திருவாசக ஆராய்ச்சியுரை - இரண்டாம் பாகம்

with short notes by Mahavidwan C. Arunai Vadivelu Mudaliyar
is quite helpful. There are, to the best of my knowledge,
two other publications with the commentary of a Vedantic
nature and Swami Chitbhavananda is the author of
those two. Above all, the publication of Tiruvachakam text
by Sri Navaneethakrishna Pharatiyar of Jaffna with his notes
thereon from the point of view of Anbil Aindinai
(அன்பில்
ஐந்திணை) is no doubt unique and commendable. I wor der
if I have exhausted the list of all the books of comn.entary
on liruvachakam. Possibly I might have omitted the names
of one or two.
cosiq The present edition of liruvachakam ritten by Sri
Arv ampalavanar and under review by me, is an unequalled
and unique master-piece enriched and adorned with notes and
comments which are at once elaborate and instructive, scholarly
and sublime, competent and critical and enlightening and
inspired. This edition which is the latest and best, surpasses
all its predecessors in almost every respect The learned and
devoted author's matchless and supreme mastery of the Sangam
Literature had deservedly earned for him the title of Sanga
Nool Chelvar". In addition to his profound scholarship in
the entire gamut of secular Tamil literature, he possessed a
vast and deep knowledge of the sacred amil literature of
the twelve Saivite hirumurai. Hence, he has pressed into
service all his multiphased knowledge of Tamil in explaining
Tiruvachakam and elucidating its passages. A matchless feature
and a very rare beauty of this book of comments is the
unique fact, that while dealing with a particular concept,
phase or a line in Thiruvachakam our author invariably rein-
forces his interpretations with passages of the self- same or
similar words and meaning from Tiruvachakam itself as well as
from the rest of the sacred literature like thé Tirumurai and
from the secular literature of the Sangam Age Thus, we are
enabled to get an integrated grasp of the whole work.
painam This Commentary is purely and professedly written
from the stand-point of Saiva Siddhan am. As examples of
our learned auther's interpretation of passages in Tiruvacha.
