Swami Sri Manaval Mamunikal?s
YATHIRAJA VIMSATI

Sloka 8

Oh, Yatiraja! I am indeed rash and impetuous,
Committing base deeds, steeped in sensual pleasures,
Yet pretending to be a prapanna (*1), and amidst the righteous,
Masquerading boldly as a great devotees of yours.
 
(*1) One who pursues the path of loving surrender unto the Lord?s Grace and 
protection?

Notes:
My Lord, Yatiraja, is it not the height of rashness on my part to keep on 
wounding your heart by my paradoxical behavior outwardly professing all love 
for you and playing the imposter(as a great Prapanna) but actually given to bad 
ways, steeped in sensual pleasures?
 
?Dukkavahoham? would mean ?I am inflicting pain in your mind?.  Actually, this 
pain, in so far as Sri Ramanuja is concerned, is ?para dukkha dukkhitvam?, 
feeling grieved over the sad plight of others and is tantamount to ?Daya? or 
commiseration.  The poet thus becomes the object of Ramanuja?s Daya.
