SrI:

SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

 

Dearest all,

 

After attaining Paramapadham does one perform

kaimkaryam for Bhagaawaan or kaimkaryam for

Emperumaanaar [Ramanuja]- Why do we argue? Here in

this world, Bhagawath kaimkaryam is the ultimate.

Better than that is BhAgawatha kaimkaryam. The

grandest of all is Acharya kaimkaryam. It is very

explicit here as Kaimkaryam to the Acharya

saarvabhouman Ramanuja is the most important of all.

Because of His kalyANa guNAs, everyone does that and

enjoys doing the same. Thus, Anudhanaar says: seeing

what good the divine naamam of Emperumaanaar has done

to Him, it can be understood by everyone.

 

pERonRu maRRillai nin_charaN anRi,ap pERaLiththaR

kaaRonRu millaimaR RachcharaN anRi,en RipporuLaith

thERum avarkkum enakkum unaiththantha chemmaichollaal

kooRum paramanRu iraamaa Nnuchameymmai kooRitilE. 45

 

There is no other enjoyment for me except for Your

Lotus Feet. And obtaining this enjoyment too is also

by means of taking refuge at Your Lotus feet. You have

blessed this knowledge or realization in those

Bhagawathas who have this truthful jn~Anam and also to

adiyEn who had no such realization or any

jnAnam/qualification. Your mercy and dayA on me is

without expecting anything in return from adiyEn.

aiyO! If I attempt to describe this greatness of such

Greatest compassionate nature, then, words do not come

to my rescue. It is better to simply keep quite, only

thinking silently of Your Greatest merciful nature.

[so, others who have not understood can also be thus

benefited by taking refuge at his feet].

 

Iraamaanusaa- Oh Ramanuja!

pERu nin SaraN anRi maRRu illai- Other than your lotus

feet, there is no other goal for me.

a pERu aLitthaRkku aaRu- a saraN anRi- even for

attaining those Lotus Feet as the Goal, the lotus feet

alone is the means.

enRu ipporuLai- this truth

thERumavarrkum- those noble ones who have realized the

above truth;

enakkum um- For me one who has not understood this

truth;

unai thandha semmai- You have shown Yourself to me and

give me those lotus feet [that most wonderful Aarjava

guNam];

meymmai kOORida- to tell the truth…

sollaal kooRum param anRu- Unable to tell the same…

[words do not come to me to express].

 

Your Lotus feet alone are the means and the goal.

[anukalpabhoothamurabhithpadham sathAm … .SaraNam

yatheendra charaNam vruNeemahE.. Swamy Desika mentions

in YathirAja Sapthathi.

 

We adopt Ramanuja's feet as our refuge. Saadhus would

treat Ramanuja's feet as ideal, placing even the

Lord's feet at a second position only. These feet

would secure for the surrendered ones, the three

goals, (Dharma, artha, kaama,) as well as mOksha. They

are potent in correcting tendencies of weaklings.

EmperumAnAr ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam

Dear Swamin:

treat to all bhagavathAs and adiyen prays to get

the sampandham of emperumAnAr as like amudhanAr.

 

adiyen,
