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
