Iraamaanusa nooRRanthAthi- 52nd verse- I am blessed with bhagawath kaimkaryam because of Ramanuja's grace

[Guest guest]

SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

 

Dearest all,

 

On this unqualified and undeserving one- myself-

Ramanuja blessed me with the best of everything; and

the grandest of all- is to bless me with the eternal

kaimkaryam at the lotus feet of Sri RanganAthan.

He saw to it that the other six non-Vedic [avaidika]

religions shiver with his roaring arguments and Vedic

based philosophy. With his enormous fame and

popularity that he had earned, he covered the whole

earth. He entered into me, on his own, out of his

mercy, in spite of my never seeking for the same. He

removed all my karmic diseases and blessed me with the

most beautiful Lotus Feet of Sri RanganAyaki samEtha

Sri RanganAthA of Srirangam and eternal servitude at

His Feet. My Master- Sri Ramanujacharya performed such

wonders.

 

aaRu samayangaL pathaippa- The six religions shivered;

and lost;

paartthan- He just saw to it that it happens [other

non-veidc religions do not flourish]

e paar muzhudhm pugazh koNdu poartthaan- In the whole

workd, his populairy grew due to his unambiguous

philosophy based on true purport of Vedas;

[since he was so great]

punmaiyinEn idai thaan pugundhu- He entered into my

heart on His own accord [in spite of my lowliness]

iru vinai theertthaan- removed all my karmic diseases

[both puNya and paapam – sanchitha karmas which are

virOdhis for kaimkaryams] thereby blessed me with

Bhagavath, BhAgawatha kaimkaryam;

theertthu- having destroyed my karmic diseases

Arangan seyya thaaL iNaiyOdu aartthaan- united me with

the Lotus Feet of Sri RanganAThan by placing myself at

His feet [performing Acharya nishtai]

Ivai Rammanujan seyyum aRpudham- These are the

wonderful deeds of Ramanuja…

 

Unless His merciful glance is powerful enough to

conquer the six religions and crush the non-vedic

other religions, he would not have been able to change

or transform myself. Since his popularity grew to the

whole world, when I got transformed, the world thought

it is natural for myself to get changed as well.

yaSO(S)ham bhavaami brAhmaNAnAm – Thus He is

Parabrahmam Himself being praised by everyone; He

ensured that everyone is aware and is blessed with

VishNu jnAnam. I am thus blessed with not only

Bhagavath kaimkaryam; but also Acharya kaimkaryam.

Before joining him and being blessed by

Ramanujacharya, though I was working as a chief

priest, it was more of an adhikaaram [position] that I

was proud of and not considered the same as the

bhagavath kaimkaryam. With His blessings, now I am

blessed with that mind set.
