·1. Ramanuja Vaibhava Hetu Sloka (Sri Nadadoor Alwan ) (All the learned disciples of Bhagawad Ramanuja, once, were seriously debating as to what enabled, Sri Ramanuja to hold sway over all the devoted, whether it was his towering intellect, his gracious personality or his immaculate character? They could not come to any conclusion. They referred to Shree Vatsya Varada Vishnu Guru, the beloved nephew of Shri Ramanuja (Sri Varda Vishnu, popularly known as Nadadoor Alwan, was the son of Ramanuja's youngei sister, Kamala, he was crowned as the "Sri Bhashya Sumhasanadhipati" by Bhagawad Ramanuja himself. Sri Varad Vishnu Guru replied to their question by this verse). "That, Sri Ramanuja is so great, is because, Lord Ranganatha of Sri Rangam, Lord Venkateshwara of Tirupati. Lord Varadaraja of Kanchee, Lord Selvappillai of Thirunarayanapuram (Melkota), Presiding Deities of scores of other temples, the great saintly Acharya Alavandar and Thirumalai Nambi have endowed such a gift to him”. (The essence of this verse is that worshipping Bhagawad Ramanuja is equivalent to worshipping at all these temples and Acharya as he is the Focus for all their grace.)

·2. Sri Ramanuja Stuti Slokas ( Sri Kooraththalvan) 1) I take refuge at the feet of Ramanuja, our Guru, an ocean of Mercy, who infatuated with the Gold-the lotus-like feet of Lord Achyuta cared nothing for other things. 2) I am confidently attempting to sing the praise of the Lord; I am sure of getting what I want, I am fearless, because I have attained enlightement from Sri Ramanuja 3) Oh Lord! residing at Alagar Koil, please fulfil my prayer so that I will be serving at the feet of Ramanuja at Srirangam, as before, for ever. 4) Oh Lord Varada! kindly look at me as one who has taken refuge at the feet of Sri Ramanuja who has close connections with you through eminent Acharyas like Alavandar, Nathamuni, Nammalwar and your consort-SreeDevi 2 ·3. Dhaati Panchakam (Supposed to be composed by Kooraththalwan and other contemporaries) 1 1 Ramanuja is a wild fire for the forest of Religious Hypocrites, a thunderbolt for the mountain of Material listics, a Sun for the darkness of Buddism, a lion to the elephant of Jainism, a Garuda to cut the serpent of the Theory of Illusion, a crown-Jewel for the Vedas, and the Victory Flag of Lord Ranganatha. 2. Ramanuja holds a Tridanda consisting of of three sticks. This Tridanda is the Vajrayudha for breaking the mountains of Religious Hypocrites; the churning stick for the ocean of hidden Buddists, and the stem for the Torch that shows clearly the essence of Vedas. 3 The Trıdanda lifts up the good character, it is the decorative flag in the path of good conduct, it is the post for the lamp of knowjedge; it is the weapon for destroying the entire evil of''Kalı-Yuga", it is the support for the Vedanta, it is the golden stick for the umberlla for victory over the three worlds. 4 Ramanuj's sacred threads are the "Mangalya Sutra'' (Thaali) for the Vedas, They form the rope-way to reach the feet of Lord Vasudeva, they are the wicks 3 ·for the lamp of knowledge, they are the hanging ropes for all the evil congregation; they are the aphorisms for scholars, they are the fibres of the stalk of the lotus, which is the heart of Yogins, and they are the amulet strings for all the sages* 5. Ramanuja, the Yatıraja, destroyer of religious hypocracies, the first among the devotees of Lord Rangaraja and the pilot for taking the humanity to Sri Vaikunta may be Victorious for ever! 4 ·4. Ramanuja Chatu Sloki ( Sri Ananthan Pillai ) 1 Oh! Ramanuja ! be victorious at Srirangam by delivering all the good aspirations to those devoted to you. 2 Oh! Ramanuja! be victorious at Thirumalai; Your ideas are conquering the ill-concieved notions of the religious crooks 3. Oh! Ramanujal be victorious at Kancheepuram, as your Bhashyam, the commentary on Vyasa's aphorisms is founded on the strong authority of Vedas and relevant texts 4. Oh! Ramanuja ! you are like the Sun destroying the darkness created by the Theory of illusion; you are the wild fire for the forest of non-believers, and you are the pleasant Moon for your devotees. Be victorious at Thirunarayanapuram. 5 One who reads, with sincerity, these four slokas on Ramanuja daily will achieve great devotion to Ramanuja's lotus-like feet LO ·5. Ramanuja Ashtottara Satanama Stotra (Sri Andhra Poorna ) (This work lists 108 names in praise of Sri Ramanuja and they are given in such sequence that a glimpse through the life history of Ramanuja is possible for anyone reciting them These 108 names are being used during Archanas by devotees to Sri Ramanuja, since the last nine centuries. A'namavali' useful for Archana is therefore added at the end of this Anthology, in Devanagari Script for the benefit of those devotees. Here the meaning of each name is given in English The serials refer to those in the namavali ) 1. Ramanuja. 2. One who is lotus-eyed. 3. Indra of Recluses. 4. Abode of mercy. 5.

Liberator of the Bramhin Ghost (A bramhin became ghost by performing an irregular 'Yaga' This ghost caught a princess Ramanuja liberated this ghost and saved the princess) 21. One who put down the wrong interpretations of Yadavaprakasa to the Vedantic texts 22. One who is effective (in doing good). 23. One who took 'Sanyasam' with the name Lakshmana 24 One who destroyed the worries of Saraswati (by giving correct meaning to Vedas). 25 One who is expert in eradicating ignorance of humanity. 26 One who knows the essence of both Tamil and Sanskrit Vedantas. 27. One who was regularly offering Abhisheka Water to Lord Varadaraja at Kanchee. 28. One who can read the mind of others. 29. One who brought the fingers of Alavandar's mortal remains to proper position (by making vows to fulfit his ambitions). 30 One who got a 'six point" message from Lord Varadaraja 7 ·32. 31.

