Dearest all,

 

Let us enjoy the fourth verse of Amudhanaar’s

Iraamaanusa nooRRanthAthi:

 

The reason for my being able to sing in praise of Sri

Ramanuja like these verses of NooRRanthAthi, is only

due to Emperumaanaar’s limitless compassion on this

lowly self through the merciful KooratthAzhwAn’s

blessing me by taking me as his [KooratthAzhwAn’s]

sishya and thus EmperumAnAr placed His lotus feet on

my head.

 

ennaip puviyil oruporu Laakki maruLchurantha

munnaip pazavinai vEraRuththu oozi muthalvanaiyE

pannap paNiththa iraamaa Nnuchanparan paathamumen

chennith tharikkavaith thaan_enak kEthum

chithaivillaiyE. 4

 

Emperumaanaar, made even me, the lowly, unworthy one,

as an object of worthiness on this earth. How? He

plucked the roots of all my karmic diseases, that have

grown huge and tremendous over the ages due to my

a~jnAnam (wrong knowledge or no knowledge); He

destroyed the ahankaara, mamakaaram [i and mine]; He

taught me through upadesa [through KooratthAzhwAn]

about the glories and kalyANa guNAs of the Lord. Also,

he ordered me utter and praise loudly the greatest

kalyANa guNAs of the Primordial Chief, Padmanabhan,

the Lord even during Cosmic cycle, who alone exists at

that time with all other jeeva raasis in his stomach;.

Such Greatest Emperumaanaar Sri Ramanujacharya who is

even grander than this Primordial Chief as He has

saved this lowly self; He has placed His Lotus Feet

on my head permanently and made me so blessed; I am

indeed fortunate. Hence, there is neither grievance

nor an end for me anymore.

 

SrI UttamUr Swami’s comments:

 

The One who took refuge at the lotus feet of Periya

Nambhi [MahapoorNar] reverently addressed Alavandhaar

– Sri YamunAchArya as “yathpadhAmburuha DhyAna

viDhvasthASEshakalmasha: and meditated on Swami

Alavandhaar and was blessed to receive his benign

blessings and says: he thus became a vasthu due to his

[Alavandhar’s grace].

 

Similarly, I took refuge at the feet of Swami

KooratthAzhwAn; and thus am now blessed to praise

Swami Emperumaanaar who made me a vasthu [an object of

worthiness]. So, through AzhwAn and through himself,

he got me rid of my karmic diseases from its root, and

crushed my ahankara. He blessed me to become the

ardent devotee of Lord RanganthAn alone with the

strength of his upadesa. He has placed his lotus feet

on my head and changed my lalaata lipi [the fate lines

on my forehead- thalai yezhutthu].

 

Hereinafter, only good will happen. I can compose the

verses effortlessly. Swamy Desikan says: Paadhukas

have touched my head and thus composing Paadhuka

sahasram has become effortless for me.
