Guest guest Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Sri:Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama: Thirukkolur Ammal Varththaigal (Thirukkolur Penpillai Rahasyam) 72. uyirAya peRREnO Umaiyaip pOlE In Ramanuja's mutt lived a Srivaishnava who was a mute person. He spent histime in doing whatever services he could provide to Ramanuja. One time,Ramanuja's grace flowed toward him and he took the mute Srivaishnava to aprivate room. There he closed the door, blessed the Srivaishnava and placedhis padhukas on his head. He then signed to the Srivaishnava to take hisrefuge in those padhukas. At that time, Kooraththazhvan watched what washappening through a window. He exclaimed to himself "I am ruined because ofmy knowledge. If I had been a naive person like this Srivaishnava, I wouldhave become the target of Ramanuja's grace easily".The mute Srivaishnava took his refuge at Ramanuja's divine feet from thatday forward and considered that as the sole means of survival ("uyirAya").Thirukkolur Ammal is asking Ramanuja "Did I become the target of your divine grace and receive that which is dearer than life like the mute Srivaishnava did?"