Glory unto Sri Ramanuja who released the world from the mischevious clutches of the cruel "Kali" by using the mechanical lever of Devotion to Lord Vishnu. 2. Sri Ramanuja has gloriously performed his pilgrimage to Srirangam, Kancheepuram, Tiruppathi, Ahobilam, Simhachalam, Sri Kurmam, Puri Jagannath, Badhrinath, Nymisaranyam, Dwaraka, Prayag, Mathura, Ayodhya, Gaya and Nepal. 3. Sage Vyasa condensed the Vedatna Doctrines to Aphorisms ("Bramha Sutras''). He then reincarnated as Nammalwar and brought out the essence of Vedanta in succinct and sonorous Tamil poems He now has come again in the form of Ramanuja to synthesise both these texts. 12 ·7. Yatiraja Bharathi Stutai Padyani (Sri Nadadoor Ammal) 1. I am fully aware of my limitations I swear by the Lord and His Consort, my abilities are insignificant in forcing any philosphical principles before the learned But the unconquerable power of the expressions of Ramanuja, latent in me, is ever awake to bring me glory and victory in this field 2. I have not read classical literature, I do not know the alphabet of Logic; I do not know the elementary ideas in "Mimamsa" Yet I can, with ease, score over all the experts in each of these branches of Learning because of my devoted study of Ramanuja's works. 3. Who can venture to enter for a debate with one who has devoted himself sincerely to the studies of the ideas of Sri Ramanuja and therefore become the foremost in any congregation of Vedic Scholars? 13 ·8. Bhashya Kara Stotra (Sri Srutaprakasıkacharya ) 1. Prostrations to the great saint Ramanuja who like a physician healed the nervous fever of the vedas, the Religious codes, and the Aphorisms of Vyasa by giving the correct interpretations to them 2 The Sri Bhashya of Ramanuja is like the Srirangam Temple itself, The Supreme God is seen with the "Sesha" in the temple , Similiary the Supreme God is seen established with the "jeevatmans" and other properties (Sesha) in Sri Bhashya. 3. Precise and deep as they are, the expressions of Ramanuja may kindly refect all their Ideas on us purely out of their own grace. 4. Had Bhashyakara himself given explanatory commentary on his work they also would have been as deep as the original, Nobody can then catch the ideas How then can one understand his works and the Lord who is not visible to the naked eyes? Let us therefore pray to Him, Ramanuja and his works to shower upon us their grace to get at the depth 14 ·YATIRAJA SAPTATI ( Sri Vedanta Desika ) 1. Salutations unto The Peerless one, by whom are the Vedas tuaght and the Pancharatra Sastra formulated, our Formost Lord and Master and the Beloved consort of Lakshmi. 2. Salutations unto Her, the personification of Mercy, who, with the Lord, is ever benevolent towards the world, and for whom punishing (of the evil even) is betenoire 3. Salutations unto the consort of Sutravati, the commander ofthe Celestial forces of the Lord, -Vishwaksena on movement of whose cane tip is this cosmos controlled. 4. Prostrations unto Sathari, whose poems, that are delightfully perfumed by the Vakula flowers (worn by him), provide an easy means of relaxation to the Vedas. 5. Slave me, I too could get to possess a right master, by submitting unto Nathamuni, to whom the truths concieved by the great vedas were as simple to visualize as an Amla fruit placed over his palm. 6. Salutations unto Pundarikaksha, who appeareth to be yet another incarnation of the Lord, for he sternly stands by Nathamuni's Ideas and is a personification of "Satva" (the 'good' alone). 15 ·7. Salutations unto Manakkai Nambi, ihe Fourth Rama, who possessed a "Himalayan for-bearance”, who did not harm Punya-janas' and who was devoid of conceit and desire. (It may be appreciated that the words forming the above three adjectives for the Fourth Rama are so couched in Sanskrit to convey by pun an idea that the Fourth Rama has an edge over the three previous Ramas, Parasu Rama, Dasaratha Rama and Bala Rama.) 8. Prostrations unto Yamuna Muni who symbolizeth the waters of Yamuna by being Lord Krishna's first love and, therefore, free of crooked thoughts (Serpents) and by guiding the good (flowing stealthily through Brindavana). 9. I take refuge in the merciful Periyanambi, who was the preceptor Ramanuja; and by whom, were the wishes of Lord Vishnu, The Cosmic Creator, fulfilled. 10. May sake Ramanuja, whose words beautify the Vedas enabling them to take the Lord into thier possession acknowledge my prostrations. 11. Salutations unto the Lord of hermits, out come of the good deeds of the three worlds, guide of the "prapannas”, who is glorified by the tuft, the sacred thread religious marks over his body, and the Trıdanda (three sticks) in his hands. 12. He, the Lord of Hermits, who is a personifcation of the five forces of the Lord and who lived as a terror to his changellengers possessth the power to save us 13. Hath not Lord Krishna Himself incarnated as Ramanuja? for Ramanuja hath deprived Shankara's associates of their pride, glorified Yadavaprakasa by his 16 ·wisdom, and eradicated the Aparthas. (Incorrect interpretations to the Vedas) (The pun in the original provides for this poetic fancy) 14 Bhasyakara's Srisuktis protect the ancient Upanishads from the not-very learned persons who go about preaching immorally. 15. The diamond-necklace, namely, the Guru parampara, shines in the heart of every scholar, Yatıraja who is more lustiious than the Sun even, being its central diamond. 16. In the principles of Yatiraja, is the true incorporation of the Lord. Descendants of those who uphold these principles are flawless, scrupulous, and good-willed,and after emancipation, adorn those who associate with them. (By pun,the original draws a picture of a pearles coming out of green Bamboos from mountains) 17. I meditate on Yatiraja, who is a better moon living at the Lord's feet (sky); he is well learned immaculate, does not encourage the dulles (oceans), and is desireless (free of eclipsces). 18. Having enshrined themselves in the city of Yatirja's feet, the flawless scholars, find pleasure in serving the Bhagavatas. They delete all the formalities among themselves. 19. This speech of mine, which was once a mixture of illmanners, exaggeration, scoldings and talking behind others has been sweetened by the glory of Yatiraja, (as a pool of muddy water is made serene upon the addition of 'Kataka' seeds to it). 20. We shall take refuge under the feet of our Royal Recluse, which are capable of cleaning disturbed mind and granting Salvation right here. 17 ·21. Scholars, upon meditating on the feet of our sovereign Hermit, realise the innermost truth of the myths and terrorise their challengers by just their breath. They show us the path to Liberty. 22 He, who resembleth a king-swan over the lake namely the association of Bhaktas, and who is seated under the great trees namely the Vedas, with sticks (Tridanda) in his hand will save us from immorality. 23. The Emperor of Hermits, who knoweth all the mantra's, saveth us from the poison of the worldly desires, by constantly meditating on the feet of the Lord, (Here a picture of a Mantrika using Garuda Mantra to protect those bitten by the Venomous drawn is.) 24 Having cleared the ignorance withio me by the lusture of his finger-nails, the Lord of the Hermits, appeareth to be enforcing the divine knowlcdge into me by his Upadesha-mudra. 25. Behold the divine upadesha-Mudra, which resembles a full blossomed lotus; Symbolized in the hands of our beloved Ramanuja, it appeareth to be teaching us, the little learned, the concealed principles of the myths. 26. The orations of Ramanuja, attractions to the Vedas even, are capable of eradicating the internal and external ailments araising in us who are constantly perturbed by the pestiferours Samsara. 27. Yatiraja is victorious as an unique blend of three famous brilliance, as a pleasant flame showering cool light, as the moon by eradicating the darkness irrispect)ve of night or day, and as a cool bright Sun destorying the "Samsara Tapa". 18 ·28 Victorious shalth be, the Originator - Hill of all the rivers of Wisdom; repose for the Samsara - ailed; destroyer of dubious arguments of the foreign religions, and the moon to the tides of the Oceans of Vedas 29 Revered by the learned, showing the right path to emancipation, fortune of the good hearted, flawless and deep with morals - these works of Ramanuja shall be benevolent to us 30 A Water spring to those deserted in Samsara, enjoyed by those who are sinless, and a visual - aid for visualization of Vedas, this speech of Ramanuja assesseth us towards being with the Lord 31. In magnifying the honey alias the interest of the associates towards the Lord's feet in having adopted several branches alias Vedas, in removing sins alias bad Odour Yatıraja's preachings, which appear to be a Kalpakavriksha to those who argue, eradicate the "Tapa' that araiseth of Samsara 32. When the Lord, the Formulator of several religions here in this world as a game, bore the dark figure signifing Kaliyuga, compassionate Vishwaksena, in order to save the entire universe that was enticed by false enjoyments, became Yatıraja (having adopted) his cane as the Trıdanda 19 ·33. The goal of wisdom, stimulus to the sense of taste of the person who hath tasted them, possessors of flawless taste, excellent medicine to our ears, and perfect reflections of the Lord, the preachings of Ramanuja, resemble the Ksheera Sagara in possessing principles alias Ratnas some of which are realized (visible) and some are not. 34. Those who possess the unwreckable wealth namely the Yatıraja Sampradaya do never wish to possess the inaccessible wealths, of an emperor even, which are wet by the good smelling waters that pour down the cheeks of the royal elephants submerging the bees that have been attracted by the fine smell 35. The Vedic scholars being the drummers, the divine characteristics of Lord being the ropes that reinforce the drumming sticks alias the preachings of Ramanuja, the sincere inhabitants of Srirangam being the dancers, the drums that represent the good reputation of Ramanuja, are heard even in remote parts of every direction 36 Eternal are they, the works of Ramanuja, which eradicate the fresh, illogical religions, and which enliven the Atmans hurt by those They (his works) serve the Vedas, even as a servant maid would to a queen, 37. Having learnt the constitutions of Vedas that were inapprehensible even to the celestial beings, and having overcome the Buddhas who challenged him in arguments, 20 ·Hermit Yatiraja, representeth the pearl-shells, the productpearls of which are the divine characterstics of the Lord Himself (That) Yatiraja enlightenth us by his preachings. 