Simple Translation
In the fourth Sloka, my words need to be encouraged in pronouncing the attributes of Sri Ramanuja. Now, in this Sloka, in contrast, my words abusing and disrespecting the Acharya, Mantra and God resultantly became ignorant and requested to eradicate the same. Disrespecting Acharya means the following – what is to be dispensed is not dispensed and what is to be taken is not taken as preached by him, to do upadesa for the persons who are not eligible to know, for the sake of my own fame or honour or for money. Disrespecting the Mantra means hiding the true meaning of the Mantra and preaching the devious meaning. Disrespecting the God who is mentioned in the Mantra means that not using the word, deed and body which were created by Sriman Narayana for Him only and using them for other petty pursuits. One can read the portion elaborately dealt with in Srivachana Bhushanam. The word Aho means wonderful – Since in the world no one can see a sinner like me who has no fear to do sin – hence it wonders to me.
