Iraamaanusa nooRRanthAthi- 107th verse-even if I am destined to be born again and again, please make me remain affected to your disciples always!

Dearest all

 

Earlier, EmperumAnAr chose to stay with all glories of

Divya Desams in my heart. This jnAnam even after

attaining Paramapadham may linger as well. There is no

doubt about it. Because of my karma vasans and accrued

karma, even if I get very many future births, I only

pray for this constant thought on EmperumAnAr. Not

just that. In all such births, wherever there are

mahaans – with you- as you ardent sishyas and great

bhAgawathas, I should be blessed to serve those

mahaans as well and such thoughts should ever remain

in my heart. My mind should be flooded only with such

thoughts. If that happens, that would be even grander

than the anubhavam at SrivakuNtam- says in this verse.

such lowliest one- myself- in whose heart, you have

come on your own accord and have come to stay and

considering that as the great enjoyment, you relish as

well… oh Ramanuja! Such a sowseelya saagaraa! There is

one thing that I would like to tell… Please permit me

to say this. What is that?- even if I am destined to

get further cycles of birth and death very many times,

filled with grief, diseases, in each body, and perish,

- in spite of all this, all that I plead to you is:

Please make me remain affectionate to only your

disciples and devotees at all times, at all places and

under all circumstances. That is the only goal I want.

 

 

inbu uRRa – with full of love and preethi;

seelatthu – most kalyANa guNArNavan [with most

auspicious attributes]

Iraamanusa! Oh Ramanuja!

solvadhu onRu unDu – there is only one thing that

adiyEn wishes to plead to you; [and that is]

enRum- at all times

e idatthu- under all circumstances and in all places

enbu uRRa nOi- the diseases connected to this body

[full of bones]

udal thORum- bron in such bodies [again and again]

piRandhu iRandhu – being born and dead again and

again;

eNN ariya- innumerous

thunbu uRRu- suffering in each one of such births very

many times

veeyin um- [even if I] perish with all such suffering;

un thoNdarkatkE- only to your disciples and devotees

alone

anbu uRRu- with love and bhakti for them alone

irkkumpadi- to remain like that

ennai aakki – make me so;

angu – to such discplies and devotees

aaL padutthu- [make me] serve them always.

 

It is better not to get any further births at all. But

even if I am destined to get, it is better if I am

blessed to have no diseases at all and be healthy in

mind, heart and body; At least, I can serve the

devotees of Yours with joy and full vigour. But if I

am down with tremendous bodily suffering due to karmic

diseases, and I end up suffering birth after births,

even then, if I can serve the disciples with ecstasy

and joy, I can forget my suffering and be happy. Such

desirous me, shouldn’t I be given an opportunity to

serve the sishyas of yours at all times, and under all

circumstances? Please bless me with that right from

this time onwards.
