       nityaM yatIndra! tava divyavapussmR^itau me *
                saktaM mano bhavatu vAgguNakIrtanesau |
        kR^ityaM ca dAsyakaraNaM tu karadvayasya *

                        Oh, Yateendra! let my mind stand transfixed forever
                        In your physical charm exquisite, and may my power
                        Of speech concentrate on recounting your qualities 
auspicious
                        Let my pair of hands be engaged in your exclusive 
service
                        And these triple faculties be shut against everything 
else.
 
Notes:  
By gunakirtan is meant the laudation of Ramanuja?s ?Daya? or compassion of 
unlimited dimensions, standing right in the vanguard of the vast array of his 
auspicious qualities.

Well, it was all right when the hymnographer wished to keep his mind riveted to 
the 
incessant contemplation of the exquisite charm of Ramanuja?s physical form and 
again when he resolved to keep on singing the praise of the Master?s 
auspicious qualities.  But how would it be possible for him to render bodily 
service unto him that had departed from his abode and gone back to the 
celestium long ago?  But then, even this can very well go on, in the 
Arccha(iconic) state.

The complete and constant rapport between him and Ramanuja, 
in every possible manner, having been directly emphasized, 
that wish is only reinforced in the last line by the indirect method 
of saying that the author?s mind, word and deed should eschew everything else
