ஸ்ரீ ரங்க கடியம்
,
This is Sanskrit composition by Sri Ramanuja.It is pure expression of Bakthi and detailed expression of God Ranganatha, as repository of guna, that he calls kalyana guna meaning “virtuous”.
First he describes Ranganatha as gnyan(true and perfect knowledge),
Bhala or power, in this case the ability to support Universe,
Aishwarya (incomparable wealth and rulership of the universe),
Shakthi(power to act without extraneous help)
agni (unmatched radiance),
souseelya (purest character)
Vaatsalya(pure unmitigated love),
maardavaa(affectionate tenderness towards devotees)
Aarjava(honesty),
souhardha(thinking of good
only)
samya(equanimouse)karunya(merciful)
madhurya(sweet even to
enemies)
Gambeerya (majesty and nobility)
Audherya(giving out
liberally)
chathurya (intelligence,
ability to change even enemies into friends)
sthairya (determined to stay
on chosen course)
Dhairya(undaunted to bring succor
to the Bhaktas,
Sowrya(ability to fight alone)
Parakrama (winning the battle
effortlessly,
Sathya karma(having Thy will
ever fulfilled)
sathya sankalpa(having Thy
deeds fully executed)
Kritithuvam(carrying out
duties of God)
kruthangnathai(remembering with gratitude even a little worship offered
to Him),
and repository and ocean of all such innumerable virtues;He
is Parabrahman and Purushothaman(foremost of men)
Next he explains how is trapped in samsara and bound by his
Karma into doing actions that result in
sins. Neither gnan yoga, the yoga of knowledge nor Karma yoga,the part of
virtuous deeds as described in Baghavat Gita help him get Moksha.
Finally he asks that unworthy as he is in so many ways, he
be granted the grace of Ranganatha.