38 The Surpreme being who, after having escaped the marsh of Saiva Philosophy, and the traps of pseudologics of Kapıla, freed himself even from the Yoga shastra of Brahma But, when he fell in the arguments of the supporters of illusion, Ramanuja alone could rescuse him. (And so,) Ramanuja is the Greatest. 39 Misled by the formulas of Kanada, pseudo-logics of Kapila, perverted talks of Kumarıla, dubious works of Prabhakara arguments of Buddha and the blabberings of the supporters of illusion, this world, had to be mended by the preachings of Ramapuja alone. 40. The Scholars who obtained their Scholarship by associatian with and devotion to the Lord of Hermits, are like sage Agastya in having drunk the ocean namely the false reputation of those who are greatly enthusiastic of arguments 41. I Shall on my bowed head, bear the feet of those who admire Yatıraja, again, my bare left foot be placed on the heads of those who argue in support of Philosophies other than that of Yatıraja 42 Aye, my heart ! Shalt though associate with the philosophies of Ramanuja, which are capable of erasing 21 ·thy fatigue caused by loafing about in the dark alleys of evil sice long Then, shalt though enjoy the state of being free of sins granted by the Mercy of the Lord, who carrieth the discus as a weapon 43. The admirers of other religions that have, to their credit, countless works formulated by foolish people, observe the few works of Ramanuja as inadequate Would the pan of the balance that hath the Koustubha gem which glorifieth the broad chest of the Lord, show to be heavier, if a huge mountain is placed over the other pan? 44 May those who have been lured by foolish preachings, acknowledge or reject the works of Ramanuja, which strengthen the ancient Vedas; would the salt-hawkers know the value of Karpura that are famous for their perfume and taste. ? 45. The primaeval creator, Brahma, beareth the lady (Vedas/Saraswati) over his tongues; the left half of Lord Shiva's person is a lady, even the Supreme Being is enticed by the cow-herdesses; but the worshippers of Ramanuja remain absolutely un-disturbed by the cupid un- 46 A Shady tree to the wanderers in Vedas, an valuable treasure to the desireless ones, the charioteer of the chariot pamely his worthy disciples, the end of the darkness called ignorance, a gem among Vedic scholors, Yatiraja, preacheth us the logic of differences in the right way 22 ·47 The preachings of Yatıraja are excellent medicines to the agony caused by stupid arguments; are the shrines of truth, are the fences to the crops of wisdom; are perfumed by the Vedas, are the clouds that shower eternal pleasure and are the erasors of even the talks about going to hell 48. A light in enabling us to visualize the self; a tree with edible, ripe fruits to those who suffer from the hunger of enthusiasm in knowing the Supreme Being, the perspicacious Sukti of Yatıraja leadeth our thoughts 49 Moonlight to the water - lilees namely great devotion towards the Lord and Sunligbt to the eyes of the owls namely the mendacious debators, Yatıraja's preachings get us to grow desire in emancipation. 50. With no contradictions, being the sweet essence of the works of Bodhayana, perspicuous works of Ramanuja which concieve the Brahma Sutras, do possess the capability of alluring the taste of the scholars. 51. The raucous quarrels among the quarrelsome who suffer from conceit with respect to their arguments that are against the principles pronounced in the Vedas, do instantaneously end upon mentioning the name of Yatıraja. 52 The limit to dubious arguments, the wealth of Rig. Veda, enshrinement of Yajur Veda, beauty of Sama Veda 23 ·the investment of Atharva Veda, brilliance of the tatwas and echo of the preachings of the ancient Sages, this Sukti of Ramanuja granteth us the Serene Wisdom. 53. The works of Ramanuja emphasize the association ith the twin pleasant, flawless lotus-like feet of Lord Vishnu; further, they prevent us from worshipping insignificant gods like Indra and others 54. Possessor of genuine meaning, an ocean of nectar and the ultimate outcome of the good - deeds of the Vedic scholars this Suktı of Yatıraja, is victorious in removing the perturbances created to Vedas by the arguments of the proud argument-lovers. 55. He, who trieth to incorporate the short comings of his religion over to that of Ramanuja, resembleth him who trieth to laminate the space by throwing mud over it, but, instead, receiveth the same all over his own body 56 Had not the flame called Yatıraja, which hath the devotion to the Lord as its fuel, clear and residue. free shone here in this world, that was dark with stupidity, it would not have been possible for the naive admirers to get shown the right path 57. Be it that the Siddhanta of Ramanuja new and that the other religions ancient; so what? And again, 24 ·the essence of Ramanuja's siddhanta hath been preached by Tanka, Dramida, Nammalwar and others (from time to time) (Hence how is it new, ?) 58. The works of Ramanuja that have out shone the Vedas even, are pleasant to hear, by constatly hearing which the scholars have enhanced their knowledge; they further, enjoy the genuineness of his works at the time of emancipation 59 Revered by the association of those who are not lured by the earthly pleasures, the twin feet of Yatırja are the traps to the wild elephant namely the stupid mind of mine. 60. In granting emancipation, and in eradicating the sins of the lives, the Ganges like Compassion of Yatiraja, which hath the preachings of Yamuna Muni as its Yamuna, floodeth me over, even if I did not lower myself (1 e even if I did not worship him) 61. To them, who admire the works of Ramanuja, other siddhantas do not appeal; would Shiva who beareth the serene waters of Ganges which houseth the pearl shells in it, ever think of bearing on his head, the filthy waters contaminated by dirty frogs ?. 62. At the right time, having absorbed the waters from the ocean namely the compassion of Yatıraja, the cloud 25 ·namely the Lord of Hastigiri, poureth down on us, more than our need (Threrefore) Salutation unto that Yatıraja who destroyeth the darkness of Selfishness and by whom the ways (to emancipation) to the mendacious quarrelsome stand blocked 63. Glorified by the Saffron cloths that resemble the Pitambara of the Lord, and by the tridanda in his hands, this embodyment of The Destroyer of the demons, is Victorious in protecting the Vedas and Upanishads. Such is our glory eternal and wide spread for we follow the siddhantas of Yatiraja who hath gained them from the Lord Himself 64 Shall I meditate on the feet of Yatıraja which have (constantly) been born by the scholars after having born the dust on the streets over which Yatıraja wandered asking for biksha, during which times, the Mother Earth having been cleared of all the filth, bore the signs of fish (found on the feet of Yatiraja). 65. Alas! By those who go about with wrong ideas founded by many false sastras, that are not the principles of Yatıraja, Bhagavan Vyasa is laughed at; Sage Valmiki is thrown off their thoughts; Sage Shuka is made a parrot for games and the reputed Bodhayana too, is rejected 66 My thoughts have been mended by Lord of Hermits, whose preachings are nectar-like in eradicating the illustons of Samsara. 26 ·67 My thoughts, glorified by the grace of the Lord who is in eternal happiness because of the presence of the Daughter of Ocean near Him, have been charmed by the preachings of Yatıraja and hence have reached the mansion of Vedanta, after rejecting the mendacious earthly pleasures 68. Let the, associate of Yatıraja's philosophies, who possess in born wisdom and knowledge be there who of the mendacious argument lovers shalth try to lift his eyes even, in front of us? 69. After having mastered the philosophy of Kanada, Goutama, Mimamsa, Sankhya and Yoga - I have come to conclude that there is absolutely nothing to ponder in those which resemble the blind in a dark forest and which have been defeated by Yatiraja 70. Upon Ramanuja the Emperor of Yatis, ascending the Bhadhra Peeta the preachings of Buddhas become insignificant; those of Kapıla hide themselves; those of Kanada get eradicated, those of Brahma and Shiva do not shine; those of Kumarila vanish,, and those of Prabhakara get rejected. (Thence) what doubt is there about Shankara and others ?. 71 Venkatesa, after having been enthroned by the Bhagavatas, who are pure in thoughts and who are, at all time, bathing in the ocean called the reputation of Yatıraja, hath composed these Seventy Slokas on Yatiraja, which shall be like a hurricane for the cotton - dust namely the pseudo-logical arguments of the challengers 27 ·72. A means of blocking the huge, untolerably fast (with desire) wild elephant-herds namely the challengers from the other religions, at the foot of the hill called Yatıraja this loud roar of the Lion (Vedanta Desika) shalth be repeated in the ears of the challengers (the elephant-herd) by those who wish (to win the arguments 73 This Yatıraja Saptati, which is like a light to the Upanishads, shall give us the wisdom to realise the very Lord conceived by it 74. The admires of this Yatiraja Saptati, master the right path (to emancipation) get to possess the right formula; and make the jealous people as stars the sky of a bright sunny day (1. e. the jealous people become insignificant in front of them) 28 ·10. Avatara Sloka (Sri Bramhatantra Parakala Swamy) 1. I adore Ramanuja the incarnation of Adisesha who appeared on Earth in the auspicious Tiruvadirai star of the Chittırai month at Sriperumbudur to spread the message of Lord Vishnu.

