Sri Parthasarathi thunai

Srimathe Ramanujaya namaha

Sri Vara Vara munaye Namaha

 

                                    SRI ALAVANDAR VAIBHAVAM

 

After UyyakondAr attained paramapadam, Manakkal Nambi was looking after the spreading of the sampradayam to others along with his sishyas.  Some days passed by and Iswara muni was blessed with a son in the month of Aadi (July-August) under Utthiradam star. On hearing this happy news, Nambi rushed to the place of Ishwara muni to bless the child and subsequently performed all the requisite ceremonies for a new born child. According to the verses

 

?jathakarmyalAbhedhU vishnoosakAsyadhAranam ? sowlOpa ? nayaneshAbi thanmanthrAthyayane  PivA ? vidhinA Vaishnavanchakran dhArayithrAtvijothamaha: ? and  ?Vaishnavaishcaiva sookthaischa kuryathsammArjanam sisho: - thasya dhakshinakarnEthu jabheth ashtAksharandwayam ? moortnihastham vinikshipya ijbhechchatvA dasAksharam ? nAma kuryath thatha: Paschat vaishnavam pApanAsanam?

 

he made Iswara muni to perform the Jathakarma (preparation of horoscope) and on the twelfth day he conducted the naming ceremony and named the child as ?Yamunai thuraivar? as per the instructions of his Acharya sriman Nadhamunigal.

 

After that, Ishwara muni performed ?Annaprashanam?, ?SowlOpanam?, upanayanam and other approriate ceremonies to the child at appropriate point of times.  During the period of Yamunai thuraivar?s Adhyayanam, (learning Prabandams and other shastras in a formal school) he showed his geniuses of learning all the lessons by heart in a single sitting and avoided attending the same for the second time.  He didn?t show interest in learning the same lessons more than once. With this prodigal capability he learnt all the angas, upAyAs and padakramAs in a short period of time and completed his Adhyayanam. Immediately, after this he got married.

 

After that, Ishwara munigal attained paramapadam and Yamunai thuraivar took the responsibility of performing his last rites of BrahmamEda samskaram and completed ?Pallipaduttudal? and other appropriate karmas.


After this, when Yamunai thuraivar was involved in doing sAstrAbyAsam with MahA BhAshya Bhattar, there lived in the same kingdom a Head purohit by name AkkiyAzhwAn.  He proved to be a great scholar in all shastras. He began to invite all scholars of his kingdom for a dasabhandam (Scholarly contest/challenge).  He also invited MahA Bhashya Bhattar to take part in the challenge.  Knowing AkkiyAzhwan?s capabilites, Bhattar  became a bit disturbed.  Sensing this, Yamunai thuraivar enquired to Bhattar the reason behind his mental disturbance.
