Swami Sri Manaval Mamunikal?s
YATHIRAJA VIMSATI
 
Author: Sri S.Satyamurthi Iyengar
Yatiraja vimsati


Sloka 5

aShTAksharAkhyamanurAjapadatrayArtha *
                niShTAM mamAtra vitarAdya yatIndra nAtha! |
        shiShTAgragaNyajanasevyabhavatpadAbje *
                hR^iShTAstu nityamanubhUya mamAsya buddhiH ||   (5)

 
Oh, Yateendra, my Lord! Please grant unto me, now and here,
Steadfast devotion to the meanings of the three syllables
Of the eight-lettered TIRUMANTRA and let me forever
Revel in the enjoyment of your lotus feet, indeed adorable
By the illustrious stalwarts heading the ranks of righteous.
 


Notes

By Padatrayartanishta is meant steadfast devotion to the triple meanings 
of the said Mantra, namely subservience to none but the Lord, 
dependence on Him solely and service unto Him and His devotees.
In the preceding sloka, service was prayed for and as it is the 
quintessence of ?Tirumantra?, the poet?s mind at once turned on to 
this Mantra and he prays to the great Master (Ramanuja) to vouchsafe 
to him the requisite devotion to translate into practice the triple meanings
 yielded by the said Mantra, as above, with this difference that 
Ramanuja would take the place of the Lord in so far as the poet is concerned.
