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. nNinaiyaar piRaviyai neekkum piraanai,in^ neeNilaththE enaiyaaLa vantha iraamaa Nnuchanai irungavikaL punaiyaar punaiyum periyavar thaaLkaLil poonthotaiyal vanaiyaar piRappil varunthuvar maanthar maruLchuranthE. 90 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.
