If the earlier pAsuram served as mangaLams to SrI rAmAnuja<\/a>\u2019s body parts\/thirumEni, this pAsuram serves as one that is for his character.<\/p>\n arusamayach chediyadhanai adiaRuththAn vAzhiyE!!!<\/em> vAzhiyE – Live for eternity!!! In this pAsuram, maNavALa mAmunigaL<\/a> says, \u201cLong live SrI rAmAnuja<\/a> (1) destroyed the six trees of philosophies that stood outside the boundaries of vEdhas and explained the principles (2) scared away the miscreants of the vEdhas (3) annihilated kali and its impact without leaving any trace of it in this world (4) restored, streamlined and ordered the treasures of SrIrangam (5) gave us the true meaning of vEdhas through his \u201cSrI bhAshyam\u201d (6) spread the essence of thiruvAimozhi<\/a>\u00a0to the interested masses and (7) appeared in the glorious SrIperumbUthUr. Long live SrI rAmAnuja<\/a>\u2019s beautiful lotus feet, the sole refuge for everyone\u201d.<\/p>\n maNavALa mAmunigaL<\/a> sings glores to SrI rAmAnuja<\/a>\u2019s characteristic traits. Firstly, he starts to sing glories by praising SrI rAmAnuja<\/a> as the one who annihilated the roots of six trees of philosophies. As per the phrase, \u201csAkhyOlukhyAkshapAdhakshpaNaka kapilapathanjali madhANusAriNa:\u201d, there are six philosophies that exist outside the realms of vEdhas. SrI rAmAnuja<\/a> destroyed their roots completely. Then, maNavALa mAmunigaL<\/a> sings glories to SrI rAmAnuja<\/a> who made some people run helter-skelter. These people were none other than those who misinterpreted vEdhas as described by the phrase \u201cnAn maRaiyum niRkak kuRumbu sey nIsarum mANdanar<\/em> (irAmAnusa nURRandhAdhi<\/a> 99)\u201d. All these aforementioned people and the ideas that they were able to spread hitherto was due to the evil force known as \u201ckali\u201d that was widely prevalent and that which engulfed this whole world. This was described by the phrase \u201caRusamayam pOnadhu ponRi iRandhadhu venkali<\/em> (irAmAnusa nURRandhAdhi 49)\u201d. However, SrI rAmAnuja ensured that there is no trace of kali and its effects in this world. maNavALa mAmunigaL<\/a> sings glories to such a benevolent SrI rAmAnuja<\/a>. After this, he sings glories for SrI rAmAnuja<\/a> who ordered, administered and streamlined the treasures of srIrangam and its routine, as per the phrase \u201cSrIman SrIrangaSriyam anubhadhravAm anudhinam samvardhayA<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n The vEdhas were in a constant state of fear for it depended on the person who explains it. Those who does not construe it comprehensively would not be able to the true purport and hence a lot would be lost in translation. SrI rAmAnuja<\/a> removed this fear of vEdhas as he wrote his famous \u201cSrI bhAshyam\u201d (a commentary of vEdha vyAsar\u2019s brahma sUthram). With the aid of \u201cSrI bhAshyam\u201d, he spread the true essence of esoteric meaning of vEdhas, after understanding them completely. mAmunigaL sings glories to SrI rAmAnuja<\/a> who did this. In the invocatory verses (thaniyan) of thiruvAimozh<\/a>i, there is a phrase that says \u201cvaLarththa idaththAi irAmAnusan<\/em>\u201d. maNavALa mAmunigaL<\/a> sings mangaLams to SrI rAmAnuja<\/a> who helped the thamizh vEdham, also known as \u201cthiruvAimozhi<\/a>\u201d, to grow and spread among people. The essence of SaraNAgathi (total surrender to SrIman nArAyaNan) that was extolled in thiruvAimozhi was spread to the masses. It\u2019s reach to the common man can be solely attributed to SrI rAmAnuja<\/a> who appeared in SrIperumbUthUr to do just this task. maNavALa mAmunigaL<\/a> salutes him for this wonderful service to the human kind. Finally, maNavALa mAmunigaL<\/a> concludes by saying \u201cLong live the glorious wonderful feet of SrI rAmAnuja<\/a>, the one\u00a0replete with beauty\u201d. The adjective \u201cazhagArum\u201d can be used for the noun \u201cadiyiNaigal\u201d (twin feet). When used in this manner, it would mean that the twin feet are akin to two beautiful lotus flowers. Not only that, it would also mean the inherent and natural beauty of SrI rAmAnuja<\/a>‘s feet as such. The phrase \u201caRamigu naR perumbUdhur<\/em>\u201d can also mean that SrI rAmAnuja<\/a> is someone who has a lot of dharmam, as shown by the phrase \u201cirAmAnusan mikka puNNiyan<\/em> (irAmAnusa nURRandhAdhi<\/a> 91)\u201d.<\/p>\n Translation by santhAna rAmAnuja dhAsan<\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 https:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Full Series << Previous Introduction In the earlier pAsuram, maNavALa mAmunigaL sang mangaLams (glories) to SrI rAmAnuja more than once.
