SrI:
SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

Dearest all,

After attaining Paramapadham does one perform
kaimkaryam for Bhagaawaan or kaimkaryam for
Emperumaanaar [Ramanuja]- Why do we argue? Here in
this world, Bhagawath kaimkaryam is the ultimate.
Better than that is BhAgawatha kaimkaryam. The
grandest of all is Acharya kaimkaryam. It is very
explicit here as Kaimkaryam to the Acharya
saarvabhouman Ramanuja is the most important of all.
Because of His kalyANa guNAs, everyone does that and
enjoys doing the same. Thus, Anudhanaar says: seeing
what good the divine naamam of Emperumaanaar has done
to Him, it can be understood by everyone.  

pERonRu maRRillai nin_charaN anRi,ap pERaLiththaR
kaaRonRu millaimaR RachcharaN anRi,en RipporuLaith
thERum avarkkum enakkum unaiththantha chemmaichollaal
kooRum paramanRu iraamaa Nnuchameymmai kooRitilE. 45

There is no other enjoyment for me except for Your
Lotus Feet. And obtaining this enjoyment too is also
by means of taking refuge at Your Lotus feet. You have
blessed this knowledge or realization in those
Bhagawathas who have this truthful jn~Anam and also to
adiyEn who had no such realization or any
jnAnam/qualification. Your mercy and dayA on me is
without expecting anything in return from adiyEn.
aiyO! If I attempt to describe this greatness of such
Greatest compassionate nature, then, words do not come
to my rescue. It is better to simply keep quite, only
thinking silently of Your Greatest merciful nature.
[So, others who have not understood can also be thus
benefited by taking refuge at his feet].

Iraamaanusaa- Oh Ramanuja! 
pERu nin SaraN anRi maRRu illai- Other than your lotus
feet, there is no other goal for me. 
a pERu aLitthaRkku aaRu- a saraN anRi- even for
attaining those Lotus Feet as the Goal, the lotus feet
alone is the means. 
enRu ipporuLai- this truth
thERumavarrkum- those noble ones who have realized the
above truth; 
enakkum um- For me one who has not understood this
truth; 
unai thandha semmai- You have shown Yourself to me and
give me those lotus feet [that most wonderful Aarjava
guNam]; 
meymmai kOORida- to tell the truth?
sollaal kooRum param anRu- Unable to tell the same?
[words do not come to me to express]. 

Your Lotus feet alone are the means and the goal.
[anukalpabhoothamurabhithpadham sathAm ? .SaraNam
yatheendra charaNam vruNeemahE.. Swamy Desika mentions
in YathirAja Sapthathi. 

We adopt Ramanuja's feet as our refuge. Saadhus would
treat Ramanuja's feet as ideal, placing even the
Lord's feet at a second position only. These feet
would secure for the surrendered ones, the three
goals, (Dharma, artha, kaama,) as well as mOksha. They
are potent in correcting tendencies of weaklings.
