Dear Sri Lakshmi,

 

Ramanuja dayA pAThram taniyan (invocatory verse) is on Swamy Vedantha

Desikan. It is composed by Sri Brahma Tantra Svatantra Swamy (Swamy's

Disciple)

 

The taniyans for Swamy Desikan are:

 

RaamAnjua DayA Paathram Jn~Ana VairAgya BhUshaNam

Srimath VenkatanAthAryam VandhE VedAntha Desikam

 

--Sri Brahma Tantra Svatantra Swamy

 

Srimath kavi-thArkika Simha SwaminE nama:

Sri VedAnthAchArya Varya Prabhave Nama:

 

--From Sri KumAra NayinArAcchAr Swamy (Swamy Desikan's son and disciple)

Sri PiLLai LokAcchAr's Tribute to Swamy Desikan..

 

Ramanuja dayA pAthram taniyan's meaning is:

 

I pay obeisance to and salute Swamy Sri Vedantha Desikan- AchArya Sri

Venkatanatha, the recipient of the blessings of Sri AthrEya Ramanujar, and

who has jnAnam, vairAgyam as bhUshaNam (ornaments);

 

Though Ramanuja refers to AthrEya Ramanujar (Swamy's Acharya), traditions

record that Sri Bhagawath Ramanujacharya also can be referred to, as Swamy

must have been truly blessed by SrI Ramanujacharya too naturally.

 

Since Sri Brahma Tantra Svatantra Swamy composed this taniyan, it should be

during or just after Swamy Desikan's period (1268-1369 A.D)

 

Trust it answers your query.

Dear Sri vaishnavas,

 

This is a supplement to adiyEn's earlier post.

 

Sri nainAchAryar (or Sri Kumara Varadacharyar's)'s composition of Swamy

Desikan's taniyan is the famous

May the glorious Venkatanatha, the greatest of teachers of Vedanta, and the

lion among poets and debaters, reside forever in my heart.
