Iraamaanusa nooRRanthAthi- 90th verse- Pay your obeisance and respects to Ramanuja and His sishyas! Else be doomed!

[Guest guest]

SrI:

SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

 

Dearest all

 

Thus though it is really vivEkam not to attempt to

praise Ramanuja because it is difficult to praise him

fully, but one should try to praise him as he is our

acharya saarvabhouman. And those who praise are to be

revered and respected. If not, it would only be

darkness.

EmperumAnAr who removes the future births of all his

sishyas who think of him and who surrender to him as

the only refuge, is not praised by some; In this vast

world, EmperumAnAr Ramanuja accepts me the lowliest

self as the worthy one to be saved and ruled. What a

great daya of his!

 

He came in search of me and saved me. He deserves to

be sung in kaavyams; if not at least few verses. Or if

someone is not capable, at least one should pay

respect to these great mahaaans who attempt to praise

him and sing verses in praise of Ramanuja. Alas! These

people are not doing that even. They are going to be

doomed as they do not believe in Ramanuja’s greatness

nor his sishyas'.

 

piRaviyai neekkum piraanai- This Master who destroys

all our future births and enables all his sishyas

attain moksham [by performing Prapatti]

ninaiyaar- if one does not consider him so[as his

master]

enai aLa vandha irmaanusanai- the one who has appeared

and taken this avathAram to rule and save even this

lowliest self like me [and about him]

iru kavigaL punaiyaar- if people do not compose verses

or kaavyams

punaiyum periyavar – those great mahaans who sing

poems

thaaLgaLil poo thodaiyal vanaiyaar- those who do not

offer garnlands for those great mahaan’s lotus feet

and thus do not give respect to Ramanuja thereby

maandhar- such lowly persons

marul surandhu – not only do they get spoiled and

doomed; they bring others into the world of ignorance

and darkness as well

e neeL nilatthil piRappil varundhuvar- due to their

births thus, they fall into severe suffering.

 

Hence, like Ramanuja, one should pay respects to those

who praise him as well. If one performs saranagati at

his [Ramanuja’s] feet, he would enable us attain

moksham for sure. One should rest assured of that and

have maha viswasam. One should feel grateful and feel

great of his daya on sishyas and his abundant mercy on

them. One should praise and pay respects to those who

sing in praise of him. If not, it would tantamount to

asahya apachaaram [of not understanding and belittling

Ramanuja’s greatness and his kalyANa guNas]. It will

be suicidal.
