SrI:

SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

 

Dearest all,

 

EmperumAnAr’s main objective was to let everyone on

the world know the real entity [tattva], the means

[hitham] and the purusharttham [ultimate goal].

Depending on the individual capacity, Swami blesses

these appropriately. – says Amudhanar.

72. Due to His grace, Sri Ramanujacharya did the

following: He completely conquered those who immersed

themselves in non vedic arguments and religions and

confused the world; He blessed, conducted and

performed the most truthful Vedic way of Life. Such

Greatest Ramanuja, has placed this lowly self- me-

among those great scholars and Srivaishnava

Bhagawathas,(who took refuge at his Lotus feet out of

great bhatkti towards him and praised him ) in such a

way indicating " he is also one among them " . What a

mercy! What a dayA! What a grace! (adadaaaa..)

 

theeya samayam kalakarai – those other avaidika

religious people who confuse others

kaitthanan- were rejected; [by Ramanuja]

kaasinikku e- on this whole earth

thooya- the purest

maRai neRi thannai- the vedic religious ways

uytthanan- were expounded and re-established

enRu unni uLLam neyttha- thinking of his such merciful

acts and other kalyANa guNAs, enjoying and melting in

their hearts with reverence and acharya bhakti

anbOdu- with intense love and preethi for him

[Ramanuja]

irundhu yEtthum- sing in praise of him always

niRai pugazhOrdan – with such greatest scholar

sishyas’ group

ennai vaitthanan- placed me in their midst

idhu iraamansian mikka vaNmai – This speaks of Sri

Ramanuja’s audhaarya guNa.

 

Few statements of Vedas were not taken out of context

and rejecting other statements as either false or

wrong is not the correct interpretation; taking

cognizance of all statements as true and pure, Swami

EmperumAnAr established his doctrine [ which is

nothing but expounding the predecessors like Sage

Vyasa, Tankar, Dramidar, Sri Nathamuni, Sri

Yamnunacharya. Thus he rejected the KuDhrushti

mathams.

 

He also placed this lowliest self in the midst of

greatest scholar sishyas of his and further, he has

also instructed me to sing in praise of him in these

verses. What an audharya guNA of his!
