SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

 

Dearest all,

 

Last verse- Amudhanaar said: with his fame spread

across the whole earth. Everyone came to know of

Acharya saarvabhouman due to his unambiguous

philosophy and based on true purport of Vedas; Now- he

elaborates; he explains why… and how.

The most merciful Sri Ramanujacharya, who had come to

my place searching for adiyEn, only to enslave me; who

has got such a glorious nature of stooping down so low

to my level (such a sowseelyam, because of which even

the learned scholars fall in love with him); who has

got such great nature of not seeing the defects or

faults of others and moves with them in a fashion

suitable and likeable to them., established the

Greatest most important truth that the Paraman Sriya:

Pathi Sriman Narayanan alone is the SeshI (Master) and

all the worlds, the innumerable, countless AthmAs

(beings) living in them are all sEshans (servants).

Even when none sought or asked for this; still,

YathirAjar mercifully established this truth for our

benefit.

 

aRputhan- the most wonderful One- resplendent one

shining with sarva acharya lakshaNam;

semmai- unison in mind, body and speech- all focus

towards the Only One;

ennai Ala vandha kaRpakam- the One who came to rule

and enslave me[ He is the walking kaRpaka tree

[celestial tree that grants everything]

kaRRavar kaamuRu seelan- the scholars adore Him and

worship Him for his most auspicious kalyANa guNAs;

Iraamanusan vandhu- Such greatest Ramanuja took this

avathAram

karudha ariya- the concept that other religions could

not arrive at or understand this well;

palapal uyirgaLum pal ulagu yaavum- all beings; and

all worlds [praakrutha, apraakrutha samasatha

chethana, achethanas]

paranadhu ennum than poruL thannai- they all the

Supreme Lordship Sriman Narayanan’s property for

serving Him only and for His pleasure;

innaanilatthae naattinaan- This Philosophy – He

established or expounded in all four corners of the

world.

 

Karudha ariya- the ineffable- the most difficult to

interpret the sacred Vedas and Upanishads as compiled

by Veda Vyasa in such a way all statements mentioned

in this Truthful Vedas don’t contradict each other and

they supplement each other. The most compassionate

acharya and most merciful One Sri Ramanuajcharya

expounded this most unambiguous VisishtAdvaita

Vedantha [which was already elaborated by Tankar,

Dramida, Baaruchi and later by Sri Namamazhwar, Sriman

Nathamuni, Sri Yamunaachaarya].

 

The word karudhariya- the difficult to follow- or

interpret correctly- can mean the jeevas [being], the

cosmic matter [achethanas] or the Iswara [God]

tattvam.

aRputhan- Only the SadhAchARyan- One who shines with

complete Acharya lakshaNam would be admired and

adored, respected by everyone in the world; especially

scholars who are well versed in Vedantha would

appreciate and are overwhelmed with such unambiguity

in the wonderful explanation of this Acharya

saarvabhouman. Also His sowseelyam; sowlabhyam

stooping down to the level of his sishyas regardless

of their jnAnam; His dayA on all His sishyas and also

towards every being [samOham sarva bhoothEshu] makes

then fall in love with this greatest acharya.

 

Hence kaRRavar kaamuRu seelan- They just love Him for

His wonderful qualities.

 

They don’t find such kalyANa guNAs in anyone else.

He has declared the tattva in such crystal clear terms

as if He has seen them all. Some mistake even the

acehthanas [non-beings] as beings and attach

themselves to it.

 

He is the One who declared the Vedic truth:

 

All the worlds are true; all beings are true; the

Brahman Sriman Narayanan has them all as His property;

They all exist for Him and for His pleasure; He is the

master[seshi].. Thus the Parathvam is Sriman Narayana,

the consort of Lakshmi, the master of all entities. He

is the Supreme Being Isawara. All fully depend upon

Him for their existence. It is His essential nature to

the sustenance of all entities. He resides inside and

outside all entities, controlling them by His will. He

is the possessor of all entities. All entities exist

solely for His pleasure. He is The Supreme One who is

beyond the limits of length, time, and quantification

applicable to lower entities. He is also omniscient,

omnipotent, immensely compassionate, the protector of

the Universe, the sole benefactor, the one who bestows

salvation, The One experienced in absolute Bliss in

SrivaikuNtam by mukthas and Nithya suris.

 

Other religions think and interpret in different

manners taking few of Upanishad statements as True and

rejects other statements that appear to be

contradicting with their interpretations.

 

With Sareera Athma bhAvam, Ramanuja is able to connect

all of those sruthi vaakyam, namely bhEdha, abhEdha

and ghataka sruthis and establish with proof in its

entirety. He was IsAvAssyam.. Thus having established

them all in crystal clear terms, He has engulfed the

whole world with his fame and He shined like the Lord

Himself.
