Iraamaanusa nooRRanthAthi- 39th verse- I have been away so long running behind other things; That's why Emperumaanaar did not approach me

SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

 

Dearest all,

 

Thus Amudhanaar felt bad that all those years had gone

waste in the last verse. Now he adds: Yes. Now I have

realized. The reason for not saving me and enslaving

me so long is: I have been loitering and running

behind materialistic objects; the loving children; the

flower bedecked woman etc.. as the only goals. I was

walking around with I and mine feeling as a ahankaari.

Thus Emperumaanaar waited for an opportune moment for

showering His grace and He did not have the right time

and I did not give him rather any time for

intervention at all- feels Amudhanaar. [more apt for

me- and not for Amudhanaar…]

Oh mind! We have been suffering asking and seeking for

materials, land, progeny, wife, et al, and are

constantly under the pangs of [samsaaric] pains.

Emperumaanaar- Sri Ramanujacharya, intervened and

blessed us mercifully with the right jn~Anam to

understand and get to know of his limitless kalyANa

guNAs only, and removed all our karmic diseases and

sufferings. Who else can protect and save us like what

YathirAjar did? Can we equate him to anyone else at

all? (Absolutely not.)

 

PoruL um- the wealth also;

Pudhalvarum- children also;

Bhoomi um- the property [movable and immovable]

Poonkuzhalaarum- The flower bedecked dark haired

spouse [wife]

 

yE enRu- They alone are the ultimate goals

maruL koNdu- engulfed by such a tremendous dark

ajnAnam

iLaikkum namakku nenjE! – having suffered so long, oh

mind [for us], tell

maRRu uLaar thaam O?- Is there anyone else who can

save us from such a suffering? [None.]

iruL koNda- the cause of ignorance or darkness arising

out of ajnAnam

vemthuyar- the terrible sufferings and sorrows

maaRRi- are now burnt and thus removed..

eer il- never ceasing

than perum pugazhE theruLum theruL thandhu- blessing

us with the appropriate jnAnam that enables us to

understand His wonderful kalyANa guNAs; keerrtthi

[fame]; Bhagavath, Bhaagawatha glories etc…

thandhu- having given such a blessing in this

samsaaram and making it grow;

Iraamaanusar seyyum sEmangaL- Swami Ramanauja’s such

merciful deeds– we need only that for ever.

 

Not for us alone. He changes everyone’s past life that

is full of paapams and burns them; He changes their

ajnAnam and saves them. Thus His fame and keertthi

spreads across the country. Everyone is now getting

blessed. He alone is the savior for us. Is there

anyone else who can do such deeds? None at all.

 

If we approach others, the materialistic goals would

only grow and continue and sufferings would get

accumulated. .when will they ever end? That’s why so

many years – we have been suffering… Oh mind,

understand that.
