Works he did author plenty, sacrificial yaagams performed he plenty, knows

he the supreme as told by the imperial texts (Vedas), offered he has his

prayers at shrines plenty, may that Ramanuja (Appullar) stay in my heart

forever.

 

yo vedachUDAgurusArvabhoume kuryAt supAtre khalu sampradAyam |

pratItamasmai nati mAtanomi durvAdihamsAmbudadeshikAya ||6||

 

He who made the great Vedanthacharya to shine as a beacon light of

sampradayam, he who was the dark rain bearing cloud to the swans (other

philosophers) swimming in the ponds of fallacy, may he accept my

prostrations.

He is indeed the auspicious, the noble, the intellectual, the merciful, the

author of works many, the famous and the complete. He is indeed the one who

performed yagnas many. He does confer the wealth of fulfillment to those who

beseech him with devotion. He who refuted and tore apart the fallacies of

vicious philosophers, he who frees one from the vicious influences of the

inner enemeies (like kama, krodha, lobha, moha, mada and matsarya), may he

stay in my minds forever.

He indeed has the most benevolent of glances that trounce all my evil

influences in a moment. He who is the recipent of the merciful benevolence

of Vatsya Varadacharya, we do seek his feet and nothing else.

Due to the scholarly elucidations of Maha Vadihamsambudaacharya on the

imperial Vedas, the followers of Kanada (Vaisheshika) became blind, Guru

matham (Chaarvaka) became as light as air, Saankhya lost its glow while

bouddham became fragile.

He who wrote the work "Nyaya Kulisha", he at whose feet the great Vedantha

Deshika studied works so many, prostrate we at his feet forever.

Those who recite this work composed by Gopalasuri on Vadihamsabudacharya

with devotion, they will be the recipeints of Parabhakti on Sriman Narayana.

Let us sing Swamy Appullar's taniyan on this sacred day and sanctify

ourselves.

unintended mistakes in this series of postings.