·11. Yatiraja Vijaya Sicka ( Sri Gatikasatakam Ammal) 1. The Sudarsana Disc of Lord Achyuta, with which He used to cut the demons, who were confusing the Angels by their craft, has taken the form of Yatıraja, when the same demons have started confusing the humanity also with their Hypocritical Religions 2. Yatiraja who honours the 'Sanyasashrama' with tuft, red garment, and upavita has virtually erected a stair case for thos desirous of emancipation for climbing up to reach Vaikunta Loka. 3. This great Yatiraja saw Lord Krishna in person and from Him directly attained the nuances of the Doctrine of Surrender at His feet; and for the benefit of all the devotees of Krishna, out of sheer mercy, he recorded his conversation with Krishna on that occasion in beautiful prose (unde the heading Saranagati Gadya). 4. Among the Authorities on philosphy the Upanishads are unparallel d; among the topics to be brooded over Lord Narayana is the best; and among the preceptors Ramanuja is the greatest, 30 ·5. Lord Narayana accommodated the jeevas according to their karma and found them, therefore, in miserable conditions. As he could not bear the sight of their sorrow, not able to find solutions to the problems created by their karma, he would have preferred to close His sports of creation of cosmos etc.; But after the arrival of Yatiraja, who has brought out solutions to the karma of Humanity (through his 'saranagati doctrine ), I am sure, He has also been saved and can continue His game merrily. 6. I am not the body, I am different from my organs of senses, I am atomic; I am the real focus of my feelings 'me', In reality I am nothing but clear knewledge and bliss, but surrounded by ignorance I behave as though I am only sorrow and foolishness; I am at the mercy of my five organs of sense and suffer the many burning pains, There can be none other than you, Yatiraja,! who is all friendliness by nature, to protect me under these circumstances. 7. Not that the Lord who knows everything is not aware of our sufferings; He being an embodiment of mercy will not discard us; He being the all-powerful, is not certainly incapable of saving us; But to help us He awaits the Kripa Katasha' of Guru, Yatıraja, this only goes to prove that Yatıraja is better than He. 81 ·8. To those who rejecting all materiallistic earthly pleasures, concentrate on the Lustre dressed up with the three categories of 'cit'and Acit', Ramanuja describes that same Lustre as the ultimate goal and happily stands there being saluted by all the saints, 9. By your ways you have proved other religions to be of no worth; you have brought out the Vedic Doctrines and showed their pleasantness You are therefore a pleasing sight for us. oh Ramanuja! 10. Let there be regular rains, Let there be constitutional Governments to protect the land, Let all the animals live free of disease and become literates; Let pure and uudiluted devotion to His feet purify the universe; Let the message of Yatiraja be accepted by all like a flower-garland. 32 ·12. Yatiraja Vimsati (Shri Manavala Mamunigal) 1. Prostrations unto Sri Ramanuja, the lord of hermits; eradicator of evils namely desire etc; of those who submit unto his feet; an ardent Bhakta of that Parankusa Muni who enjoys the blessed state of a pleasantly disturbed mind because of his immense love towards performing the daily salutes to the twin charming lotus feet of Lord Madhava, 2. Salutations unto Srimad Ramanuja, the king of hermits; in whom did Kuratthalwan take refuge, who symbolizes a bee at the lotus feet of Parankusa Muni; who makes the lotuses namely the Alwars blosom and who wanders as a king-swan over the lotus feet of Lord Ranganatha. 3. Oh! The Emperor of hermits! May I always be meditating on the feet of those celestial leaders like Kuranatha and Kurukesa who are rightly referred to as our 'Acharyas' and who salute thy feet by their respective thoughts, speech and deeds as well. 4. Oh! Emperor of the Hermits ! May my mind be always immersed in the meditation on thy glori. 33 ·ous image; may I always speak of thy Gunas'; May I enslave my self unto thee for thy service; in this way my thoughts, speech and deeds be absolutely seggregated from other (useless) engagements. 5. Oh! Our Lord! Ramanuja ! Presently when I get to incline to the wordly life, grant me the mind determined in following the spiritual realisations as revealed by the three divine words of the magnificent Formula 'Ashtakshara' Let my mind enjoy the association with thy lotus feet which are worthily being saluted by thy divine disciples. 6. Alas! not only that I did not Submit myself unto thy lotus feet, but also I let my inclination towards this cankerous earthly life grow day by day. The only root cause being my sins, Oh ! the Merciful Acharya !, I beg to be relieved of these, 7. Oh ! Emperor of the hermits! Human in appearance, Tindeed am a beast in deeds; yet I have made the scholars talk about me as a man who has mastered Vedas and who possesses great spiritual qualities' How unscruoulpus of me ! 8. Oh! The Royal Recluse ! knave as I am, I move among thy disciples as though I worship thee! Having earned a name 'Prapanna'- which means a total submission unto thee. I keep hurting thy thoughts by my bad character and attachment to the wordly feelings. 34 ·9. Scoundrelas iam, Oh! the Royal Recluse ! Thumiliate our Acharyas, Sastras and the Lord without an jota of fear. Yet, I pretend as though I have an earnest faith in them and bravely associate with thy disciples. 10. Alas! At all times, ! who displease thee in three ways by thoughts, speech and deeds- pretend as though I am sincerely interested in pleasing thee. How caddish of me! 11. Oh! The Royal Hermit, I keep committing sins, for, owing to my ignorance I do not feel frightened or ashamed of my sins. Never is a sin repeated (by scholars) because of the fear, pity and shame araising out of the same. 12 Alas! Even as a born blind who cannot see things kept right in front of him' I, struck by cupid, fail to visualize the Supreme being who is incorporated in and out of each and every thing in this universe; and therefore, consider myself unfit to appear before thy esteemed personality. 13. Oh ! The Royal Recluse! I do not attempt to liquidate the three basic human emotions (namely Tapatrayi) I suffer from, lustead, Alas!, I have inclinations to grow this cankerous bddy of mine The root cause being n.y sins, (for such stupidity), I beg to de relieved of those. 14. Oh ! Lord Ramanuja! Though embedded with great qualities, Sri Kuranatha, observed himself 35 ·as having qualities of a knave. Obviously, his works mean me alone, for no one else in here is embedded, with qualities as bad as mine. In such events, I am the proper most rendezvous for thy compassion, 15, Oh ! Emperor of the hermits ! All the low qualitres mentioned by revered Acharyas like Alavandar, Kuranatha and Bhattar are in ample within me. In such events, I am the proper- most rendezvous for thy compassion. 16. Oh ! Emperor of hermits ! May my task in these earthly affairs be eradicated by thy mercy. May I enslave myself for the services of that person who, at the thought of the 'Bhaktas' of the Bhaktas' of thine, reaches an aceession of eternal happiness. 17. Oh! The sovereign Recluse ! Our lord, whoso devine excellence is praised upon by Vedas, and, who is well in every body's vision here, as Sri Rangaraja, hath enshrined himself in thy heart; evidently, there fore, Thou art vested with the power of eradicating the sins of thy devotees. 18. Oh ! Emperor of the hermits ! Sins have I commetted in the past, am commtting at present and commit may in the future by my thoughts, speech and deeds. Saved, there fore I shall be by the Lord's forbearance alone. Again, thou hast prayed to Him earlier, (and He hath promised) to save sinners like us who have taken total refuge in thee. 36 ·19. Oh! Our Lord ! Emperor of the hermits ! Grant me the serenity and determination to perform daily salutes to thy lotus feet as introduced to us by the merciful Sri Shaila Natha. Erased shall be any desier of mine apart from the above mentioned, (by your grace), 20. Oh ! The Royal Hermit! An ocean of Mercy as thou art, thou knowest that I exist devoid of all spiritual qualities and wisdom in our principles and therefore have no other refuge save thee, Hence, may my this petition be acknowledged by thee, 87 ·13.

