SrI: SrImathE Ramanujaya namah: Dearest all, Five weapons had become Ramanuja ? said Amudhanar earlier. Now he says: AdisEshan's avathAram Balarama's younger brother [Rama's anujan- younger brother] is KaNNan; That Ramanujan [KaNNan] himself has now come in as Our Ramanujan. Sri Krishnan is Ramanuja.. That's the reason he was able to comprehend exactly on the right purport of GitA ssaasthrA and blessed us with the excellent unambiguous commentary on GitA called GitA Bhashyam. atalkoNta nEmiyan aaruyir naathan an RaaraNachchol katalkoNta oNporuL kaNtaLip pap,pinnum kaachiniyOr itarin_gaN veeznthitath thaanumav voNporuL koNtavar_pin patarum kuNan,em iraamaa NnuchanRan patiyithuvE. 36 KaNNapiraan- the SarvEshwaran- the Sarva sEshi- the One who has the Most strongest ChakrAyudham that can destroy the enemies completely, that day, explained to Arjunan (who was completely confused at to what and what not is to be done?) the rich, deep, esoteric down -to -earth practical philosophy, in His GitOpadEsam. He established the Vedic truths (that are hidden like the most valuable gems at the bottom of deep ocean) in simple verses in GitA and explained to Arjunan (as a vyAjam) for the benefit of the world. Ramanujan - Emperumaanaar, later, in order to alleviate the sufferings of the world, established the same truths in an easy-to-consume fashion for the benefit of the world in GitA Bhashya. Through His merciful compassion /nature, He has offered Himself to me to take refuge at His Lotus feet. It is His Greatness and nature. Adal koNda- Strongest [midukkudaiya] nEmiyan- ChakrAyudha Aar uyir nAThan- Swami- SarvEshwaran- The Lord of all beings; anRu- that day in KurukshEtha battle [when Arjuna was confused and became a prapannan ? surrendering to Krishna] AraNam sol kadal- The ocean of words namely Vedas kOnda- The depth of which oL porul_ the invaluable gems are there [in those depths] kaNdu aLippa pinnum - which were made visible and exposed to and made available [by bringing out those gems] in this GitA [and still] kaasiniyOr- the samsaaric jeevaathmaas [without knowing the true purport of this] idarin kaNN veezhndhida- immersing themselves in dhukkam [sorrowful lives] a oN poruL- That invaluable meaning and purport that was shown that day by KaNNan [Ramanujan] ? the same meaning; kOndu- again was brought out avar pin- went behind these jeevathmaas [again to tell them] thaanum padarum guNan- With tremendous dayA [dayaika sindhO:] on them, mixed with them who are on this earth; idhu yE em- Thus the avathAram [of Krishnan] is Our Iraamanusan thanpadi- Ramanujacharya. SARVOPANISHADHO GAAVO DOGHDA GOPALANANDANA: I PAARTHO VATSA: SUDHEERBHOKTHA DUGDHAM GITAAMRUTAM MAHAT II All the Upanishads are the cows and the son of the king of Cowherds is the milk man. Arjuna is the calf, men of refined intellect are the drinkers and the supreme nectar milked by Krishna is the Gita. SAAKSHAAT PARAMPARAABHYAAM VEDAA GAYANTI MADHAVAM SARVEH I VEDAANTHAA: KILA SAAKSHAADH APAREH TEBHYA: PARAMPARAAYAA II All the Vedas sing the glory of Lord Madhava directly or indirectly. The Upanishad portions of the Vedas sing His praise directly, the other portions sing about Him indirectly.

[extract From Sri Satakopan mama's wonderful write up] Most brilliant GiTA was wrongly interpreted to mean so may ambiguous truths and meanings; KaNNan Himself thus reappeared to explain what He had meant.. first as YamunAcharya [Yamunai thuRaivan] to tell in Summary form as Geethartha sangraham and later as Ramanuja to explain in full.
