Thanian (Dedicatory verse) on Sri Ramanujacharya:

yo nityam acyuta-padAmbuja-yugma-rukma vyAmohatas tad itarANi tRNAya mene | asmad guror bhagavato 'sya dayaika-sindho: rAmAnujasya caraNau SaraNam prapadye ||

- by Kooratthaazhwaan

I take refuge at the feet of our guru Bhagavaan Ramanuja, that ocean of mercy who, infatuated with the gold-like, lotus feet of the Lord, considered all else as mere blades of grass.

kaNdukoN dEnem iraamaa NnusanRannai kaaNdalumE thoNdukoN dEn_avan thodtar_poR RaaLil_en thollai ven^n^Oy viNdukoN dEn_avan seerveLLa vaariyai vaaymaduththin RuNdukoN dEn,innam uRRana Othil ulappillaiyE.

(from Thiruvarangatthamudhanaar's Ramanuja NooRRandhaadhi)

meaning, "Now I have seen my Ramanuja; what a sight it is indeed, it makes me seek to serve the golden feet of his devotees; Now I take just a sip from this ocean of auspicious qualities and all my past karmaas are destroyed, No, there is no end if I start to say more."
