Episodes - Sri Ramanuja

[Guest guest]

During a visit to the nava thiruppathees around the

present day ThirunelvEli, Sri Ramanuja came across a

washerman (eerankolli). The washerman fell at the feet

of Emperumaanaar and then presented his four sons, by

calling them out one by one, "satakOpaa,kaaRi

maaRaa,vaguLaabaraNaa," and "kurugoor nambi."

Tears rolled down his cheeks and Sri Ramanuja

remarked, "How unfortunate I am, wearing this 'kaavi'; if

I had remained in family life I could have named my

children with aazhvaar's sweet names and call them out

day in day out like this fortunate soul."
