SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

 

Dearest all,

 

Uniting with the paapi [incorrigible sinner], and

being in his heart is belittling to me- EmperumAnAr

may think like that leave me- OR let us see if he is

leaving m,e and going somewhere else and if he does,

we will leave his heart- EmperumAnAr may be thinking

and testing me.., whatever it may be- it should never

ever happen and I do not want him to leave… thadhaham

tvadhruthE na nAThavAn mahathE thvam dhayaneeyavaanna

Cha“; This opportunity- both of us should not let go.

There can NOT be anyone who is so lowly of having the

qualities that are not befitting to the Blissful soul

and having the qualities of possessing a vibharItha

(wrong) knowledge in abundance like me.

 

Such unparalleled I (the aparaadha chakravartthi as

claimed by also Swami Desikan in daya sathakam), was

considered by Sri Ramanujar, taking such lowly

qualities alone as the required qualification to save

me. So merciful is He. His such a compassionate nature

alone is the shadow that can protect us form the

scorching samsaaric afflictions. Since, there is none

as bad as I am, it speaks even more of His greatness

to save me even.

 

Sri RamanujA! The One praised even by all those

Bhagawathas who are blemishless and faultless! You are

the swaroopa laabham for me; and the GuNa laabham for

Devas; when such is the case, will we ever go away

from you, Oh Raamanuja! Never.

 

punmaiyolOr- [by]Those who are NOT lowly [great

BhagawathOtthamas]

paragum perumai- Praising

Iraamaunsa- Of Ramanuja!

Nigar inRi- [you are] Peerless, unparalleled

ninRa en neesadhaikku- For my lowliest self;

nin aruLin kaNN anRi puhal- Other than you daya, there

is no refuge for me… at all.

Arutkum a:dhE phal- For your daya [one me] also, my

lowliness is the qualification of mine…

Ini- Having been so and having said that, [this being

the truth]

iruvOmukku- for both of us;

payanum aana pinbu- when there is also fruits thereby

so visible;

pazhudhE agalum poruL en?- why should I leave you or

go away from you? Where is the question now? [all

those fruits will be then waste.]

 

I am the lowliest.. Just because I am blessed with

the right and unambiguous jnAnam now with your

blessings and instructions, that does not mean I am

now purer. Please do no think so. I am blessed with

your grace and thereby the clear jnAnam, inspite of

being with this dirty, mind and body of this

materialistic [praakritha] sareeram. That is why I

enjoy being united with you even with this dirty

sareeram..

 

Thus, both of us are benefited by the same. For your

greatness which become more resplendent by saving even

me and stooping with such sowlseelyam and with me..

and me who is so lowly and neechan and still is being

saved by Davereer Swami Emperumaanar. Thus you are

peerless and I am also peerless for being so lowliest.

Ahamasmi aparaadha chakravartthi karuNe tvaccha

guNEshu saarvabhoumi- says Swami desikan in Daya

satahakam.
