refuge for us.

Those who have learnt the prabandam URM

of Swami Manavala Mamunikal are our

last resort for emancipation. Swami MM has poured out what all he had

learnt from his Acharyan,

Thiruvoimozi Pillai, in this prabandam URM for our benefit.

This is a unique point in the tanian,

=> That MM gave us the message as IS taught by purvacharyas.

=> those who have learnt the URM and always think about it are the

refuge for us.

Holding on to the Lotus feet of Mamunikal is our resort. (Our here

denotes prapannas)
