SrI:
SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

Dearest all,

Amudhanaar explains his desire to be associated always
with and be at the lotus feet of Sri Ramanujacharya. 

pidiyaith thotarum kaLiRenna yaanun piRangiyacheer
adiyaith thotarum patin^alka vENtum aRuchamayach
sediyaith thotarum maruLcheRin^ thOrsithain^
thOtavanthip 
padiyaith thotarum iraamaa Nnucha!mikka paNdithanE! 63

The religions that have been filled with distorted
facts and illusory phenomena have been taken up by
those who are now being chased away with thundering
logic and Vedic proof by Sri Ramanuja. He is here in
this world to preach and advise against such pitfalls.
He wanders everywhere looking for people and act
accordingly to let them comprehend his philosophy;
Such Great Most compassionate RamanujA! The One with
unlimited jnAnam! Please bless me with the mentality
and strength to enable me to hold and follow Your
Glorious Lotus Feet at all times! 

aRu samaya sediyai- the plants of six religions
thodarum maruL- the darkness engulfing and continuing
because of [them]
seRindhOr- those who have had such darkness [following
those religions]
sidhaindhu Odi- for them to run away with shame and
fear
vandhu- [He] came here and took this avathAram
e padiyai thodarum iraamaanusa mikka paNdithanE- Oh
Greatest scholar! Ramanuja! The one who continues this
task [of conquering other religions] on this earth!
Pidiyai thodarum kaLiRu enna- Like the female elephant
following faithfully the male elephant in full faith 
Yaan un- I [to you]
piRangiya seer adiyai thodarumpadi nalga vaeNdum-
Please bless me to hold onto the resplendent and
shining lotus feet [of yours] 

AzhwArs with extreme devotion to the Lord assumed
themselves as the nAyaki and the Lord as Purusha [as
He is the only PurushOtthaman]. In Naayaki bhAvam,
they were in love with the Lord and wanted to unite
with Him. 

On similar lines, Amudhaar longs for holding onto the
feet of Acharya like a female elephant holding onto
the male elephant. The desire and love shall be only
for Him- says Amudhanaar. He prays to Ramanuja for
blessing him the same. Like the female elephant that
never ever leaves the hold, I would like to hold onto.


aRu samaya- the six religions that were chased away by
the greatest scholar Ramanujacharya..- here we are
reminded of Swami Desikan?s YathirAja sapthathi-
paryAptham paryaChaisham ? ? yatheendra ? thaneeya:
[69th verse]

We have studied Vaisheshika to satisfaction. We have
learnt Nyaya. We have got filled with Meemaamasam as
well. We have mastered Saankhya and Yoga. However, all
this being so, what have we to learn from people who
have been roaring aloud in the dense forests of false
paths, blinded by the night of nescience, when these
systems have been totally demolished by Ramanuja (in
his works, like Sri Bhashyam)?
