There, like a resident first cleans the place of residence first, YathirAjar removed the dirt from my heart. He had such a great greed for correcting me (means: It is impossible. And still he wanted to correct me and tried), that none would have dared. If I come to know of your intentions, I may obstruct and escape from your endeavors, and hence, knowing fully well of that, you have clandestinely operated from within and changed me completely to become the servant /bhakthA of Sri Vallabhan, Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan.. What a dayA on me, Sri RamanujA! Due to Your Parama krupA, EmperumaanaarE! Any other wrong thoughts contradicting to what dEvarIr has taught me, will never ever hereafter enter into my mind. em raamaanusarE!- Oh Ramanuja!- You karutthil pugundhu- entered into my mind and heart uL il kaLLam kazhaRRi- resided therein as your residence and slowly disrobed the misdemeanors. karudha ariya- incomprehensible varutthatthinaal- remorse feeling that this jeevathma is wasting his precious life OR feeling bad for the jeevathma?s wasteful life and taking pity on him miga vanjitthu- pretending as if he is letting me go on my own way; and lets me do that indha maNN agatthE nee thirutthi- on this earth itself- you have transformed me and corrected me- thirumagaL kELvanukku AL aakkiya pin- after making me realize that I am the eternal servant of Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan; maRRu- other than [that I am the sEshan ?servant for Him and realize my eternal sEshathvam, vOr poi poruL en nenjil porundha padaathu- my mind would never ever accept any other illusory false tattvam; or philosophy anymore miga vanjitthu- cheated or deceived or pretended to let me go on my own way and I later find myself follwing what he had preached; Sri Uttamur Swamy narrates a great anecdote: Sri Kethadipatti Swami [dwitheeya Rangaramanuja Mahadesikan Swami] was gracefully present those days as great acharyan. There was one person who came from abroad and wanted to perform bharanyAsam at the feet of Swami. He was given beautiful explanation as to what would be the wonderful divine feeling and anandham one gets at SrivaikuNtam and what all one can get to serve the Lord and how blissful it would be! That person asked if he would get some kind of soup made of raagi [KEzhvaragu- in Tamil.] Acharya saarvabhoumar did not tell that Kezhvaragu or Raagi should not eaten or drunk; one should eat rice etc.. He said: if you want to serve the Lord with great dishes made of raagi there will be plenty there and you can continue to permanently offer Him as if you offer Him akkaaara adisil; He never even said that there would be better grains available and you do not have to go for such lowly stuff. This is the kind of miga vanjitthu- deceiving the sishya and letting him go through the way he wants to and bring him back. Some even ask during bharanyasam- if the Lord would suck them straight to Srivaikuntam as they would like to be here in prakruthi maNdalam; the answer given by the acharyas: No need to worry at all. The Lord would grant you everything for you to prosper here on this earth with complete life and then only grant you moKsham at the end of this birth. This is TRUE, indeed. kaLLam akzhaRRi- removing the misdeameaour of the mind; the cheating- or stealing. If one thinks himself as the swathanthran, then it is equivalent to stealing the AthmA that eternally and originally belongs to the Lord. Thinking that it belongs to us, itself is Stealing. Slolwy EmperumAnAR explains the nithya niroopadhika ananyaarha sEshathvam of jeevathma and removes such a feeling from my mind.
