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.

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.
