02. Yathiraja:
Bhagavad Ramanuja renounced household life and took to asceticism. Kanchi Varadaraja called him "Varum Yathiraja!' (Yati- Saint, Raja- King, King of Saints) and enjoyed calling him.
03. Udaiyavar:
Thiruvarangam came from Kanchi and Thiruvarangan performed the Thiruvadi prayer. At that time, Thiruvarangan said to his eyes, "O Lord of Warir M! Now Ubaya Vibhuti is yours too! Now, you!

Ramanuja visited the priest Thirkoshtyur Nambi 17 times. The 18th time, he received Sathya Nambi Sankalp from Sri Ramanuja. He preached a mantra secretly to Ramanuja that he should not reveal the meaning of the mantra "Namo Narayana" to anyone else. Ramanuja, who received the meaning of the mantra, gave it to everyone to get the pleasure that Yan had obtained. He thought it would not matter if he got to hell. Seeing this, the Tirkoshtiyur Nambis were astonished that Adiyen had never had such a good idea before. Counting Ramanuja's expansive heart, he kissed him and asked, "Are you the Lord?"
05. Shri Bhashyakar:
One of the three manorathas of Sri Alavantar, Tirupera of Srimad Nathamunis, is a commentary on the Brahma Sutra blessed by Sri Vedavyasa in Visishtadvaita Siddhanta method. Bhagwat Ramanuja, who went on a pilgrimage to Vada Desha, obtained the Bodayana Vridhi Granth through many difficulties. On his return to Srirangam, Bhagwat Sri Ramanuja wrote a bhashyam (explanatory text) on the Brahma Sutras with the help of Koorathalvan, appointed Kidambiachan as his disciple, and submitted them to the Thiruvadis of Srisarasvati Devi in the Srisarada Peetha of Kashmir for recognition. arranged. Devi Sri Saraswati also praised Bhagavad Ramanuja by holding her hair on her head and named her "Sri Bhasyakarkar" and honoured her by giving the idol of Hayagrivar.
06. Tirupavaijiyar
Ramanuja, a devotee of Tirupavai, one day in the month of Margazhi, while crawling on the street singing Tirupavai, came in front of the house of his priest Sri Periya Nambi, and fell upon seeing his wife Athuja. A startled aunt told this to her father. Sri Periyanambis who admired the love of Ramanuja's Tirupavai said "Tirupavai Jeeyare" and was happy.
07. Namkoilannar
When Bhagwat Ramanujar Nachiyar interpreted the Tirumozhi Pasurams, he explained the meaning of the Pasuram "Naru Narum Pozhil Maliruncholai Namiku".

Ujar fulfilled it and then Sri went to Williputhur.On entering the temple, Andal from Archa form called out, "Annave Varum my Koil". Ramanuja offered a throne to Andal, who called him "Anna". Even today Sri Andal, Sri Ranga Mannar and Sri Garuda are sitting on that throne placed in Artha Mandapam. Although Andal's incarnation occurred before Bhagwat Ramanuja's incarnation, we worship Andal's life in Tirunam.

Thirukkottiyur Nambis prayed to Thiruvaranga Perumal Araiyar to tell Bhagwat Ramanuja some important artha vishes. Ramanuja also treated the priest Thiruvarangapperumal Araiyar very kindly by giving him the Palamudu Chichi and doing many other things. After doing charity for six months, he learned the meaning of the Stotra Ratnam and Satusloki blessed by Sri Alavandar. Thiruvarangaperumal Arayar, like Lakshmana's elder brother Sri Ramapiran, was selfless and worked day and night, so our Ramanuja's actions are similar, so he was happy to call him 'Lakshmanamuni'.