Who is devoted to Nammalwar; who is everything for Kooraththalwan, 2. Who respects all the 'poorvacharyas'; who is respected by all the saints. 3.

21. Let Ramanuja be glorious for ever with the Holy
Vedas, the noble preceptors and the Lord;.
43

·15. Sri Ramanuja Varnana Slokas (Sri Venkatardhwaji ) 1. This is Sriperumbudur, wh ch I have been seeing; this place it-Self erad cates our sins; this is the place where the ocean of noble virtues, Shri Ramapuja but for whom the nector like essence of vast vedan. tic concepts would not have been that easy for the scholars, was born 2. Ramanuja's name is power ful in driving away sins like greed etc, His greatness beggaers desciption; He equals the Dev.guru in his intellect; His face is like full-moon; He excells sun in his lustre. Let this Ramanuja shower upon us good here and there. 3. Ramanuja, whose arguments cut debates who presents clear ideas, and entertains the scholars and who puts every-thing at ease, is victorious. 4. Ramanuja's works by their research approach bring pleasure to the learned. (By pun, the poet equates Lord Rama's arrows to Rampuja's works). 5. I offer my salutation unto Lord Ramanuja who is Adisesha in human form who descended to this world with desires of protecting the suppressed like me. 6. Two Ramanujas are there to eradicate Naraka (a demon and hell); both have desires of association 44 ·with Yamuna (river Yamuna and Yamunacharya); the former gave Gita; the latter commented on it. 7. Vedic Texts describing Bramhan as Nirguna mean Bramhan is without any ill-virtues; Vedic texts describing Bramhan as Saguna establish a virtuous Bramhan, Advaitic texts in Vedas describe the qualified one; the differentiating texts give the correct piciure for identification. This is how Ramanuja bridges the various apparently contrary vedic texts and does good to them and us! 8. Ramanuja and Lord Mukunda love Yamuna (Guru's and river's name). Ramanuja has three sticks in his hand (Trıdanda). Lord Mukunda has only one-the flute in his hand ! 9. Let the principles of Ramanuja be victorious ! Let the words of Desika be victorious; Let the vedic path have no obstacles; Let Lord Venkateshwara at Tirupati shine for ever ! 45

·16. Prarthana Panchakam

works,

Ramanuja's feet, will achieve greater devotion to

·17. Ramanuja Stava Slokas (Various Acharyas) 1. Oh Ramanuja ! let your pers 'nality be before my eyes always. It is adorned with red-garment; has a charming tuft; has the shining hand which holds the Tridanda; has a bright 'Upavita'; is like the rising Sun; and it bears attractive Urdhava Pundra'. 2. I take refuge at the feet of Ramanuja who always chants the holy mantras, who wears a red piece of dress, who holds a tridanda, who governs the three 'tatvas', whose eyes spread compassion, who destroys of the Argumentative, and who is the ocean of for-bearance and other noble qualities. 3. Let me inscribe in the plane of my tongue as they do in stone, the letters forming the name of Ramanuja - these very letters which are the most effici. ent purificators of all the three worlds and whichform the most efficient medicine for the disease of Samsara. 4. Ramanuja, shines as moon at Vishou pada (sky and Lord's feet). This moon by his rays, that are his words makes the Vedic lillies blossom; eradicates darkness and throws off heat. Let this moon shower good on us. 47 ·5. of these two moons, the usual and Ramanuja, who appear there, to kindle happiness in us, the former gets reduced by fractions because of distribution at the rate of one-sixteenth of his possession to others; The latter shines even in the day-time and distributes all his possessions i.e. knowledge to us but gets increased (in fame) and becomes Guru' (Heavy). 6. Ramanuja, the fore nost among the hermits, by hearing the very name of whose, the ghost ran away from the princess, and who holds a Tridanda that Controls the three tatwas in all aspects may be victorious for ever! 7. Ramanuja's fame shines as 'namas' in the body of his followeis; In their souls it shines as Virtues; Then it flows like a Ganges of Bhakti there; then it becomes a lift fur then - for reaching Him Such Ramanuja may be Vic orious ! 3. Ramanuja excels even Vyasa and valmiki (By employing pun the poet shows how this is). Therefore who shall equal him ? 9. Like the Sun Ramanuja also shines leading the Souls to His feet, distributes light to the world by his preachings (rays), is an embodiment of Vedas and gives vision to all. 48 ·18. Yatipati Shannavati (Sri Srinidhi Swamy ) In the ensuing Tamil year of Pingala, 960th birth anniversary of Sri Bhagavad Ramanuja comes off. To commemorate the occasion Sri Villur ladathur Asukavisarvabhowma U-Ve Srinidhi Swamy has composed a stotra on Sri Bhagavad Ramanuja, consisting of 96verses. Sri Ramanuja who was an incarnation of Adisesha was born in Pingala Another incarnation of Adisesha, Pingala Muni propounded and defined various metres le "Vrittas' in Sanskrit poetry S1 Asukavisarvabhowmaswamy has therefore, rightly brought forth this stotra of 96 verses, styled "Yatipatishannavati" in several metres on this auspicious occasion The following is the translation of the verses in seriatım, 1 I pay obeisance to my father and Acharya who was born at Viller (Chapapattana ) in the month of Margazhi (chapamasa) of the year (Rakshasa) which preceds the year Nala and commence the Stotra of Sri Ramanuja who was born in the month of Chittirai of the year Pingala which succeeds the year Nala. 49 ·2 With this stotra containing verses in numerous metres as shown by Pingala Muni, I bow to Sri Ramanuja, the king of saints who was born in the year Pingala, who gives prosperity and whose body glitters with the auspicious religious marks (Pundras). 3 After worshipping the devotees of Sri Ramanuja who are devoid of sins and who destroy the sins of those who approach them, I now venture to make this very attractive and faultless garland of verses in various metres for tne gracious saint, Sri Ramanuja. 4. O i Bhagavan l you were born in the star of Bhava le Pasupati. But alas ! you annihilate the philosophy of Pasupata On the other hand, how is it that having been born in the month of Madhu ie Chittirai, you are attached to the enemy of Madhu ? 5. o Bhagavan you were born in the star of Bhava (Shiva) and you endeavour to rescue your devotee from Bhava (Samsara). so also having been born in the month of Madhu (Chittirai), you rightly did the mellifluous (Madhumath) Sri Bhashya. 6. Let the affluence (Shree) which you possess be (for all of us ) 7 0! The glorious Yogin I give (us) knowledge. 8. in my mind always thou shalt shine. 9. Or Yogin Our Lord I shalt thou be victorious forever. 50 ·10 The meditator of Sri Ramanuja realises the real principle of our philosophy. 11. A person who is always fondly attached to the feet of Sri Ramanuja becomes a terror to Yama 12 May the figure of Sri Ramanuja clad in saffron clothes with the Trıdanda in hand protect (us) from the heaps of sins, 13. Worship that great Bhashyakara who is dear to Lord Sriman Narayana and who wards off the fear of samsara (this worldly ufe) 14. A person is praised by Vedantins the moment he worships Sri Ramanuja with pleasure. 15. May Sri Ramanuja being the king of brahmins (“Dvija' means' brahmin' as well as moon') remove this stupidity of ours that is the darkness of the night of samsara (this worldly life). 16. Olmy mind I do not get attached to women; but get attached to him who is the brother of Andal and the destroyer of illusion. 17 I bow to the two Ramanujas, one, the younger brother of Sri Balarama ie Sri Krishna and the other, Sri Bhashyakara. The Former gave Gita and the latter the commentary thereon, The lotus-like arm of the former is adorned with the flute made of bamboo and that of the latter with the Tridanda which is also made of bamboo. The Former is Goda's consort and the latter her brother. 