- by Kooratthaazhwaan

 

I take refuge at the feet of our guru Bhagavaan Ramanuja, that ocean

of mercy who, infatuated with the gold-like, lotus feet of the Lord,

considered all else as mere blades of grass.

RuNdukoN dEn,innam uRRana Othil ulappillaiyE.

 

(from Thiruvarangatthamudhanaar's Ramanuja NooRRandhaadhi)

 

Now I have seen my Ramanuja; what a sight it is indeed, it makes me

seek to serve the golden feet of his devotees; Now I take just a sip

from this ocean of auspicious qualities and all my past karmaas are

destroyed, No, there is no end if I start to say more.

 

Ramanuja Daya Patram Gnana Vairaghya Bushanam |

Srimad Venkata Natharyam Vande Vedanta Desikam ||

-by Brahmatanta Swatantra Jeeyar

 

I salute the great Venkata Natha also called Vedanta Acharya and Lion

among poets and logicians and who was well adorned by both Knowledge

and discretion and who well deserved the grace of Srimad Ramanuja.

 

Seeronru Tooppul Tiruvenkata mudaiyan Par onra chonna pazhamozhiyul |

 

OronRu thane Amaiyado Dharaniyil Vazhvorkku Vanerap Pomalavum Vazhvu

|

-by Pillai Lokacharyar

 

For a person who desires to ascend up to the Heavens, even a single

statement of the great Acharya , Tooppul Tiuvenkadamudaiyan ( Vedanta

Desika ) uttered by him for the benefit of humanity would be

sufficient to lift him up to his desired goal.
