SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest all, Let us continue to enjoy Thirumangai AzhwAr?s Periya Thirumozhi. kalayaami kalidhvamsam kavim lOkadhivaakaram yaSya kObi: prakaaSaabir aavidhyam niHatham thama: I meditate on the Poet, who is like the Sun for the whole world, to destroy the darkness of ignorance (a~jnAnam) with his word and who destroys the Kali dhOsham. eppaavampalavum ivaiyEseydhiLaitthozhinNdhEn, thuppaa! nNinnadiyE thodarnNdhEtthavumkiRkinRilEn, cheppaarthiNvaraisoozh thiruvEngkadamaamalai, en appaa! vanNdhadainNdhEn adiyEnaiyaatkoNdaruLE. 1.9.5 Oh Lord of ThiruvEmkatam, where tall huge mountains are like ramparts for TirumalA! I have suffered terribly for having committed incorrigible sins; I am even ashamed and have no strength even to praise Your Feet even. Oh Lord! the One who is capable of protecting the whole Universe! (thuppA!) Now, My Father! adiyEn has reached You. Please save me and take me over to You as Your eternal servant. AzhwAr addresses the Lord as endearing Father.. The One who is the Father of the whole Universe- enthai- My Father.. He is unparalleled Father- OppAril appan! Even for that Rudran, and his father BrahmA- He is incomprehensible and His glories beyond anybody?s ability to understand. Those who do not understand Vedic truth, Vedantha only will say and wrongly interpret saying, thrimUrthys are equal to each other and all three of them are one and the same. He is the in-dweller (the antharyaami roopam in) of Sivan and Brahmaa. He is sarvaantahraami. You are paravaasudEva, who has taken vyooha avathArams and who themselves have acted through BrhamA, Sivan and His own self Vishnu- for the three functionalities as trio- out of His own sowlabhyam! He is the essence of praNavam and the three aksharas are like those vyUha avathArams. Is there anyway can one get mOksham without His dayA-without being devoted to only Him? [Let us enjoy the term appA- used herein by AzhwAr- Sri Sadagopan Swamin writes: Among all births , the birth called Jn~Anap piRavi resulting from the blessings of Moola Manthram as Mother and one's AchAryan as the Father providing hat "BrahmOpadEsam " elevates the role of parents, who are endearingly called ammA /ambhA/aaryAmbhA ( the most merciful ) and appA/appan (the most sacred ) . aaryA is the term for a very revered one and the term AchAryA might be interpreted as AchArEna aarya : , or anushtAnEna prasiddha aarya :In old formal Sanskrit , when a revered one ( mahaneeya or pUjaneeya ) arrives at your home ,you prostrate before them and invite them to sit ( aasana parigrahENa alankarOthu imam pradEsam Aarya : ) . The connection to all these nomenclature can be found in Divya Prabhandhams , when Thirumangai and NammAzhwAr address the Lord in their SaraNAgathi Paasurams .Examples are : Periya Thirumozhi : ThiruveLLak KuLam paasurams: ** 4.7.1-- ThiruveLLak KuLatthuL aNNA adiyEn idaraik kaLayAyE ** 4.7.2: ThiruveLLak KuLatthuL yenthAi ---- Periya Thirumozhi : Thiruvenkata Pasurams ** 1.9.5: --yenn appA vanthadainthEn adiyEnai aatkandaruLE ** 1.9.6--aNNA vanthadainthEn --- ** 1.9.7--Gana maamalai VenkatavA , ariyE ( HariyE ) vanthadainthEn -- **1.10.1 -10 : aNNaa adiyEn idarik kaLayAyE , ^^^^^ aNDA " kOnE " yenthAi , ini unnai yenRum vidEnE ^^^^^^^ NammAzhwAr : ThiruvEnkatam paasurams ( Thiruvaaimozhi ) 3.3.1: Ozhuvil kaalamellAm---ThiruvEnkatatthu , yezhil koLL sOthi yenthai tanthai tanthaikkE ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 6.10.3 : aNNalE unnadi sEra adiyErkkAvennAyE ^^^^^^ PriyAzhwAr PallANdu : Paasuram 6 yenthai tanthai tanthai tam mUtthappan yEzhpadikAl thodangi ^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^ The sum of it all is that one's father revered by Vedam as "pithru dEvO bhava " is deservedly addressed as "appA , aNNA , tanthai , appan , aNNal , Aaryan et al "to indicate the reverence for givng us the JN~Anap piRavi . In the days past , a son never sat in front of his father .He always stood unless asked by his father and even then at a place below his father's seat . The exemplary case of Father-AchArya-Son relationship is that of Kumara VaradAchAr and Swami Sri Desikan ,His father , AchAryan and God?
