Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Nanjeeyar asked Bhattar "A srivaishnava must recite
the divine namas of the Lord and gain salvation. But
is there no qualification required to say His names?
Should one who is lowly in qualities be able to say
His names?"

Bhattar replied "One who is qualified can just recite
the divine namas. However, it is not required that 
one is lowly in qualities has to gain qualification 
to do the same.

For one who believes that saying the divine namas
would create goodness, would not the namas 
themselves remove the sins that he had done before
reciting them?

If one wishes to take a bath in the Ganga river to
get rid of their sins, is it required that they have
to take a bath in another pond first?

Therefore, it is not required that one has to get
rid of the sins before saying His names. The divine
names themselves will remove his sins and provide 
him with all the qualifications".

Azhvar Emberumanar Jeeyar Thiruvadigale Sharanam
