Mmgl Annexure I - (4) Clear With No Investigation Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

Clear with no investigation means to say that it a "Man" boldly, when it is a narrow necked vessel lying on a horse ground.

(5) Seen but not felt

Seen but not felt means, one does not realize the danger ahead when he sees a tiger coming near him.

(6) Not in vogue

Not in vogue means, one to say "Hare's horn, " when actually hare has no horn.

(7) To feel what is felt

This is just like feeling that "It will be a medicine if one remains near fire during severe cold period." One, who knows that fire is enemy of cold, need not necessarily keep this in mind, but he feels again what he felt.

(8) Thought

Thought is one that makes one believe when someone says, "This is your mother and father." without any further investigation.

There were religious divisions like Ulogayadam, Bowddham, Sangyam, Naiyayigam, Vaisedigam, Meemanchagam headed by the teachers like, Brahspathi, Buddha, Kabilan, Akkapadhan, Ganadhan, and Saimini. With the exception of the four, Natural, Tradition, Elimination and Incident, the other six were in vogue at that time.

5. Saiva Vadhi (Saivait Preacher)

After finishing with the Allavai Vadhi, Manimegalai went to the Saiva Vadhi, one who preached Shiva principles. She then went to Saiva Vadhi, whose moral principle was "Shiva is the only God for the entire world." She asked him, "How is your God? " He replied, "Sun, moon, soul the three and the five elements earth, water, fire, air, space—all these eight are rolled into life and body. He is the owner of all knowledge and arts. He creates all lives, but is in the habit of playing with these lives. He destroys those lives and delivers them from miseries and bondage. There is no other god like our God." Like this declared the Shiva Preacher.

6. Brahma Vadhi (Brahma Preacher)

To Manimegalai the Brahma Vadhi said, "All the big worlds are the creations of our God Brahma, who is our principal God according to our religious tenets."

7. Vaishnava Vadhi

The Vaishnava Vadhi, who was a staunch devotee of Vishnu told Manimegalai. "The blue colored Narayana like the ocean is the Protector of the world."

8. Veda Vadhi

Veda Vadhi said to Manimegalai, "Veda has no beginning or end. Veda's six chapters are its hands. The verses are its legs. The numbers are its eyes. The explanatory parts are its ears. The practice is its nose. The grammar is its face. Nothing is equal to Vedas. It is our duty to recite these Vedas."

9. Aseevaga Vadhi (Jain ascetic)

Manimegalai considered as unsuitable what the Jain ascetics explained on the ‘true strength' and ‘worldly wisdom'. So, she approached an old Jain preacher and asked him. "Who is your God, whom you praise and worship? What is your scripture?

(1) Atoms and life

Our God is limitless. He exists always in all things. He is all knower. Our scriptures have five divisions. There are four incomparable atoms, such as earth, water, fire and air, to strengthen the life. These atoms are active in combination and separation. Earth, water, fire and space, these four they integrate among themselves in different ways. When they form like that, they separate themselves in different shapes. To investigate and learn this process of combination and expansion in other words is called life.

(2) The nature of atoms

The land atoms are very powerful. The water atoms fall on the land to become cold and sweet and finally go underground. The fire atoms burn and rise up. The air atoms blows here and there.

(3) The supreme atoms

These four atoms, with no beginning are endless supreme atoms. When they go in for different nature, they never get destroyed. There is nothing like a new atom is born or an old is gone in place of new one. The water atoms never turn into land atoms. One is broken into two is also not there. Like the paddy is turned as flattened rice, these atoms never spread or get expanded. They travel up and down. The mountain made up of land atoms break and become sands, which again can combine to take different shapes. Later on they can break into original atom shape. The atoms of an old tree, they can go strong to become a stronger diamond. The same tree can also become hollow sometime. These atoms become seeds to become once again as trees. These atoms are spread to become a wide expansion of land.

(4) Names given

These all-pervading-atoms in the bodies, they float in small measures but do not combine even as one unit. They become one, three-fourth, half and one-quarter and combine. After the combination the surplus atoms forming a hole have a separate name of their own. These holes will not do their respective jobs like those which have formed as strong land, as water running towards low lands, as fire that burns, as wind that blows.
