presents the text and translation of the exquisite poem by Tiruppa? A?var, which is part of the Srivai??ava canon, the (6th – 9th centuries CE), together with the three Srivai??ava commentaries in Tamil-Sanskrit Manipravalam (13th – 14th centuries) by key figures in the medieval religious history of South Asia, namely, Periyavacca? Pi??ai, A?akiya Ma?ava?a Peruma? Naya?ar, and Vedanta Desika?.

Offering the first fully annotated, complete translation of these exegetical writings, this volume analyses the language, commentary techniques, and theological positions of the commentators. Looking also at cultural, religious, and other allusions made by them, it places them in their literary, social, and religious backgrounds during a period of budding dissent within the Srivai??ava community, to which they contributed at least in part.

This rich resource is made available in English for the first time for students of Tamil and Manipravala, theology, religious history, and philology.
