Iraamaanusa nooRRanthAthi- 108th verse [Last verse] - Bhagavath, BhAgawatha, AchArya kaimkaryam is possible only with Mahalakshmi's grace only!

[Guest guest]

SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

 

Dearest all

 

The limitless wealth Bhagavath, BhAgawatha, Acharya

kaimkarya is possible only with paripoorNa anugraham

of Periya PiraaTTi Sri Mahalakshmi.

 

That is why Amudhanaar starts of the verses with

poomannu maadhu porundhiya maarbhan.. Nammazhwar

performs saranagthi to Dhivya Dampathi.. with his

wonderful verse,..

 

agalagillEn iRaiyum enRu alarmEl mangai uRai maarbhA!

Pugal onRu illaa adiyEn nin adikkeezh amarndhu

pugundhEnE " .

 

She along with PerumAL is the Parathvam and the Eka

sEshi for us. Eka Seshitvam refers to both Sri Devi

and Bhagawan together as the means and the goal

(upAyam and Upeyam )

 

Sri MahAlakshmi has got all the attributes, the

thirumEni, its specialties, the kalyANa GuNAs, which

the Lord likes always; Not even a second, she gets

separated from the Lord; Blemishless; the pattamahishi

of dEvAthi dEvan; the mother for the enire universe;

and my mother too; Such greatest mother Sri

mahAlakshmi- I, who has no other shelter or protector,

take refuge at her lotus feet. – says Ramanuja who

immerses himself in Nammazhwar verses.

 

All saasthrAs and pramANams that declare about the

Lord are equally reflecting on PiraaTTi also..

whenever and wherever the Lord pervades and whatevere

form that He takes in Para, vyooha, vibhava, haardha

and archa roopams, PiraaTTi is with Him inseparably as

She is nithyaanapaayinee. Yamunna, Ramanuja muni have

declared this in their works.

 

That is the very purpose Ramanuja performs his

saranagathi on a Panguni Utthiram day in front of Sri

Ranganayaki and Sri Ranganathan.. Ramanujacharya,

requests the Mother in SaraNAgathy Gadyam,

addressing Her with Her all auspicious qualities with

which she

surpasses Her Consort even. She commands the Nithya

suris, like Anantha, Garuda, Vishvaksenar et al for

kaimkaryams. She instructs even Devendra, Brahma

Rudran and other devas. Not only that. She is the

Master even for their spouses – say Yamunacharya in

Chauthsloki.

Ramanujacharya surrenders to this Supreme Divine

Mother (Deva Deva Divya Mahishi), as the Mother of the

Universe (akilajaganmaathaa) ; but immediately adds..

``my Mother'' (asmadh maatharam). Indeed, her

compassion is unlimited. [padmapriyE, padmini padma

hasthE viswapriyE, vishNu manO(S)nukoolE.. tvad paadha

padmam mayisannidattvaa. ]

 

Hence Amudhnaar pleads now to Periya PiraaTTi Sri

Mahalakshmi for Her blessing him to have the Lotus

Feet of Ramanuja always on his [amudhanaar’s] head. Or

if we take refuge at the feet of Ramanuja, we would

also be blessed to praise PiraaTTi and be at Her Lotus

Feet. That would fetch us the Lord’s Lotus feet as

well [as mentioned in the first verse of Ramanuja

nootranthAthi]

 

angayal paayvayal thennaraNG kan,aNi aakamannum

pangaya maamalarp paavaiyaip pORRuthum paththiyellaam

thangiya thennath thazaiththun^eNY chE!n^an^

thalaimichaiyE

pongiya keerththi iraamaa nuchanatip poomannavE. 108

 

oh mind! Similar to those who are desirous of placing

the lotus flower of the divine feet of Ramanuja’s for

adorning their heads, we would also desire to adorn

our heads and in order to get that bliss, all that we

need to do is: to hold onto the divine lotus feet of

the most compassionate Mother Periya PiraaTTi Sri

Ranganayaki the divine consort of Lord Sri Ranganantha

of the most beautiful Srirangam divya desam,

surrounded by the fertile fields full of waters.

 

nenjE- my mind!

pongiya keertthi – the ever growing fame and vaibhavam

of

iraamaanusan – Ramanuja’s

adi poo – Lotus Feet

num thalai misai- on our heads

patthi ellaam thangiyadhu – Bhagavath, bhAgawatha,

acharya bhakti are all resident

enna- [everyone should be] praising so;

thazhaitthu manna- [like that it] should ever grow and

grow and such a state should prevail always; [or

because it has grown so]

am kayal pay vayal- the beautiful fishes jump with joy

in the fertile fields of

then arangan – Lord Ranganathan of Srirangam

aNi aagam- in His divine chest

mannum- the one who resides there permanently

pankayam maa malar –born out of lotus flower

paavaiyai – Periya PiraaTTi

pOtrudhum- Let us praise Her glories and pray to Her,

the most merciful and most compassionate Mother.

 

If we place the lotus feet of Ramanuja’s on our heads

always, we would be certainly be blessed with

Bhagawath, BhAgawatha and Acharya bhakti growing

intensely in us.

 

sravaNam keertthanam smaraNam paadha sEvanam |

archanam vandhanam dAsyam sakhyam aathmaniVedhanam ||

 

there are thus different kinds of bhaktyi [devotion]

and all of such bhakti would come and apply here as

well. Juts like praying to and taking refuge at

Acharyan in order to get bhakti for EmperumAn – the

Lord Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayana, one can also pray

to the Divine Lord Sri Ranganathan to bless us with

acharya bhakti and be at the feet of acharya forever.

Grander and more appropriate is to plead and pray to

the most merciful Mother– Sri Mahalakshmi who is the

compassion personified. Without any prayer, there ca

not be any fruits. Hence we have prayed to and pleaded

PiraaTTi, the fruits are sure to be attained. There is

no doubt about it.

 

ankayalgaL- the beautiful fishes- are the devotees and

bhAgawathas who never ever leave the Srirangam Divya

Desam.

 

This verse concludes the 108 verses of Ramanusa

nootranthAthi.

It is asmadhAchaaryan parama krupai that adiyEn could

somehow complete the same. Anything found good in it,

is entirely due to the most brilliant commentaries of

Sri UttamUr Swami and of Sri Prathvadhi Bhayankaram

aNNan Swami and the sweet divine chaste tamil pasurams

of Amudhanar’s. All errors, mistakes and faults are

entirely due to my lack of understanding..

 

Thanks to everyone for the patience and constant

encouragement.
