Iraamaanusa nooRRanthAthi- 101st verse- The Great scholars; prime sishyas praise Your guNAs; I too do... [what a belittling of your greatness!]

SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

 

Dearest all,

 

Only after getting rid of the karmic diseases, and get

out of the prakrithi sambandham, only then can one

attain the uninterrupted service and enjoyment of

Acharyan ThiruvaDi and PerumAL ThiruvaDi. Why did he

not ask for the removal of these karmic diseases then?

Here is the response- perhaps.

 

mayakkum iruvinai valliyiR pooNtu mathimayangith

thuyakkum piRaviyil thOnRiya ennaith thuyarakaRRi

uyakkoNtu nalkum iraamaa Nnucha!enRa thunnaiyunni

nNayakkum avarkki thizukkenpar, nallavar enRumnNainthE

(101)

 

That which grows the ajnAnam; that which immerses us

in the ocean of samsaaric afflictions; that which

pushes me into the darkness of ignorance – i.e. the

birth in this prakrithi- is where I am born. Removing

these karmic diseases and saving me is what

EmperumAnAr is upto. – Thus I uttered in praise of

your pAvanam- the ability to remove the paapams. There

are very many who immerse themselves in your kalyANa

guNAs at all times and are resplendent with acharya

bhakthi. My singing in praise of you only belittles

your glories. Where am I and where are they!- is the

meaning to be interpreted.

 

mayakkum iru vinai – the cause for ignorance and

ajnAnam- karmic diseases- puNya paapams

valliyil pooNdu- entrapped in the cuffs of samsaaric

afflictions

mathi mayangi thuyakkum piRaviyil– buddhi ajnAmam

grows in these births

thOnRiya ennai- born in such births from time

immemorial

thuyar agaRRi – removal of all these karmic diseases

and future births in these samsaaric world;

uyakkoNdu- saving me

nalgum- blessing me and loving me so endearingly

iraamaanusa- is Ramanuja only.

enRadhu idhu – thus when I utter for having removed my

paapms and saved me – in praise of Ramanuja [is

nothing compared to]

unni unni- immersing oneself again and again thinking

of Ramanuja,

enRum naindhu- melting in their hearts always thinking

of Acharyan

nayakkumavarrku- desirously talk about him

izhukku aagum – this [my praising you] belittles such

glorifications of those mahAthmAs who are ardent

sishyas and who shine with acharya bhakthi

enbar nallOr- scholars and elders will tell.

 

Great scholars, prime sishyas, ordinary disciples

everyone immerses themselves in the enjoyment of Sri

Ramanuajcharya’s divine dhivya mangaLa vigraham – the

most beautiful ThirumEni, his kalyANa guNAs etc.. If

they ever think in between about the reoval of their

paapams, and the SrivaikuNta praapthi and wonder if

Acharyan’s avathAram is for that alone- then it

becomes the topic for mockery as it belittles

acharyan’s glories. Hence it is better to forget those

byproducts and concentrate and focus only on acharya

anubhavam and nothing else. Not that those are NOT

required. They indeed are and that is the main cause

for surrendering to acharyan’s lotus feet. But once

one realizes the acharyan’s glories, then one can NOT

think of anything else.
