Iraamaanusa nooRRanthAthi- 28th verse- My tongue will praise EmperumAnAr's glories alone!

[Guest guest]

SrI:

SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

 

Dearest all,

 

Though Amudhanar with naichyAnusanthAnam thought lowly

of himself, here he consoles himself praising Sri

Ramanujacharya’s glories and says: It adds to

Acharya’s glory only.

 

ParaangmukhAnAm gOvindhE vishayA sakthaChEthasAm |

thEshAm thath paramam brahma dhooraath dhooratharE

That Govindhan –KaNNan- Ramanujan [bala raamaa’s

younger brother] is inaccessible for those who do not

come to Him or who are not devoted to Him; same goes

with our Ramanujan as well. Those who do not take

refufge at His feet- His Holiness is farther and is

inaccessible. He does not aspire for sishyAs;

realizing His glories, they come to Him. Thus,

AmudhAnAr also does not want to talk anything about

those who do not take refuge at the feet of Ramanuja.

 

Let us enjoy the 28th verse:

 

nNenchil kaRaikoNta kanchanaik kaayntha nimalan nangaL

panchith thiruvatip pinnaithan kaathalan

paathamnNaNNaa

vanchark kariya iraamaa Nnuchanpukaz anRiyenvaay

konchip paravakil laathu enna vaazvinRu kootiyathE! 28

 

SarvEshwaran Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan who fought

with the curel and crooked kamsan, is precisely

opposite to the nature of Kamsan in all respects. He

is Nimalan- blemishless- faultless. He is in love with

the soft-natured (like that of cotton) tender footed

Nappinaai PiraaTTi. Those who do not hold on to the

Lotus Feet of Sriman Narayanan can not even go a step

towards Sri Ramanujacharya. Thus, my mouth will keep

praising Sri Ramanuja only and none else. How have I

been blessed with such a great life! (It is His

Grace!)

 

Right from the day he was born as Devaki puthran,

Kamsan was troubling Kutti KaNNan by sending asurAs

one after the other with an intent to kill. KaNNan –

the most auspicious One- effortlessly finished him off

and did good to him ultimately by sending him to the

upper world; He takes care of and protects those who

have faith in Him and who take refuge in Him;

 

niSAmayathu maam neeLA yadbhOgapatalairDhruvam |

bhAvitham sreenivaasasya bhakthadhOShEdhvadarSanam ||

 

Neela Devi gets her name only because of hiding the

dhosham [defects] of her devotees without them

[defects] being seen by others especially by her

master SRiman Narayanan. She accomplishes this

objective and controls Him with her beautiful brows

and glances and thus KaNNan is in love with Neela

Devi- Nappinnai PiraaTTi.

 

When KaNNan was so easily available, there were still

many who were not devoted to Him and hence due to lack

of devotion towards KaNNan, they were not able to

appreciate the glories and kalyANa guNa of EmperumAnAr

Sri Ramanujacharya as well. My tongue will talk only

about his [Ramanuja’s] glories. This such wonderful,

great life – How am I able to get this effortlessly!

ahO bhaagyam!
