[Guest guest]

SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

 

Dearest all,

Hereafter, there is no vipareetha jnAnam [wrong

knowledge], anjnAnam [lack of or no knowledge].. No

akruthya karaNam [no more of doing what needs to be

avoided by saasthrAs] or No kruthya akaraNam [No more

of NOT doing what needs to be done according to

saasthrAs] because I am blessed with Sri Ramanuja

thiruvadi sambandham and am always thinking and

contemplating on His thirunamam, kalyana guNas and

lotus feet and hence there is no way that any more

paapam that can get near me… and hence no more

“valvinai… “- says Amudhanar.

35. I shall never ever seek any other (demi) God. I

shall never sing or praise others like what other

poets sing the lowly human beings as " Oh Merciful

clouds! Oh Storm! etc.. etc.. " . I shall NEVER ever

forget the Lotus Feet of Sri Ramanujacharya, that are

pristinely pure, that are Parama bhOogyam for those

who take refuge at them , and that belong to the

Greatest Sri Ramanujacharya, who simply melts with

love and bhakti when he simply utters the Divine Name

of Sweet Sri RanganAthan. Thus, How will the karmic

diseases trouble me hereafter

 

Naal nilatthu- the four directional world where people

live in;

Or deivam- any other [demi] god;

nayavEn- will never even pray to…

sila maanidatthai- those lowkika human beings [who do

not have vishNu bhakti]

puyal E ena- On benovelent dark cloud like karuNa

moorrthi- like that

kavi- poems

pORRi seyyEn- will not be composed or sung by me..

pon arangam- [in this enjoyable [bhOgya] Sri Rangam

mayal E perugum- love and dayA flows ceaselessly

Iraamanusan- Empeurmaanaar [Ramanuja]

Mannu - [who is] firm on protection of his disciples

and devotees

Maamalar- the lotus feet [of his]

ayarEn- will never ever forget…

[i- who is in that state of mind]

aruvinai- The cruel karmic diseases and sins

ye aaRu= How will it enter into

adarppathu- [and] destroy me..

achyutha padhaambhuja yugma rukma vyaamOham.. flows at

Ramanuja’s Lotus feet.

After the entire parampara upto Sri Ramanuja,

KooratthAzhwAn composes a special slOka for Sri

Ramanujacharya alone.]

I take refuge at the feet of our guru Bhagavaan

Ramanuja, that ocean of mercy who, infatuated with the

gold-like, lotus feet of the Lord, considered all else

as mere blades of grass.

ParamAthmani yOrakthO virakthO(S)paramAthmani- Due to

His jnAna, Bhakthi, VairAgyam, Sri Ramanujacharya

considered only the lotus feet of the Lord Sriman

Narayanan as the means and the Goal- for that matter-

everything. Nothing else mattered to him. He is not

interested in others and considers others (material,

sensual pursuits) as thruNam (blade of grass).

Those lotus feet of Ramanuja- I will never ever

forget- says Amudhanar and with that strength, I am

blessed with NO vipareetha jnAnam, ajnAnam, and hence

do not consider any other human beings or devas / demi

gods as the Supreme Lord except for Sri Ranganthan.

There is not a word on “others” any more.. [Not is our

group with SrI Ramanuja sambandham]
