Adiyen has heard from our elders that on the day of Panguni Uttiram Emperumanar submitted Gadyatrayam unto Periya Perumal and perform prapatti. But, in present times, we perform prapatti only through an Acaryan. Given this, how Emperumanar perform prapatti without the presence of his Acaryan? How to understand this in its proper context? Forgive me if the query is inappropriate.
Vidwan’s reply
Emperumanar did not perform prapatti when he offered Gadyatrayam. While submitting Gadyatrayam, all he did was contemplate on his Saranagati that was done a long time ago. Svami Desikan has shown this in his Gadya Bahsyam.
