Iraamaanusa nooRRanthAthi- 76th verse- I am not even considering Srivaikuntam; paaRkadal or ThiruvEnkatam; I would like to be at your feet alone!

[Guest guest]

SrI:

SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

 

Dearest all,

 

Perhaps you have enjoyed at very close quarters Lord

Ranganathan as you are the Chief priest there. That is

the reason for your choice of Ramanuja against the

Lord Ranganathan. Amudhanaar listens to our argument

and replies in this verse:

 

nNinRavaN keerththiyum neeLpunalum,nNiRai vEngatappoR

kunRamum vaikuntha naatum kulaviya paaRkatalum

unRanak keththanai inpan^ tharum_un iNaimalarththaaL

enRanak kum_athu,iraamaa Nnucha!ivai yeentharuLE. 76

 

Oh Sri RamanujA! The ever famous, ever divine, most

popular, the lovely, fertile, endearing to all,

ThirumalA mountain (Where Lord ThiruvEmkatamudaiyaan

stays permanently), the Most Divine Sri vaikuNTam, The

Milky Ocean (ThiruppaaRkadal) where the Lord is having

His Yoga nithrA, with an only thinking of protecting

the universe, - in as much as these Divya Desams give

you an exquisite unlimited pErAnandham (great

happiness), the same amount of bliss comes to me from

dEvarIr's (your) Lotus feet which are Parama bhOgyam

to me. Hence, please bless me with those Lotus Feet

always.

 

Iraamaanusa! - emperumAnArE!

ninRa vaNNkeertthi – eternal, divine, famous

neel punalum- long streams of water and water falls

niRai – filled

vEmkatam – ThiruvEnkatam divya Desam

pon kuNarmum- aprAkrutha vedic mountain [Veda veRRpu];

vaikuntha naadum- SrivaikuNta lokam;

kulaviya paalkadalum- the much sought after and

celebrated PaaRkadal [ksheeraabdhi - milky ocean];

etthanai inbam unthanakku tharum- however much

excitement and joy they would give you;

un iNai thaaL malar – Your pair of lotus feet

en thanakku- adhu- for me, they give me the same

extent of joy and excitement. Hence

ivai eendhau arul- Please bless me with the same and

give them to me [place them on my head]

 

Vedas and all other pramaaNams refer to ThiruvEnkatam

as eternal divya desam and most sacred. It removes all

sins and burns them away. There are divine water falls

in this divya desam. The water falls were broght down

by Sri Varaha murthy from Paramapadham. It grants

mOksham and bhOgam to all devotees. Such a dhivya

desam is a great joy and excitement to you, oh

Ramanuja. The moolam of that mountain –i.e.

Srivaikuntam gives greater joy to davereer. The

ThiruppaRkadal – the place of worship for all rishis,

Devas and the vibbhavam and archais’ moolasthAnam

grants exquisite Anandhanam to you, EmperumanaarE.

 

Summing up of all these aanandhams for you comes to me

from enjoyment of your pair of lotus feet. Hence I am

not looking for these divya desams; I am looking for

only the two lotus feet of yours. Please bless me with

them.
