SrI:
SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

Dearest all,

Let us enjoy the second verse of Amudhanaar?s
Iraamaanusa nooRRanthAthi:

The mind ? not just stops at singing of Ramanuja; but
also on the glories of those on whom Ramanuja had
reverence; and those who have great adoration and
bhakti for Ramanuja. Adiyaar adiyaar tham adiyaar? in
lines of being the servant of servant of servant of
His, Amudhanaar?s mind also involves itself on the
bhaktha of Ramanuja and the masters of Ramanuja. Thus
Amudhanaar praises such a state of his mind and its
choice to sing in praise of them also. He himself is
the dAsa of bhaktha of Ramanuja. He is the sishya of
Swami KooratthAzhwAn, an ardent sishya of
Emperumaanaar Ramanuja. 

It is because of the merciful benign glance of Swami
Kuresa, his mind is so clear on the greatness of Sri
Ramanujacharya. This Paramachaarya Sthuthi is the
result of such a merciful gmance of KooratthAzhwAn
[Even adiyEn?s attempt to translate is due to the
benign glance of asmadhAchAryan His Holiness Swami Sri
PaRavaakkOttai Andavan Sri Gopaladesika Mahadesikan
Swami, who has written beautiful commentary for
Yathiraaja sapthathi]. 

This Paramaachaarya sthuthi has become the favorite of
my acharya Kooratthazhwaan and his fellow sishyas and
other Sri Bhaashya simhasanaadhipathis. What a
blessing, oh mind!    

pEriyaln^enchE! atipaNinN thEnunnaip pEyppiRavip
pooriya rOtuLLa chuRRam pulaththip poruvaruncheer

chErththathaRkE. 3

Oh my great mind! I pay my respects to you. You are so
great to have removed me from any connection with
those lowly, cruel, persons who are full of "I" and
"mine" (ahamkara, mamakarams). You have made me join
the Lotus Feet of the Bhagawathas, due to our love and
affection towards the Vishyam of Emperumaanaar Sri
Ramanujacharya, who is full of most auspicious kalyANA
gunAs, most virtuous, straightforward and is pure.
What a great service your have done to me, dear! 

[Periya Koil Nambhi, the then priest of Sri Ranganatha
temple due to his lineage, was a great scholar and
AchArya RaamAnujA recognized that extraordinary
scholarship and felt and recommended that KoorEsan
become the AchAryan to nambhi instead of him.
Recognizing the sweetness of speech of Nambhi, AchArya
RaamAnujA gave the name of "AmudhanAr" to Nampi. From
then on, Periya Koil Nampi came to be known as "
Thiruvarangatthu AmudhanAr ]

Oh my dear mind! Grear mind! I have been blessed to
serve only at the temple and to the Lotus Feet of Lord
Ranganatha and hence was fortunate to be with little
sattva guNA [perhaps] and also due to partaking of
Bhagavath prasAdham always, my mind became purer. Thus
I am fortunate to get rid of my raakshasaa swabhAvam
[existing before] and the association with such people
[of raakshasa swabhAvam] of a?vaishnavas. Thus Sri
Ramanuja enabled me to get such a blessing. 

It is because of His grace, we are what we are, thus
immersing ourselves in His kalyANa guNAs and also
prostrating to Udayavar?s bhakthas and his sishyas and
be kruthArtthan [having done what needs to be done [by
becoming a sishya of Swami KooratthAzhwAn]. Oh mind!
You have enabled this to hold onto the feet of Swami
KooratthAzhwAn. For such a parama upAkAram [immense
and greatest help] of now being able to even praise
their glories, there is nothing wrong if I prostrate
to your feet, oh mind!. My sincere thanks are always
to you for all the great upakaraam that you did to me.
