[Guest guest]

Srimathe Ranga Ramanuja Maha Desikaya namaha:

 

 

 

Dear Bhagavathas,

 

This is the concluding part of the posting on Srirangam Srimath Andavan Ashramam

Acharyas' thanian

-----------------------

 

 

Kidambi AppullAr (14)

 

 

 

Thanian :

 

 

 

Yasmaath asmabirethath yathipathi kathitha prakthana prakriyothyath,

 

karma bramhavamarsa prabhava bahupalam sarthamagrahi sasthram,

 

tham vishvakbetha vidyasthi pathavishayasstheya bhootham prabhutham

 

vandhe aathreya ramanuja gurumanagam vathiamsambuvaaham.

 

 

 

Meaning: Ancient systems are Vedic treatises which contain karma kandA and

brahma kandA discussions, giving various purushArthAs and their meaning. This

sAstra, as told by Ramanuja, was received traditionally by Swamy AtrEya

Ramanujar (Appullar) and from him it was received by us. Swamy AtrEeya

Ramanujar, a great and blemish less preceptor, is the storehouse of different of

ways of meditation (32 brahma vidyas and nyAsa vidyas, their content, as

described in Brahma mimaamsA). He is like water bearing clouds for swan like

debaters. Let me prostrate such a great preceptor Sri AtrEya RamanujA.

(Swans are legendarily afraid of dark clouds – vAdis are debaters belonging to

the other school of thoughts & are artistically referred here as HamsAs-and

Appullar is referred here as ambuvAhar-rain bearing clouds)
