Iraamaanusa nooRRanthAthi- 36th verse- GitA saasthraas commented by Sri Ramanuja in unambiguous manner in his gitA bhAshyam

[Guest guest]

SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

 

Dearest all,

 

Five weapons had become Ramanuja – said Amudhanar

earlier. Now he says: AdisEshan's avathAram Balarama's

younger brother [Rama's anujan- younger brother] is

KaNNan; That Ramanujan [KaNNan] himself has now come

in as Our Ramanujan. Sri Krishnan is Ramanuja.. That's

the reason he was able to comprehend exactly on the

right purport of GitA ssaasthrA and blessed us with

the excellent unambiguous commentary on GitA called

GitA Bhashyam.

KaNNapiraan- the SarvEshwaran- the Sarva sEshi- the

One who has the Most strongest ChakrAyudham that can

destroy the enemies completely, that day, explained to

Arjunan (who was completely confused at to what and

what not is to be done?) the rich, deep, esoteric down

-to -earth practical philosophy, in His GitOpadEsam.

He established the Vedic truths (that are hidden like

the most valuable gems at the bottom of deep ocean) in

simple verses in GitA and explained to Arjunan (as a

vyAjam) for the benefit of the world. Ramanujan -

Emperumaanaar, later, in order to alleviate the

sufferings of the world, established the same truths

in an easy-to-consume fashion for the benefit of the

world in GitA Bhashya. Through His merciful compassion

/nature, He has offered Himself to me to take refuge

at His Lotus feet. It is His

Greatness and nature.

Adal koNda- Strongest [midukkudaiya]

nEmiyan- ChakrAyudha

Aar uyir nAThan- Swami- SarvEshwaran- The Lord of all

beings;

anRu- that day in KurukshEtha battle [when Arjuna was

confused and

became a prapannan – surrendering to Krishna]

AraNam sol kadal- The ocean of words namely Vedas

kOnda- The depth of which

oL porul_ the invaluable gems are there [in those

depths]

kaNdu aLippa pinnum - which were made visible and

exposed to and made

available [by bringing out those gems] in this GitA

[and still]

kaasiniyOr- the samsaaric jeevaathmaas [without

knowing the true

purport of this]

idarin kaNN veezhndhida- immersing themselves in

dhukkam [sorrowful

lives]

a oN poruL- That invaluable meaning and purport that

was shown that day by KaNNan [Ramanujan] – the same

meaning;

kOndu- again was brought out

avar pin- went behind these jeevathmaas [again to tell

them]

thaanum padarum guNan- With tremendous dayA [dayaika

sindhO:] on them, mixed with them who are on this

earth;

idhu yE em- Thus the avathAram [of Krishnan] is Our

Iraamanusan thanpadi- Ramanujacharya.

All the Upanishads are the cows and the son of the

king of Cowherds is the milk man. Arjuna is the calf,

men of refined intellect are the drinkers and the

supreme nectar milked by Krishna is the Gita.

All the Vedas sing the glory of Lord Madhava directly

or indirectly. The Upanishad portions of the Vedas

sing His praise directly, the other portions sing

about Him indirectly. [Maadhavan pEr solvadhE Otthin

surukku- Uttering the name Maadhavaa- is the essence

and summary of All Vedas. –says AzhwAr]

It is the only Mantram, which can surely vanquish

one's(inner) enemies, which is identified as the most

sacred by the Upanishads,transports us across the

Ocean of Samsaara, drives away the thick and dark

clouds of ignorance and despair, helps to accumulate

all types of wealth, acts as a sure cure for the

poisonous bites of the serpent known as Worldly

afflictions; o, my tongue, Please recite without

interruption the holy mantram known as Sri Krishna,

which makes one's life worth living.

 

[extract From Sri Satakopan mama's wonderful write up]

Most brilliant GiTA was wrongly interpreted to mean so

may ambiguous truths and meanings; KaNNan Himself thus

reappeared to explain what He had meant.. first as

YamunAcharya [Yamunai thuRaivan] to tell in Summary

form as Geethartha sangraham and later as Ramanuja to

explain

in full.
