INTERPRETATORIS SUPREMO

The Ultimate Truth

(1) Ekam Sat Vipraha Bahudaa Vadanthi

There is only one truth but a Kerala Iyer lawyer can interpret it in as many ways as his client can afford.


(2) Aaakashaat Patitam Toyam yataa gacchati sagaramSarva deva namaskaaraha Keshavam Pratigacchati.

Just as all the water drops falling from the sky reach the ocean, all the money in the charity boxes of temples of other gods and goddesses should reach the coffers of the Perumal Koil


For those of my fans both in India and abroad who are wholly unfamiliar with Tamil and Sanskrit or both.

The following is the correct interpretation of the verses

a. There is only one truth but the learned people speak of it differently

b. Just as all the water drops falling from the sky reach the ocean, all prayers reaches the " Lord Keshava." ( Perumal Koil= Temple of Lord Vishnu( also Lord Keshava)
