first bhUtham and the KaaraNam for the second bhUtham .
TanmAthram is like the state between milk and curd (Thayir). 

69. (praNavam) Parakaala-krutha SvarNa-bhimbha-
sthEyA virOdha dhrusE nama:

Salutations to the SadAchAryan , who examined and 
concluded that " the stealing of the golden statue "
of BuddhA by Thirumangai Mannan was not against 
the dictates of SaasthrAs! 

Legend has it that Thirumangai Mannan "stole" a golden
statue of BuddhA , melted it and used the revenue generated 
from it to perform kaimkaryams at the SrIrangam temple. 
In his SrI Sookthi, SthEyA virOdham ( no longer available),
Swamy Desikan proved that the acquisition of that golden
statue from the Budhda vihAram at Naagapattinam by Kaliyan 
was neither theft nor a sinful act. In his Para Matha Bangam ,
Swamy Desikan observed that Manu Smruthi law , which approves of
a king confiscating the wealth of the unrighteous and using it
for the benefit of auspicious deeds. Swamy PaAsara Bhattar 
has also said (SrI RangarAja Sthavam: slOkam 36) that 
Thirumangai Mannan won over the adherents of other Mathams 
in debate and acquired the golden statue as a trophy.

70.(PraNavam) SvatantrAshtOtthrasatha virOdha-parihAra-
vidhE nama:

Salutations to the SadAchAryan , who identified the 108
doubts that might arise in VisishtAdhvaitha darsanam and 
came up with the answers for resolving them in his
SrI Sookthi, VirOdha ParihAram .

The Rahasya Grantham , VirOdha ParihAram contains
the 108 potential doubts that might arise and Swamy
Desikan's responses to clear these doubts. VirOdha
ParihAram is the Rahasya grantham created by Swamy
Desikan after he completed his magnum opus , 
Rahasya Thraya Saaram out of compassion for us .

ThrivikramAya nama:

sthutha MaadhavAya nama:

Sthuthi at the sacred feet of the Lord , who was worshipped
by the Mudhal AzhwArkaLs and pleased the Lord of GOpAalapuram
with his own sthOthram !

The Aadhi BhakthAs referred to here are Poygai, BhUtham
and pEy AazhwArs , who were squeezed by the Lord in
the narrow space of a DEhaLi and benefitted from
the darsana soubhAgyam of the Lord with His divine
consort SrI DEvi , the three AzhwArs celebrated their 
aanandhAnubhavam through their three ThiruvandhAthis . 
The nAmam of Maadhavan is used by Thirukkudanthai Desikan 
deliberately to remind us that the Mudhal AzhwArs saw the Lord 
with His divine consort ( ThirukkaNDEn ) and celebrated
the fundamental doctrine that the Lord in the company of
His PirAtti (a sLakshmipathi) is the Para Tatthvam for us.

Lord VaradarAjan around the Raaja Veethis Of Kaanchi , 
some protested that the dhivya Prabhandhams shoud not
be recited in His GhOshti. Swamy Desikan won over this protestors
in debate and established that " Dhivya Prabhandham recitation
in front of the Lord is " a Vaidhika ritual " and resumed 
the Uthsavam . The AaasthikAs of Kaanchi were very
pleased with the outcome of that debate and the Lord Himself
