5. gAmbeeryasimni stitaha:- The ocean is considered to be the height of 
gAmbeeryam as per the verses, ?samudra eva gAmbeeyam? and ?Azha nedum kadal 
sErindhAn?. In case of mAmunikal his gAmbeeryam is well known from his divya 
srisookthis. While talking about Sribhashyam, Sri sudarsanabhattar says, 
?bhAshyam chEth vyavrunOth svayam yathi pathir vyAkhyAnavAchAm thathA 
gAmbheeryAth?. Mamunikal?s gAmbeeryam is even greater thanthe above said 
gAmbeeryam. This has been firmly established by prathivAdibayangarAchAryar (one 
of mAmunikal?s ashtadiggajas) in his vara vara muni sathakam 
?surAhArAsAreekaraNasaNa yathsookthi laharigareeyasthAm stOthum pravavathi na 
vAchaspathirapi? and in many such slokas.

 

6. kAlushyasya kathA prasangarahitha:- There is no chance for the ocean to 
become muddy. It is just an exaggeration when thirumangai azhvar said, ?kalanga 
munneer kadaindhu amudham kondu? though the nature of the ocean is to be clear 
always. Mamunikal is a great scholar in all the sastrasand hence there is 
absolutely no chance for him to get confused in any matter. Some pandits who 
are really confused refuse to accept the same and point their fingers at others 
and say ?Some get confused in this manner; Let?s clear their doubt?. But in 
contrast to them swamy mAmunikal was totally out of all confusions and also 
clarifies the confusions of all and hence we celebrate him by the 
verses,?senthamizh vEdhiyar sindhai thelindhusirandhu 
magizhindhidunAl-Iypassiyil thirumoolama thenu nAlE? Mamunikal?s vyakhyanams to 
all the rahasya granthams are so very clear that no onecan really equal swamy 
in such clarity.

 

7. vElAnadheetha:- The ocean never crosses its shore limit unlike therivers and 
lakes which sometimes flood and spoil all the nearby landscapes. ?rAjyancha 
thava rakshEyam aham vElEva sAgaram?. In the case of mAmunikal, swamy never 
crossed the limit, which has been specified, by the sruthi, ithihasa puranas 
and azhvar acharya srisookthi?s anywhere in his works. Swamy himself 
says,?munnOr mozhindha murai thappAmal kEttu pinnOrindhu thAM adhanai pEsAdhE 
thannenjil thOndrinadhayE solli edhu suththa upadesa vara vAttrathenpAr 
moorkarAvAr? and that is why we celebrate him as ?poiyillAdha manavAlamAmuni 
pundhi vAzhi?

 

8. druva:- The ocean exists always. Even when the world is devastatedthe ocean 
remains. ?pArellAm nedunkadalE Ana kAlam? (the earth is submerged into the 
sea). Similarly mAmunikal and his greatness will remain forever. ?adiyArgal 
vAzha aranga nagar vAzha ??kadal soozhindha maNNulagam vAzha manavAla mAmuniyE! 
ennum oru nootrAndu erum? is our daily prayer.

 

May the divine acharya live in our thoughts and minds forever and bless us with 
bhagavat/bhagavata/acharya kainkaryam forever.
