Shri mathe Ramanujaaya Namaha
Dear Sri Visu/Vasu:)
I have a few comments to add to this sequel. "Vendiya Vedangal odhi 
viraindhu kizhi arutthan" - this is a simple verse. Many a times we 
say do it fast, which means before some one else does! Before someone 
else came there to the pandiyan sabai with wrong philosophies he
(Azhwar), did it fast(viraindhu kizhi arutthan). i.e whenever someone 
says something that is wrong that goes into people's mind easily. And 
think of this wrong thing being told very first! Nothing would be 
worse than that. So, this thaniyan says, azhwar took the appropriate 
knowledge using vedic references(which he got through his dreams from 
the lord himself), hurried to the pandiyan sabhai and did the 
paratattva nirnayam. That is all. Here the emphasis to the 'kizhi 
arutthan' is not much done. Kizhi arutthal is a normal prize awarding 
program that existed in those days. And only those who deserve or 
those who win get it. It has nothing to do with things like 'cutting 
a fabric of his own' etc. The real emphasis must be on when one 
should do the right thing. Do it at the earliest. Hurry to do it. 
That is the message. And I guess that was what was meant by 'hastily' 
in Shri Vasudavan's post. Probably he meant the right thing but 
the 'hastily tore' was probably not the right way of expressing it. 
Anyone would definitely like to hurry to good things. Ramanujar, as 
soon as he heard the thirumanthrartham, went to the temple top and 
told that to everyone. "as soon as" - hurried - viraindhu. Paratattva 
nirnayam was badly needed at that time of azhwar. So, he did it at 
the earliest. He had to hurry to tell everyone that lord Sriman 
Narayanan was the paramporul.
I just told what I felt and I hope no one is offended by this. No 
offense intended on anyone. Ideas just differ. Learned scholars 
kindly correct me and excuse me for my mistakes!
Sarva aparadhaan kshamasva!
Adiyen Ramanuja Dasan,
Lakshmi Narasimhan
