Srimathe Ranga Ramanuja Maha Desikaya namaha:
Dear Bhagavathas,
This is the concluding part of the posting on Srirangam Srimath Andavan
Ashramam Acharyas' thanian
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kidambi AppullAr (14)
Thanian :
Yasmaath asmabirethath yathipathi kathitha prakthana prakriyothyath,
karma bramhavamarsa prabhava bahupalam sarthamagrahi sasthram,
tham vishvakbetha vidyasthi pathavishayasstheya bhootham prabhutham
vandhe aathreya ramanuja gurumanagam vathiamsambuvaaham.
Meaning: Ancient systems are Vedic treatises which contain karma kandA and
brahma kandA discussions, giving various purushArthAs and their meaning. This
sAstra, as told by Ramanuja, was received traditionally by Swamy AtrEya
Ramanujar (Appullar) and from him it was received by us. Swamy AtrEeya
Ramanujar, a great and blemish less preceptor, is the storehouse of different
of ways of meditation (32 brahma vidyas and nyAsa vidyas, their content, as
described in Brahma mimaamsA). He is like water bearing clouds for swan like
debaters. Let me prostrate such a great preceptor Sri AtrEya RamanujA.
(courtesy: Dr. P. Ramanujam Bangalore)
(Swans are legendarily afraid of dark clouds ? vAdis are debaters belonging to
the other school of thoughts & are artistically referred here as HamsAs-and
Appullar is referred here as ambuvAhar-rain bearing clouds)
