SrI:
SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

Dearest all

Thus though it is really vivEkam not to attempt to
praise Ramanuja because it is difficult to praise him
fully, but one should try to praise him as he is our
acharya saarvabhouman. And those who praise are to be
revered and respected. If not, it would only be
darkness. 

nNinaiyaar piRaviyai neekkum piraanai,in^ neeNilaththE
enaiyaaLa vantha iraamaa Nnuchanai irungavikaL
punaiyaar punaiyum periyavar thaaLkaLil poonthotaiyal
vanaiyaar piRappil varunthuvar maanthar
maruLchuranthE. 90

EmperumAnAr who removes the future births of all his
sishyas who think of him and who surrender to him as
the only refuge, is not praised by some; In this vast
world, EmperumAnAr Ramanuja accepts me the lowliest
self as the worthy one to be saved and ruled. What a
great daya of his! 

He came in search of me and saved me. He deserves to
be sung in kaavyams; if not at least few verses. Or if
someone is not capable, at least one should pay
respect to these great mahaaans who attempt to praise
him and sing verses in praise of Ramanuja. Alas! These
people are not doing that even. They are going to be
doomed as they do not believe in Ramanuja?s greatness
nor his sishyas'. 

piRaviyai neekkum piraanai- This Master who destroys
all our future births and enables all his sishyas
attain moksham [by performing Prapatti]
ninaiyaar- if one does not consider him so[as his
master]
enai aLa vandha irmaanusanai- the one who has appeared
and taken this avathAram to rule and save even this
lowliest self like me [and about him]
iru kavigaL punaiyaar- if people do not compose verses
or kaavyams 
punaiyum periyavar ? those great mahaans who sing
poems 
thaaLgaLil poo thodaiyal vanaiyaar- those who do not
offer garnlands for those great mahaan?s lotus feet
and thus do not give respect to Ramanuja thereby
maandhar- such lowly persons 
marul surandhu ? not only do they get spoiled and
doomed; they bring others into the world of ignorance
and darkness as well 
e neeL nilatthil piRappil varundhuvar- due to their
births thus, they fall into severe suffering. 

Hence, like Ramanuja, one should pay respects to those
who praise him as well. If one performs saranagati at
his [Ramanuja?s] feet, he would enable us attain
moksham for sure. One should rest assured of that and
have maha viswasam. One should feel grateful and feel
great of his daya on sishyas and his abundant mercy on
them. One should praise and pay respects to those who
sing in praise of him. If not, it would tantamount to
asahya apachaaram [of not understanding and belittling
Ramanuja?s greatness and his kalyANa guNas]. It will
be suicidal.
