Umapathi and after
Umapathi Sivacharya's remaining works, and the commentaries and later books that carried the Sastras forward.
You have walked ahead of your lamps
You are welcome here, and may read on. These lamps on the rounds below are not yet lit; this round will open more fully once they are:
The seventh circuit is complete: you have read Umapathi's works and met those who carried them forward.
Next, the great expositions that set out the whole doctrine and answer its critics.
The circuit is not yet complete
The lotus of this round blooms when all its lamps are lit. Still to light:
Look back on this roundWhat it holds, its lamps and gems, and its inner path
Umapathi Sivacharya's remaining works, and the commentaries and later books that carried the Sastras forward.
Umapathi wrote eight of the fourteen Sastras. Four of them are on this round: Kodikkavi, the verses of the temple flag; Nenju Vidu Thoothu, a message sent with the heart; Unmai Neri Vilakkam, the ten stages of realisation; and Sankarpa Nirakaranam, his answers to the other schools of his day. The round closes with the commentators and later writers who kept these books alive.
