Re: [INDOLOGY] sentences inserted in the RV padapāṭha. An addition

Wed Jul 2 07:10:17 UTC 2014

Dear Marco,

Here is one example from the MS "BOX δ, No. 1" at the CUL.

Summary of the MS: This is a partial collection of the devotional poems to
Viṣṇu/Kṛṣṇa by Tirumaṅkai Āḻvār (probably 8th century CE) which belong to
the Vaiṣṇava corpus of Bhakti hymns in Tamil known as the
*Nālāyirativviyappirapantam*, “The Divine Poetic Composition in Four
Thousands (of stanzas).” The manuscript comprises the 2nd Thousand (or 3rd
Thousand according to a variant arrangement), that is the *Periyatirumoḻi*
(1r1–94v1), the *Tirukkuṟuntāṇṭakam* (94v1–96r3) and the *Tiruneṭuntāṇṭakam
*(96r4–100r3). The *Periya Tirumoḻi*, “The Great Glorious Utterance,”
consists in 1084 stanzas which are grouped by tens (*pattu*) of poems (
*patikam*), each of these poems consisting in ten stanzas. The
*Tirukkuṟuntāṇṭakam*, “The Glorious Short *Tāṇṭakam* (i.e. a type of
poem),” and the *Tiruneṭuntāṇṭakam*, “The Glorious Long *Tāṇṭakam*,”
consist respectively of 20 and 30 stanzas.

These are the 21 *pratīka*s found between the *Tirukkuṟuntāṇṭakam* and the
*Tiruneṭuntāṇṭakam* in f. 96r, lines 3-4:

niti kāṟṟup pāyiraṅ k[ē*]ṭkaiy irumpi mūvar immai vāṉ uḷḷañ ciṟṟan toṇṭāviy
[[i.e. toṇṭ’ āviy: 2 *pratīka*s]] irumpu kāvi (96r4) muṉ māyap p[ē*]ciy
iḷappiṟ piṇṭi vāṉava◎r miṉ உ

To be compared with the *mūlam *(of the whole *Tirukkuṟuntāṇṭakam* and
first stanza ofthe *Tiruneṭuntāṇṭakam*) in the attached file.

I can send the pictures of the folio if you are interested.

Best wishes.

Manu