51 ·18. That Yogi who has in himself 'Adwaita' a oneness in ears and eyes, as also 'Dwaita' a two ness in tongue preached 'Visishtadwaita', (It is to be noted that Sri Ramanuja was an incarnation of Adisesha, the king of serpents and for a serpent its eyes themselves are its ears and its tongue is spilt into two) 19. The utterances of Sri Ramanuja based on Sruti and Smruti make the learned people immersed in nector. 20. May Sri Ramanuja who is devoted to Lord Hari, whom the innumerable learned men worship and whose mind is engaged in vedanta, give (us) abundant prosperity. 21. May Sri Ramanuja who was first deceived by Yadava [Yadavaprakasa] and was later worshipped by him [Yadava], whose abode is the Yadava mountain [Melkottai] and in whose mind lives the Lord born in the Yadava class (Sri Krishna) give [us] abundant prosperity. 22. & 23. There is no worry for us because the King of saints, famous by the name Sri Ramanuja who saved the King's daughter from the clutches of Brahma Rakshasa is our lord. Sri Rama is there to protect those who are attached to the sacred feet of Sri Ramanuja(Rama's brother) from Samsara which is like a combination of demons, devils and ghosts. 24. Sri Ramanuja has in his mind that Bhujanga (which means 'Vita' ie Lord Krishna) who in the battle with Banasura annihilated the valour of the six-headed Subrabmanya who is himself described as Matta Mayura (which mens 'one having an arrogant peacock as his vehicle.) 52 ·(It is strange here that the peacock[Mayura] which usually destroys the serpent [Bhujanga] was defeated by the serpent This verse has refere nc to the 22nd pasura of Sri Ramanuja Nootranthathi.) 25. 01 my mind I do not approach men intoxicated by the vanity of wealth Hear what is beneficial to you. Recite the names of Sri Ramanuja like Yatipatı, Yogindra Yatındra, Natha etc. You will attain happiness. 26. 01 my mind ! if you want to shed the multitude of fear from Samsara and to enjoy happiness, then worship Sri Ramanuja, the dust of whose feet grants benefits to his devotees. 27. All the philosophies devoid of the Vedas have been destroyed by Sri Ramanuja. The philosophy, enamoured of the Supreme Being, which is pleasant to the ears, pleasantbecause of its thick relation to the Vedas, spread by him triumphs high in the world. 28. 01 wise and courageous Sri Ramanujal brother of Bhoomi Devi who wes born as Andal at Srivilliputtur and whose desire was fulfilled by you ! your heart is a mansion for the happy activities of the sentiment of compassion [Karuna Rasa]. Please always live in my mind. 29. 0! Sri Ramanuja ' incarnation of Adisesha 1 you have used the word 'Scmushi' in your verse in Sri Bhashya. That 'Seshi', Sriman Narayana shines in the mind of that soholar who recites that word 'Semushi'. [Here 'Amum' in Sanskrit means 'that word' as also 'that without mu'. Semushi minus mu becomes Seshi.] 53 ·30. The gods in large groups with utmost humility instantneously bow to those who carry on their heads the auspicious dust emanating from the lotus-like feet of Sri Ramanuja. 31. Sri Ramanuja carried holy water for the worship of the Lord who adorns the elephant mountain (Hastigiri) and who emerged from that Aswamedha sacrifice performed by Brahma and he gives light to us. 32 Saraswathi, the goddess of speech and learning and the abode of all sentiments stationed herself always in you, the saint and thereby rightly became saintly herself. As a result of this, she (Yatipati's Saraswati je Yatipati's philosophy) would not tolerate the union with her husband (the Yoga of Brahma ie Kapila's philosophy) (This has reference to Adhikarana 2 in the first Pada of the second Adhyaya in Sri Bhashya). 33. Blesssd is he who is dependent on the feet of Sri Lakshmanacharya ie Sri Ramanuja. He never finds himself in trouble. 34. May the respected lotus-like feet of Sri Ramanuja shine always in our minds, so that the multitude of troubles tremble. get frightined and melt away from us instantaneously. 35. May the particles of dusts which emanate from letus-like feet of Sri Ramanuja and are borne by the numerous virtuous persons on their heads and drive away the miseries that arise from this worldly life, 54 ·36. That person who is delighted to be the servant of Sri Ramanuja for ever is definitely revered in the world, He certainly keeps away the havocs of sins. He indeed attains all the prosperity in this world. 37. Alas ! left in the midst of forest by Yadavaprakasa and others you were brought near to Kanchi in no time by a hunter who came along with his consort and who desired to drink water) restore and protect the supremacy of the Lord on earth for ever. (It is noteworthy that 'Rasa' in Sanskrit means 'water' as well as Para Brahma', 'Patukama' means 'desirous to drink' as well as desirous to protect'.) 38. O! Sri Ramanujal learned men indeed say that you are a wonderful 'avatara'. This is proper and true because you were born in the month of 'Chitra' ('Chitravatara' means 'wonderful avatara' as also 'one who was born in chitra'). Therefore, there is no wonder in this for those who think over, 39. I always meditate on Sri Ramanuja who is an ardent devotee at the feet of Sriman Narayana, wears Saffron clothes, bears Tridanda and religious marks, and possesses excellent compassion in the mind. 40 O! Sri Ramanuja ! the minds of vedic scholars are filled with extreme happiness as they come to know that the philosophies of Kapila and others have been cleanly swept away by your sayings full of logic of a high order. 55 ·41. Ol my mind worship Sri Ramanuja who was born in the star of Bhava ie shiva, can cut off bhava le this worldly miserable life and pleases the mind of Bhava's grand-father, le Sriman Narayana. Then there will be a continuous row of bhava se prosperity both in this world and in the next world and so you can remain unperturbed. 42. May the writings of Sri Ramanuja which are simple, stylish, deep with meanings, pleasing to all the Vedas, palatable to Lord Sriman Narayana and highly respected even by scores of other schools of thought, always shine in my mind. 43. Ol my friend always have around your neck (in your mind) a necklace wherein the series of several names of Sri Ramanuja form the precious stones Then, the fearful king of serpents namely the samsara will not dance in your mind. (It is noteworthy that Mantrikas give sacred thread to be worn around the neck as a cure for snakebite.) 44, O! my glorious companionl as a result of singing in praise of Sri Ramanuja, the emperor of saints, it is certain that the Leelas filled with glory of Sriman Narayana whose broad chest is adorned by Sri Lakshmi will appear in front of you. 45. O! Sri Ramanujal as my mind indulges in following the women and playing the games favoured by cupid, I am bewildered. Tant roaming about in theforest full of fear from Samsara and am perplexed. Please have a slightly (merciful) look on me. 56 ·46 The unblemished sayings of Sri Ramanuja, though brief, contain all the meanings. Knowing this, the scholars are always engaged in serving at his feet with pleasure 47. If you are afraid of Samsara which is full of many miseries like torments inflicted by yama etc, then meditate on the lotus-like feet of Sri Ramanuja (Yatibrindanatha) whose heart is immersed in only the Leelas of Sri Krishna (Yaduvamsanatha) 48. By the grace of the Son of Vasudeva and Devaki, whose chest is beautiful by the graceful presence of Sri Lakshmi and who plays in several ways on this earth, Sri Ramanuja excels in eloquence. In him, I take refuge 49. My mind has been very much stupefied by cupid who is merely an abode of all sins and is only opposed to meditating on the feet of the Lord. To be benefitted, I take refuge in the esteemed and benevolent Yatiraja. 50. As my mind is surrounded by sinful thoughts influenced by Kali, the Lord, the consort of Kamala has become unkind to me for ever. I worship that Kamalapati by the grace of Sri Ramanuja who is the brother of Kamala and who is the dwelling place of compassion, (It may be noted that the poet is a descendent of Kamala, sister of Ramanuja.) 57 ·51. Mankind which offers a host of prostrations to him whose mind is attached to Sri Ramanuja adorned by Trıdanda, who is an ocean of good qualities and who gives all the principal objects of human life, achieves all in this world. 