Iraamaanusa nooRRanthAthi- 84th verse- I can not do justice to praising Ramanuja's kalyANa guNAs and his greatness!

SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

 

Dearest all,

 

How easily and effortlessly he was blessed- Amudhanar

explains.

 

kaNtukoN tEnem iraamaa NnuchanRannai kaaNtalumE

thoNtukoN tEn_avan thoNtar_poR RaaLil_en thollai

viNtukoN tEn_avan cheerveLLa vaariyai vaaymatuththin

RuNtukoN tEn,innam uRRana Othil uvappillaiyE. 84

 

Now I have seen my Ramanuja; what a great sight it is!

That makes me desire and seek to serve the golden feet

of Bhagawathas - his devotees. And here, today I from

the midst of all Bhagawathas take just a sip from this

ocean of auspicious qualities of YathirAjA and all my

past karmaas are destroyed. Alas! There is no end -if

I attempt to say anymore.

 

em iraamansan thannai kaNdu koNdEn – I have been

blessed to see our Ramanuja and seek his sambandham.

kaaNdalum E – upon seeing him [having been blessed

with his darsan]

avan thoNdar pon thaaLil thoNdu koNdEn- I am indeed

blessed to perform kaimkaryam at the most enjoyable

feet of his disciples [Ramanuja bhakthAs]

enthollai vem nOi viNdu koNdEn – my anAdhi cruel

paapams [sins] accrued from time immemorial -are now

crushed and hence they would not bear fruits;

avanseer veLLam vaariyai inRu vaay madutthu unDu

koNdEn – I am indeed extremely blessed to sip a

mouthful from the enormous flood of most divine and

enjoyable kalyANa guNAs [auspicious qualities or

attributes] of EmperumAnAr by singing these 108 verses

on his guNAs.

Innam muRRana Odhil ulappu illai – If I need to utter

anymore, there is no end.

 

The day, I saw the most beautiful and divine

EmperumAnAr, on that day itself, I wished to have the

acharya sambandham. That’s whay in order to get near

him, I sought for the closer circle of his sishyas as

purushakaram [mediatrix] for recommendation and

prostrated at their feet. Thus I was blessed with the

buddhi [which too by the grace of EmperumAnAr himself]

to join as a sishsya of Swami KooratthAzhwAn. By

serving him, I was blessed to have him as my acharyan.

Thus EmperumAnAr has become my paramacharyan. Thus I

am able get all my incorrigible paapmas that have

accrued from time immemorial are all destroyed now and

no longer I need to suffer from their fruits.

 

Not just this anishta nivrtthi; listen to this ishta

praapthi which is the most important one. Being caught

immersed in the ocean and enormous flood of

EmperumAnAr most enjoyable kalyAna guNAs [sowsselyam,

sowlabhyam, swamithvam, vaathsalyam, audhaaryam,

kaaruNyam, ghambeeryam, etc], I am blessed to have

begun these verses on his kalyANa guNAs. I do not know

if I can ever do justice to drinking this ocean of

klayANa guNAs and try to take s sip from the ocean by

singing these verses and enjoy. Somehow compose these

few verses. [and adiyEn attempts to translate the same

as well with the same desire..] I can never say and do

justice saying all these in mere words. All because of

his kalyANa guNAs. I have not done anything. All these

started from the darsanam of his.
