Subject: Re: [Oppiliappan] Bhattar Dear SwAmi,
Usually sri bhattar,s reply will be in a
manner where the essence of the doubt is clarified
precisely.
For example, when somebody asked in the
context of the thiru-vioi-mozhip pAsuram "AnAllan, pen
allan", What is the gender of the Lord then? kindly refer to EDu
for thiru-voi-mozhi pAsuram 2-5-10;
sri bhattar incisively clarified that He
is the supreme purushothaman the paramAthmA in contrast to the
jEvAthmAs.
However, here instead of such repliy, the
reply is" How are you the loser?" "..vumakkuch sEdham en?"
This is rare as when we see sri bhattar's
precise clarificiations,
such type of replies are
rare.
The cynical reply makes this interesting.
Perhpas, the quesitoner might have asked not with a view of getting
clarification but with a view of finding fault or finding contradictions.(of
course this is my conjecture)
If somebody else can come out with an explanation,
it will be better.
Thank YOu
