SrI:
SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

Dearest all,

Last verse- Amudhanaar said: with his fame spread
across the whole earth. Everyone came to know of
Acharya saarvabhouman due to his unambiguous
philosophy and based on true purport of Vedas; Now- he
elaborates; he explains why? and how. 

aRputhan chemmai iraamaa Nnuchan,ennai aaLavantha
kaRpakam kaRRavar kaamuRu cheelan karuthariya
paRpal luyir_kaLum pallula kiyaavum paranathennum
nNaRporuL thannai,in^ naanilath thEvanthu naattinanE.

The most merciful Sri Ramanujacharya, who had come to
my place searching for adiyEn, only to enslave me; who
has got such a glorious nature of stooping down so low
to my level (such a sowseelyam, because of which even
the learned scholars fall in love with him); who has
got such great nature of not seeing the defects or
faults of others and moves with them in a fashion
suitable and likeable to them., established the
Greatest most important truth that the Paraman Sriya:
Pathi Sriman Narayanan alone is the SeshI (Master) and
all the worlds, the innumerable, countless AthmAs
(beings) living in them are all sEshans (servants).
Even when none sought or asked for this; still,
YathirAjar mercifully established this truth for our
benefit. 

aRputhan- the most wonderful One- resplendent one
shining with sarva acharya lakshaNam; 
semmai- unison in mind, body and speech- all focus
towards the Only One; 
ennai Ala vandha kaRpakam- the One who came to rule
and enslave me[ He is the walking kaRpaka tree
[celestial tree that grants everything]
kaRRavar kaamuRu seelan- the scholars adore Him and
worship Him for his most auspicious kalyANa guNAs; 
Iraamanusan vandhu- Such greatest Ramanuja took this
avathAram
karudha ariya- the concept that other religions could
not arrive at or understand this well; 
palapal uyirgaLum pal ulagu yaavum- all beings; and
all worlds [praakrutha, apraakrutha samasatha
chethana, achethanas]
paranadhu ennum than poruL thannai- they all the
Supreme Lordship Sriman Narayanan?s property for
serving Him only and for His pleasure; 
innaanilatthae naattinaan- This Philosophy ? He
established or expounded in all four corners of the
world.  

Karudha ariya- the ineffable- the most difficult to
interpret the sacred Vedas and Upanishads as compiled
by Veda Vyasa in such a way all statements mentioned
in this Truthful Vedas don?t contradict each other and
they supplement each other. The most compassionate
acharya and most merciful One Sri Ramanuajcharya
expounded this most unambiguous VisishtAdvaita
Vedantha [which was already elaborated by Tankar,
Dramida, Baaruchi and later by Sri Namamazhwar, Sriman
Nathamuni, Sri Yamunaachaarya].

The word karudhariya- the difficult to follow- or
interpret correctly- can mean the jeevas [being], the
cosmic matter [achethanas] or the Iswara [God]
tattvam.
aRputhan- Only the SadhAchARyan- One who shines with
complete Acharya lakshaNam would be admired and
adored, respected by everyone in the world; especially
scholars who are well versed in Vedantha would
appreciate and are overwhelmed with such unambiguity
in the wonderful explanation of this Acharya
saarvabhouman. Also His sowseelyam; sowlabhyam
stooping down to the level of his sishyas regardless
of their jnAnam; His dayA on all His sishyas and also
towards every being [samOham sarva bhoothEshu] makes
then fall in love with this greatest acharya. 

Hence kaRRavar kaamuRu seelan- They just love Him for
His wonderful qualities. 

They don?t find such kalyANa guNAs in anyone else. 
He has declared the tattva in such crystal clear terms
as if He has seen them all. Some mistake even the
acehthanas [non-beings] as beings and attach
themselves to it.  

He is the One who declared the Vedic truth: 

All the worlds are true; all beings are true; the
Brahman Sriman Narayanan has them all as His property;
They all exist for Him and for His pleasure; He is the
master[Seshi].. Thus the Parathvam is Sriman Narayana,
the consort of Lakshmi, the master of all entities. He
is the Supreme Being Isawara. All fully depend upon
Him for their existence. It is His essential nature to
the sustenance of all entities. He resides inside and
outside all entities, controlling them by His will. He
is the possessor of all entities. All entities exist
solely for His pleasure. He is The Supreme One who is
beyond the limits of length, time, and quantification
applicable to lower entities. He is also omniscient,
omnipotent, immensely compassionate, the protector of
the Universe, the sole benefactor, the one who bestows
salvation, The One experienced in absolute Bliss in
SrivaikuNtam by mukthas and Nithya suris.  

Other religions think and interpret in different
manners taking few of Upanishad statements as True and
rejects other statements that appear to be
contradicting with their interpretations. 

With Sareera Athma bhAvam, Ramanuja is able to connect
all of those sruthi vaakyam, namely bhEdha, abhEdha
and ghataka sruthis and establish with proof in its
entirety. He was IsAvAssyam.. Thus having established
them all in crystal clear terms, He has engulfed the
whole world with his fame and He shined like the Lord
Himself.
