Purport
By “krtvaa cheta subhaasraye” the meditation on the Supreme Lord in the night was mentioned. Maamunikal leaves the venerable seat for Bhagavad dhyana as indicated by “tatha: kanaka paryanke” and after looking benevelontly at the disciples who were in the devotional chorus he goes to the bed to sleep with deep meditation on the Lord. Erumbiyappa meditates on this Mahamuni who being the incarnation of Adisesha shall have his physique naturally expanded twice in slumber and this graceful sight is a feast for Appa without any obstacle while the Acharya rests. For Mahamuni the focus of meditation is the auspicious form of the Lord while for Appa it is the graceful appearance of the Acharya.We can presume Mahamuni meditates on the Lord for the pleasure of Sri Ramanuja while Appa does so for the pleasure of Sri Rama who made Mamuni to compel Appa to worship Him. Sri Rama’s such a command to Appa is mentioned in Yatindrapravana Prabhavam and also Appa’s own Varavaramuni Satakam.
