SrI:
SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

Dearest all,

Ramanuja?s lotus feet alone are the means and goal-
says Amudhanaar. Did He preach that through
Thiruvaaymozhi and other interpretations? He
[Ramanuja] did instruct various vedanthic works and
Thiruvaymozhi. But to my limited or lack of jnAnam,
all that I could understand is: His Feet are the means
and goal to me. What Ramanuja actually preached is:
Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan lotus feet is the
praapyam and praapakam; The way and the Goal. The path
and the Destination. For that jnAnam also, His lotus
feet are the means and the path. He has performed
Saranagthi for me in Acharya nishtai and placed my
soul at the feet of Sri Ranganthan. Thus He has burnt
all my paapams in a way. ?nipuNarukku

Emperumaanaar- Sri Raamanujacharya declared that Sri
RanganAthan- the reclining Lord of Srirangam on
AdhisEshan- is the One praised by Vedas, One
worshipped by everyone including even Nithya sooris
and is also Our Lord. He showed the Lord to the world
that was filled with adharmam (non virtuous). 

He simply destroyed my karmic diseases, that can not
be overcome by praayacchitthams or experiencing
various births (for the sins are so huge and great
quantities). Not only did he do that to me, He also
resided in my heart at all times in the day and in the
night, without leaving me even for a fraction of
second. There is NO PARALLEL or EQAUL to His mercy of
residing in my heart. So, there is none EQUAL TO ME,
who is blessed with this BhAgyam.

Eesan arangan- Sankalpa sathan- Sri Ranganatha
iRanijappadum- Only one who should be considered for
praying to.. 
Paran- Supreme Lordship 
enRu- thus instructed
e ulagatthu- in this world [that wrongly is misled to
think that the matter and / or demi gods as the means]
aRam- the true readily accessible and available Rangan
as SiddhOpaayam [the readily available means]
seppum aNNal Iraamanusan- Swami EmperumAnAr who
instructs as so [about Rangan]
en aru vinaiyin thiRam seRRu- destroying and crushing
down all my cruel enormous paapams [sins] and removed
the paapams that are hurdles to Acharya bhakti; 
iruvum pagalum- day and night [at all times] 
oppaRa irundhaan- He blesses me by residing in my
heart [unparalleled as Peerless] much above this
Ranganthan Himself;
enakku aarum nigaillayiE- There is none [thus] equal
to me.. [who is blessed with such Achaarya saarva
bhouman Swami Ramanuja] 

Bhakti yogam, Prapatti [Saranagati], are the means
that are prescribed by saasthras and of course are to
be performed as one of the means. But they are not
actually the means. The Lord is the One who grants us
everything and He is mOksha pradhan; He is Mukundan;
moksham dadhaathi.. 

Without the sankalpam of the Supreme Lord, it does not
happen. Even the demid gods are the jeevathmas and
hence they are incapable of granting the eternal
servitude at Srivaikuntam and the mOksha praapthi.
They [due to their attainment of positions being
exalted souls] are granted some powers by Sriman
Narayanan [as mentioned by Sri Krishna in GitA] for
bestowing to others who pray to them-Thus Ramanuja
instructed and preached and corrected with Krishnam
Dharma sanaathanam etc., and pointed that Ranganatha
alone is the means and He alone is Parathvam. 

He grants moksha to those who perform bhakti yoga or
prapatti and being pleased with that deed, He grants
moksha; Thus Bhakti/ Prapatti are the means for
getting His Pleasure thereby He becomes the direct
means to attain mOksham. Not that Swami advised this 
only; He resides in my heart also permanently day and
night at all times. I am indeed so blessed; Is there
anyone equal to me?  - enjoys Amudhanaar.
