SrI: SrImathE Ramanujaya namah: Dearest all, The incorrigible sinner, mahaa paapi -I was. Hence I had apprehension as to what would happen to Sri Ramanuja because of my association. In fact, it proved otherwise and his fame and popularity has grown worldwide now. kozunthuvit tOtip patarumveNG kOLvinai yaal,nNirayath thazunthiyit tEnaivanN thaatkoNta pinnum, arumunivar thozunthavath thOnem iraamaa Nnuchan_thol pukazchutarmik kezunthathu,ath thaalnNal lathichayaNG kaNta thirunNilamE. 61 Emperumaanaar- Sri Ramanujacharya shines so gracefully that those Bhagawathas, (who always think that Emperumaan Sriman Narayanan alone is everything to them) come to him, take refuge at his Lotus feet and pay obeisance to him. But, Sri Ramanuja, the most merciful One came on his own to me, (the lowliest self, who was deeply immersed in the cruel karma bhandhams, and in the world of tremendous sorrows and samsaaric afflictions) and enslaved me. What a KaaruNyam and daya! Not just that. He has gone searching for others (like me) if any one else is left out for being saved. Thus, the whole earth is awe-struck with his greatest dayA on humanity. kozhundhuvittu Odip padaraum ? the tender leaves grow and the creeper spreads everywhere to all nook and corners; vem koL vinaiyaan- such creeper of unpardonable paapams grew to such huge extent ? such a mahaa paapi [I am] nirayatthu- in this samsaaric world; azhundhiyittaenai- immersed in vandhu ALkoNda pinnum- came on His own to save and rule me and accepted me as His own; aru munivar thavatthOn- The Sage and Saint Ramanuja who is worshipped by the bhAgawathas of highest scholarship and devotion towards Sriman Narayanan em rAmAnusan- Our [my] Ramanujacharya thol pugazh sudar mikku eyzhundhadhu- His fame and popularity grows even farther and more now; atthAl- hence iru nilam adhisayam kaNdadhu-this vast huge world is overwhelmed seeing this wonderful Acharya?s glories [and gets benefited] The world is wonderstruck ? also can be interpreted as: By mixing and saving such lowliest sishya [me], the world thinks- what a great wonder! Even this person has been saved by Ramanuja! That means anyone can be saved. [with a naichyAnusanthAnam by Amudhanaar] I thought and had an apprehension that by saving me and mixing with me, he will be blamed; his fame will go down; he will be talked about in negative sense, etc.. But on the contrary, that act of his ? coming on own towards me and saving me out of great compassion towards me has increased his fame and popularity to a large extent worldwide. How?- He has ordained me to take over as the Chief priest of Srirangam and he streamlined the procedures of the worship and the puja rituals [koil ozhugu] at the temple. Thus, all other temples also subsequently followed suit.. The fame and popularity of Acharya has thus spread everywhere. He has also announced that I am the Periya koil Nambhi and placed this lowliest soul at higher pedestal as the Chief priest. Thus his dayA and vaathsalyam has been known across the country everywhere. It is thus clear from this that even the lowliest one can be uplifted and saved by this most merciful Acharyan. Here the word nirayatthu means- this samsaaric world which is like narakam [hell] and does not actually mean the hell. For a mumukshu, even the heaven is equal to and hence to be considered as hell.
