Simple Translation

The good attributes of soul are codified by Vedas etc. as follows – abstinence from killing, speaking the truth, non-cruelty, controlling mind, purity in heart, control of senses, perseverance, liberality, knowledge etc.   It is appropriate to say that Mamunigal is the possessor of all these attributes. In such a case, researchers feel happy to say that there will not be anyone other than Mamunigal, possessing these attributes.  In the fourth line of the Sloka, the word api is added with athra and given the meaning. I am residing in Srirangam, where Nathamaunigal, Yamunacharya and other Purvacharyas who were not aware of any deception in their lives resided. Whereas I am full such bad qualities that disqualify me from living in Srirangam. It means that, is there any greater sin?
