DASAN,
POIGAIADIAN

A small illustration of the vedantha vishayam in comparison with the game of cricket. This was given by Dr. M.V. Anantha Padmanabhacar Swamy in his upanyasam. It’s a beautifully portrayed metaphor. So, let’s enter the stadium to watch the play. Prakrithi mandalam is considered the stadium. Three gunas(sathva,rajas,thamas) are the sticks of the stump. ahankAram and mamakAram are the two bails. The punya pAvams represent the two umpires. ParamAthma is the third umpire. JivAthma is the batsman. Acharyan is the coach. 11 indhriyangal are considered the 11 opponents. AgyAna sukrutham is like extras(bys, overthrows, no balls) aniyathAyusu (one who escapes the jaws of death at various stages of his life-something like gantams) is the one who gets out in the no ball. Ulagiyal sapthAthivishyangal (worldly pleasures) is the ball. SAsthras is the bat. Bhandhukkal(relatives) are the runners. Now, the game starts: The batsman jivAthma with the help of his coach Acharyan, strikes the worldly pleasures ball which is bowled in turns by the 11 indhriyangal, with the bat that represents sAsthras. When jivAthma is supported by the bhandhukkal runner, he can play safely. But when the bhandhukkal doesn’t help him, he gets out. This represents that when the jivAthma is accompanied with the good association he will be able to win the kainkaryam which is considered the Cup in the Pavilion of Paramapadam. __._,_.___