52 Meditate on this wonderful spiritual preceptor, who is adorned with twelve religious symbols white in colour like curd, milk, kunda flower and moonlight and accompanied by beautiful and auspicious yellow lines. 53. O! my friend ! if you are bewildered by the forest of samsara (this worldly life) full of innumerable torments and want a best friend to help you to come out of it, then make efforts to recite the glory of Sri Ramanuja who judged the countless good qualities of the Lord having the sun as his abode and known by the name, "Uth" (It is significant here that "Uth" in combination with "Gantum" means to come out Further "Uthgantum" is suggestive of the meaning "to reach the Lord, Uth".) 54. I bow to the magnanimous Sri Ramanuja who felt jubilant by becoming the disciple of Sri Mahapurna the great preceptor, after receiving from Sri Kancheepurna six holy commandments proclaimed by Lord Varadaraja Himself 55 | take refuge in the two lotus-like feet of Sri Ramanuja who ascended the mountain at Tirupati walking on his knees by bending the legs as he did not consider It proper to lay his feet on the mountain which is the body of Lord Srinivasa. 58 ·56. Adisesha, who has taken the form of the mountain at Tirupati told Sri Ramanuja that the revered earth was his (Adisesha's) crest-jewel and his (Sri Ramanuja's) lotus feet were the ornaments for the earth, and asked him why then he was hesitant to place his feet on the mountain (Adisesha). 57. Seeing these two, Lord Venkatapati Himself suddenly appeared there On worshipping the Lord, the revered king of mountains became drenched by the tears of happiness flowing out of his eyes 58 I pay obeisance to you who are the brother of Lord Rangaraja's consort (Sri Andal), who pleasingly offered holy water for the worship of Lord Devaraja, who are nothing but the mountain of Lord Srinivasa (Adisesha) and who are the father of Lord Sampath Kumara 59. Sri Ramanuja's figure is adorned by the religious symbols and the Tridanda (Pundra Tridanda Parimandita gatra), Cupid is adorned by the arrows of flower (Pundra means religious symbol as well as flower) and the bow of sugar cane (Ikshudanda in place of Trıdanda) (Pundre- Kshudanda Parimandita gatra). So Sri Ramanuja is another cupid. But what a wonder! This cupid, Sri Ramanuja, makes even males attached to the Supreme Male (Supreme Being, Parama Purusha) and makes them extremely viituous, I am aware of this. 60. The followers of Sri Ramanuja's philosophy are unconquered by others. They cause the misery inflicted by yama to be driven away by the garland of Tulasi which they wear on their bodies. May those revered ones be pleased with me. 59 ·61. For him who worships at the feet of Sri Ramanuja, the intellect will be excellent, the status will be very high, there will be a great attachment towards the Lord and there will not be even a speck of fear from this worldly life. 62, Sri Ramanuja, the emperor of Acharyas triumpts. His sayings are lucid in style, very deep with meanings sacred, capable of being acquired only by the blessed ones, very sweet, generous, auspicious and revered and they contain series of truths in their entirety. 63. Sri Ramanuja, the emperor of of Acharyas triumphs. His whole teachings are unequalled, very attractive, sacred, capable of being acquired only by the blessed ones, destructive of the grave sins caused by the powerful "Kalı', 'Kalpaka' tree to the needy and palatable to the lotus-eyed Lord. 64, O! Sri Ramanuja! the greatest of Acharyas ! your utterance is attractive to the mind like a lotus The bee (shatpada) finds happiness in the lotus. So also Dwaya Mantra (Shatpada) finds happiness in your utterance. Your utterance is clear like the sky. The sky is a container of light because there are innumerable stars (satkula). Your ulterance is also a container of light for the noble men (satkula). It is pure like the mind of the sages. It establishes the whole truth. 65. May Sri Ramanuja who is clad in saffron clothes and adorned with the religious symbols, with the Tridanda in hand, wooden sandals in feet and the works of Sri 60 ·Vishnuchitta's daughter (Sri Andal) in thought, give me prosperity. 66. He whose mind is attached to the lotus-like feet of Sri Ramanuja and who is not associated with anything else in this world, is my best relative, dearest and confidential companion and preceptor and he only is the Supreme Being for me. 67. The wonderful Sri Bhashya filled with the auspicious letters that have flowed out of Sri Ramanuja's mouth and also with lots of essence taken out from Srutis, Smrutis and itihasas, which conforms to the path of the sutras of Sri Parasara's son (Sri Vyasa) and is accredited by the scholars, shines. 68. The Geeta which the lord preached long ago with His mind filled with joy keeping the cane inside the cloth tied around his head, showing the symbol of knowledge by one hand and holding the reigns by the other, shines now very well having bern adorned by the Bhashya (commentary) of Sri Ramanuja. 69. He who learns the Gadya of Sri Ramanuja attains more jubilation than by always studying good and novel literary works, sciences, logic, srutis, smrutis, itihasas and philosophies. 70. May Sri Ramanuja who wrote the Vedartha sangraha, whose sayings are full of established truths, who gives terror to Yama, who is praised by the scholars, who made his time look like 'kritayuga' and who showers com- 61 ·passion, protect me who committed sins but not performed any perificatory ceremonies (for the sins) 71 The great and merciful Sri Ramanuja shines well and protects the mankind by writing the wonderful and valuable book called 'Nitya' which appears very small to the eyes but is great by its value and is pleasing to the Lord. 72 I daily enjoy the works of Sri Ramanuja which are very pleasant, sweet, unequalled, revered and attractive to the mind of the Lord and which flowed out in plenty from Sri Ramanuja's mouth like the nectar from the moon This great pleasure is pervading my mind 73 After enjoying the works of Sri Ramanuja which flowed out from his mouth like the nector from the moon even the Lord, the consort of Sri Devi, Himself became intoxicated with joy, left His dear fiancee in Delhi and came to the top of the Yadu mountain and is stationed there with all His glory. He told his fiancee who also came to the Yadu mountain later, the above reason for leaving her at Delhi. 74. After bowing to the lotus-like feet of Sri Ramanuja, if a person starts the study of philosophy, he really enjoys great and unequalled pleasure. He spends his days joyfully in this Kalı age. 75. Let Kalı himself in perplexity spread perturbation which is ruthless, full of filth and the root of series of sins. Even then, a person engrossed in the works of Sri 62 ·Ramanuja which are full of lots of essence from the srutis, smrutis and it hasas attains happiness 76 I bow to those learned men who enjoy Sri Ramanuja's works, who study them with reverance and who carry the books containing the works, as I consider them as Sri Ramanuja 77. Sri Ramanuja was born in a great, sweet and celebrated clan called 'Asuri' at a divine place of pilgrimage which is beautiful, sacred and respected by all and known in the world by the name, 'Sriperumbhudhur' in a mixture of the languages of gods and men le Sanskrit and Tamil ('Sri, Bhu & Dhur' are, in the opinion of the poet, in sanskrit and 'perum' is in Tamil) 78. This land (Bhu) where Sri Ramanuja was born carries the worthy affluence(SI) and the heavy load(Dhur) of good qualities of virtuous men So, this place which has got such a name le Sriperumbhudhur is famous in the world. The above truth is understood by those who examine the letters used in the name. 79: Sri Ramanuja is always attached to Lord Rama who is blue like a waterilly. He has given up all the mundane desires and is interested only in doing good to his devotees He gives out his intellect in the form of very sweet sayings. May he come to my mind and always be dancing there. He is carry- 80. Sri Ramanuja is an unequalled God ing saffron clothes around his waist and there by his body is attractive. He gives prosperity He possesses beauti- 63 ·ful personality with the auspicious and bright religious marks May he grant whatever my mind desires. 