Iraamaanusa nooRRanthAthi- 86th verse- Ramanuja's disciples are my masters!

[Guest guest]

SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

 

Dearest all,

 

Amudhanar explains the fruit of his a~jnAnam being

cleared in his case.

 

paRRaa manicharaip paRRi,ap paRRu vitaathavarE

uRRaa renavuzan ROtinNai yEnini, oLLiyanNool

kaRRaar paravum iraamaa Nnuchanaik karuthumuLLam

peRRaar evar,ava remmain^in RaaLum periyavarE. 86

 

Earlier, Amudnaar mentioned that there is no other

hold for him except the feet of all those who are the

sishyas of EmperumAnAr. Now he says: I was thinking

about those who are deeply immersed in “other”

vishayms; hereafter I will not. “ whoever thinks and

contemplates on EmperumAnAr’s glories, they are my

rulers and masters

 

Holding onto some useless folks as the only refuge and

I considered those people [who hold on like that] as

my relations, friends etc.. and followed them in all

walks of life. If I was with them, I used to feel

happy; and when they are away, felt sad and miserable.

Hereafter I would not be misled so.

 

Those scholars and jnAnis who are well aware of

tattva, hitham and purushartthams [entity, way and

goal] clearly have taken refuge at the feet of

EmperumAnAr and always think of Him in their minds.

They are blessed to be having such a mind that always

thinks of Ramanuja. They are the great mahathmas who

are capable of ruling me as my masters

 

ini- after being blessed with clearer jnAnam [now]

patraa manisarai- incapable people [whocan not protect

themselves leave alone others]

patri- held as if they are going to save me… [in

crisis]

a patru vidaadhu – without letting off that hold

avarai uRRaar ena uzhanRu – considering or misled to

think that they are going to save me or protect me and

wandered everywhere;

Odi naiyEn- went from one to the other and searched

and exhausted completely

NOW

oLLiya nool – shining, glowing proofs – authoritative

scriptures- Vedas

kaRRaar paravum- those scholars who have learnt those

vedas and saasthras and they praise and declare that

these vedanthic truths are unambiguously explained

only by this Acharyan

Iraamanusanai- Ramanuja and about him

karudhum uLLam peRRaar yavar- whoever thinks and

meditates on Ramanuja in their minds at all times;

avar ennai aaLum periyavar- those mahaans are capable

of ruling me and utilizing me at their disposal.

 

Even if we hold on to them to save us, they are not

capable of saving us; I held on to them as if they are

going to protect me at all times. Whenever they did

not, I used to shift from one to the other. I was

wandering everywhere thus. These devathAntharams are

even better off than these people. At least they like

the attempt to help those who take refuge at their

feet. These people did not even like me. We have left

even those devathantharams.. why to hold on to

ungrateful human beings hereafter?

 

If someone meditates and praises Ramanuja, they are my

refuge; they are my masters; they are the ones whom I

will hold onto. They are my rulers. Even if they think

of Ramanuja, that is enough. They are mahaanubhaavars

for me. avar periyavar.
