Meaning

Translation

All auspiciousness to You Srī Rāmānujācharya! You are the bestower of auspiciousness to all. 1) You are the emperor of all sages. You are the repository of compassion. You showed us the path of complete surrender to the Lord. You revealed to us our true Dharma (our duty) - that is to serve the Lord with love and devotion. You removed the ignorance of multitude of people by righteous interpretation of the scriptures. 2) You established worship of Lord Nārāyana in the town of Sāligrām. You told Your nephew Mudaliandan Swāmī (known as Yathirāj’s paduka, born to serve Srī Rāmānujachāraya) to place His Feet in the drinking water pond (area called Saligram). Partaking the Srīpada theertham, the mind of the evil-doers changed and they fell at Srī Rāmānuja’s Feet. You hold the holy triple staff (dhanda). You were the very affectionate elder brother to Godadevi (Andal). 3) Srī Rāmānujachāraya is the highest ideal of Srī Vaishnavism (most precious jewel) who performed incessant service to Lord Srī Ranganatha in Srī Rangam. O Srī Rāmānujācharya, You are my Lord. You are the bearer of the Earth presiding over both material and eternal infinite realms. You are always there for all. By chanting Your glories, may we all receive Your auspiciousness.