81. The rows of letters in Sri Bhashya flowed out from the graceful mouth of Sri Ramanuja. It has been written with boundless supreme bliss copiously pouring from his heart. It is superb because it interprets the meanings of the Vedas in their right perspective. May this Sri Bhashya give knowledge and make me attached to the supreme Being in this life 82. Sri Ramanuja is very graceful with the saffron clothes around his body, with the Tridanda in his lotuslike hand and with the religious symbols of white and yellow lines over his body and possesses handsome form with the lovely and auspicious Sikha made of a braid of hair on the head. May the magnanimous and affluent Sri Ramanuja always shine in my mind 83. That preceptor and the greatest of the saints, Sri Ramanuja who possesses all the good qualities and who nourishes with the water from his own hand the tree of the Gods (Kalpaka Vriksha) which is very high, stationed at the top of the elephant mountain (Hastigiri), capable of granting all that is desired (Varada)' worshipped by all always matchlessly merciful and which emerged from the sacrifice performed by the four headed Brahma, shines eternally 84 I bow at the feet of Sri Ramanuja which are equal to red lotus in lustre, which have started to wander about for alms and which are covered by the collection of dust 64 ·of the street. The dust on the ground is made sacred as Sri Ramanuja's feet are laid on it. It is luminous with the marks of the chakra. It grants prosperity. Men take it with the tips of their fingers and carry it on their heads 85 There are two Ramanujas one is Balarama's younger Brothers Sri Krishna and the other is the Yatipati. The Former has His mind attached to the waters of the river, Yamuna and the latter has his mind attached to the sacred preceptor, Yamunacharya. The Former holds in His hand the flute made of superior bamboo and the latter the Trıdanda which is also made of superior bamboo The Former is known in the world as the one whose feet were worshipped by the Yadavas and the latter also by Yadava Yadavaprakasa The Former sang the text (Geeta) which was revered by Devendra's Son (Arjuna) ea lier and the latter wrote commentary thereon I worship the lotuslike feet of them both le, 86 Who am I to tell about the wonderful greatness of the sayings of Sri Ramanuja ? Great scholars like Sri Vatsaguru (Sri Nadathur Ammal) say, "The mind need not be engaged in the study of sastras of Kanada and others or other literary works. The addition to the study of Sri Ramanuja's works gives victory everywhere“. 87 The king of serpents, Adisesha, is the bed for the lotus-eyed Supreme Being Earlier he was born on the earth as Patanjail and wrote the Mahabhashya Then he was born as Pingalamuni and wrote the science of metres in Sanskrit poetry. He was again born as Sri Ramanuja and wrote Sri Bhashya. 65 ·88. In one of his previous births, Sri Ramanuja wrote the Mahabhashya and so became Sri Bhashyakara. He was Pingalamuni himself and so he was born in Pingala. He was a sweet in carnation (Madhurodita-Balarma)and so he was born in Madhu(chittirai) He helps the human beings cross the Bhava je this worldly life and so he was born in the star of Bhava (Siva). All these are well-suited (Sampratham) So, I now (Sampratham) take refuge in him 89 In one of his previous births, Sri Ramanuja found pleasure in writing the Vyakarana (Sanskrit Grammar). During his subsequent birth he found pleasure in writing the science of metres in sanskrit poetry. In this birth, he wrote the two Bhashyas, Gadyathrayam and Vedartha sangraha all full of essence. Thus Sri Ramanuja is shining like a light for ever. 90. Ol my mind i be devoted to that which is sweet by having the letters 'Sri Ramanuja' in the inital part of its name ie 'Sri Ramanuja patrika' as also Sri Ramanuja Guru Both have made the land sacred by their movements and are revered by the virtuous men. The former's contents are lurminous by the bright writings of the complete and great scholar of Kanchipuram (Sri U-ve Prativadı bhayankaram Annangracharya swami) The latter has his mind glowing by the bright teachings of the great preceptor, Kancheepurna' The former is a Journal containing lovely and new works which are full of numerous inter pretations of the Vedas. The latter is Sri Ramanuja guru from whom only nine auspicious and new works containing plenty of interpretations of the vedas emanated 66 ·91 01 Lakshmana ! (Sri Ramanuja)! yatındul your name consists of three letters-This is known by the three worlds. Commentaries on the Brahmasutras have been written by you in three different forms You have written three Gadyas. You have also elaborated the speech (Geeta) of the Lord (Tridhama) and the same is in three groups of six chapters (eighteen adhyayas) You are the author of three three ie, nine works. You are one of the three greatest saints. You hold Trıdanda (made of three sticks). I bow to you 92 Sri Nigamantha Desika in the hymn dedicated to you has written one excellent verse,"Gatha Talhagatanam Reciting that excellent verse, we, desirous of resuscitating our souls, will not, even in the dream think of the other schools of thought containing magnified misinterpretations, will get all our torments removed and attain eternal bliss. 93. O my mind I do not go after women, I Meditate on Sri Ramanuja. All these women (Ramas) are sisters (Anujas) Don't make them your wives by lust 94 If the mind is kept at the lotus feet of Sri Ramanuja for a while, then there will not be fear even of the magnitude of a small fraction of a grain from the thought about yama and his abode (Naraka). 95. Sri Ramanuja is Pingalamuni himself as he was born in the year, Pingala. Pingalamuni was the birth place of innumerable metres of high qualities in Sanskrit poetry, which are capable of giving series of prosperity. Sri Ramanuja is the object of praise in this stotra (Yatipati- 67 ·shannavati) containing innumerable metres of high qualities capable of giving series of prosperity. 96. 01 Sri Ramanuja! the great saint ! You are most revered. You have elaborated in lovely prose form the Gita told to Arjuna (vasava bhavaya datta) Therefore, you are our dearest relative (subandhu ) (It is to be noted that Subandhu is the author of Vasavadatta a prose work). 97 I take refuge in Sri Ramanuja who felt very happy by giving his own Sri Bhashyasımhasana to his nephew who was a top-ranking preceptor in my clan (Sri Nadathur Alwan) (The author of this wortk is a descendant of Sri Nadathur Alwan). 98. This 'Yatipati shannavati' is venerable and triumphant like the Supreme Being. The Yatipati shannavati (shannavatı signifies the basic thread for Yagnopavita) is worth fondling on the good shoulders of high-ranking brahmins (Dvijapatı) The Supreme Being is carried with utmost devotion by Garuda (Dvijapatı) on his good shoulders The Yatipati Shannavati is small in the beginning and grows bigger and bigger Likewise the Lord was small initially in the vamanavatara) and grew bigger and bigger (Trivikrama) 99 This Yatipati Shannavatı (this composition of 96 verses on Sri Ramanuja) possesses high qualities, is pure and contains good metres. It has the affluence of the Supreme Being May it always be an ornament for the necks of the virtuous men (Kanthabharana)(Let the virtuous men be always reciting it and thereby become 68 ·affluent). (Shannavati signifies the basic thread for the Yagnopavita, kept in rolls of 96 in number. In this verse, the basic thread is discribed in pun as follows). The Shannavati is made of thread of good quality, is pure and contains numerous good circles (rolls). It possesses brahminical glow. May it always be an ornament (Yagnopavita) for the neck of the virtuous men. 100. This Yatipati Shannavati written by srinidhi, the gem of poets, gives all prosperity to him whose mind is engaged in reading it. 69
