Swami Manavala Mamunigal has explained the vailakshanyam of Sri Vachana bhooshanam in his prabhandam Upadesa ranthimalai in about 7 pasurams. This shows the speciality and the importance of this masterpiece work done by Swami Pillailokacharyar. If we further analyze Upadesa ratnamalai, we come to know that not only 7 pasurams explain Sri Vachana bhooshanam, but the pasurams starting from “anna pughazmudombai” until the sathu pasurams explain the vailakshanyam of Sri Vachana bhooshanam.
Everyone of our sampradhya knows that Acharya hrudayam done by AzhagiyaManavalaperumal Nayanaar’s is one of the unique Grantham revealing the greatness & thiruvulam of Namazhwar. But still, Mamunigal has not highlighted the existence of such a grantham in his Upadesa rathinamalai though he has written vyakyanam for it himself. This also shows the magnitude importance of Sri Vachana bhooshanam.
Comparison of Sri Vachana bhooshanam with Brahma sutram
1.Vedavyasar has done a great upakaram by writing Brahma sutram. All the important artha viseshams from Upanishads which are to be known has been written in sutra form in Brahma sustram. Likewise, all the important artha visesham of our Sampradayam & Aazhwars' DivyaPrabandhams has been written in Sri Vachana bhooshanam in sutra form.
2.Brahma Sutram has been done in a Short Sutra form that enable to memorize & reproduce easily. Same way Sri Vachana bhooshanam is also done in Tamil.
3.Swami Ramanujar has written a commentary for Brahma Sutram which is called Sri Bhasyam. The aparaavatharam of Ramanujar i.e. Manavalamamunigal has written a vyakyanam for Sri Vachana bhooshanam.
4.Additional refs, like “sruthaprakashika” have been done to know in detail about Brahma sutra. Same way, Thirumazhisai Annaavapangaar swami and other various acharyas has done a teekai for Sri Vachana bhooshanam.
Such are the similarities between Brahma Sutram.
Comparison of Sri Vachana bhooshanam to Sri Geethai
The essence of Mahabharatham as we know is Bhagavath Geetha and to reveal this only the whole of Mahabharatham was written by Veda Vyasar. And the entire Bhagavad Geetha was said by Krishna to Arjuna only to reveal the charama upayam through “Charama slokam”. Sameway, entire Srivachana booshanam was written by Pillalokacharyar to reveal the most important upayam for a Prappan, that is “Archarya abimaname utharakam”. Sri Mamunigal mentions in his Vyakyana Avatharikai - ஸ்ரீ கீதைக்கு சரம ஸ்லோகம் போலேயிரே இப்ப்ரபந்தத்துக்கு சரம ப்ரகரணம்.
