Varadha PrasAdham – II
Dear BhAgavathAs,
adiyEn after looking into the Sri Ramanuja Journal Issue 2 Volume 2, the avatAra day of Eyunni mAdhavap perumAl, disciple of Swami NampiLLai falls on the same day of ArulAlapperumAl EmperumAnAr thiruavatAra day.
UpadEsa rathina mAlai – 48, 49, clearly explains the flow of “Edu” from AchArya NampiLLai to the remaining through Sri ManavAla mAmunigal.
Edu was written by Vadakku-th-thiruveedhi-pillai and since he had written that without obtaining perimission from his AchAryar, Swami NampiLLai didn’t allowed Edu to be read by anybody. Eyunni mAdhavap perumAl received anugraham from NamperumAl, then Edu was given to him by Sri NampiLLai. Then it was given to his son PadhmanAbap perumAl. The lineage was as follows:
Sri NampiLLai –> Eyunni mAdhavap perumAl –> PadhmanAbap perumAl –> nAlUr piLLai –> nAlUrAchchAn piLLai
(Excerpt from PBA Swamins DivyArtha Dheepikai , UpadEsa rathina mAlai – 49)
Now adiyEn likes to start with the vaibhavam of nAlUr piLLai. Because, only nAlUr piLLai gave Edu to the world (allowed everyone to read) which was held by only one person till PadhmanAbhap perumAl.
The following is the excerpt from Sri.U.Ve.Velukkudi Krishnan Swamin’s “Thiru-k-kachchi – DivyadEsa Vaibhavam” upanyAsam.
PadhmanAbhap perumAl gave Edu to nAlUr piLLai. Till PadhmanAbhap perumAl, “Edu” exists in this world under only one person. It was not released publicly which allowed everyone to be read. Edu was transformed from one person to another person and not to be read by anyothers except the one who owns.
When nAlUr piLLai was standing infront of Sri PerarulAlan sannidhi at thirukkachchi to receive the Edu from PadhmanAbhap perumAl, he prayed to pErarulAlan while satAri was placed on his head that, “Only YOU have to help in releasing this Edu, so that everyone will be benefitted in reading this. If not, after accepting the AchAryan’s word, adiyEn can’t change that. This is the right time that You have to help adiyEn”. By understanding the nAlUr piLLai’s manOratham, Sri PerarulAlan through archaka ordered PadhmanAbhap perumAl to give Edu to nAlUr piLLai and through him release it to the world so that everyone can learn and be benefitted.
Everyone can give their own words. But here Sri VaradharAja perumAl gave the words of others - “Edu” - to the world. Again he proved that “HE is VARADHAN”. HE is known to be a rakshagar of Sri Vaishnava SampradhAyam by giving so many boons to his adiyArs.
