Dearest all,

 

Continuing on our pastime of enjoying Bhagavad Raamanuja vaibhavam:

[as part of our series and service to Srivaishnavas to commeomorate the 1000th

year (2017)]

 

If someone is not associated with and not having the sambandham of EmperumAnAr

Ramanuja, then he would not be completely blessed by the Lord Sriman Narayanan.

I am blessed with his sambandham and hence there is no

reason for me to have any grief anymore- says Amudhanaar.

Our Master- Sri Ramanujacharya's Lotus feet grant us

great happiness, (Anandham), great bhOgyam, and are of

Parama Poojyam. I am fortunate to have been blessed to

hold on to the feet of Parama Bhagawatha

Srivaishnavas, the ardent devotees of Sri Varadaraja,

the sishyas of Ramanuja and who are equal to

Nithyasooris of SrivaikunTam, and who do not associate

themselves with those not desiring for Sri

Ramanujacharya's Lotus feet. Hence, I stand fearless

and have no sorrows /grievances (as there are no karma

vaasanaas anymore!).

 

em irAmanusan – My YathirAjar – Sri Ramanujacharya’s

mannu- considered permanent and firm by everyone and

holds onto

maamalar thaaL- the lotus feet

porundhaa nilai udai- not desiring for OR attached to

punmaiyinOrkku- the “useless†ones [aRpar]

nanmai onRum seyyaa- not even one good will be granted

by

peru dhEvarai- Periya PerumAL Devaadhi rAjan – Lord

Varadaraja

paravum periyOr tham- The disciples of Ramanuja -

scholars and bhAgawathas [of the Lord] who praise the

Lord Sriman Narayanan with sthothras like Swami

KooratthAzhwAn and others;

kazhal piditthu- holding onto their feet [and thereby]

iru vinai- puNya paapams [all karmic diseases]

paasam kazhaRRi- the bandhams [samsarric afflictions]

are removed

irundhEn- I am blessed with this sath.

yaan iRai ini varundhEn- I would therefore not worry

or have any grievance any more.

 

My Ramanuja- yatheendrapriya: vishNu kaaruNyadhooraa:

Here Peru dEvar- refers to Lord Varadaraja of

Kaanchipuram for KooratthAzhwAn’s reference. Swami

KooratthAzhwAn had visEsha abhimaanam towards Lord

Varadaraja. He is PerundhEvi kELvan- Lord of

PerundhEvi thaayar- and hence Peru dhEvar. PerundhEvi

and hence PerundhEvar- says Sri uttamoor Swami in his

most brilliant commentary. Swami KooratthAzhwAn has

specifically sung in praise of Lord Varadaraja as

Vararadaraja sthavam. So it is more appropriate. Also

Lord Varada blessed Swami KooratthAzhwAn first to join

Sri Ramanuja and later only to Yadava prakasa and

others.
