(5) DEHAAVASANE BHAKTHANAM DADAAMI PARAMAM PADAM = All My devotees are rid of any PRARABDAM, so they need NO MORE bodies to take effects of Prarabdams

(6) Next Acharya to lead RAMANUJA is Periya Nambi, who is a disciple of ALAVANDAR (Yamuna Charya)

RAMANUJA decided to go to Periya Namabi. Lord Ranaganatha also directed the scholars to bring Ramanuja to Srirangam. Periya nambi and Ramanuja started for each other in opposite directions and they met at Madhiranthakam. Ramanuja requested Periya Nambi to accept him disciple unable to wait further. Periya Nambi recognised the ARTHI of Ramanuja and initiated Ramanuja to PANCHA SAMSKARAMS and accepted him as his disciple. Afterwards at KANCHI , Periya Nambi explained Nlayira divya prabandham.

Later RAMANUJA took sacred bath in the TEERTHAM at Kanchi and pledged to Lord VARADA that he would work for Srivaishnavism to establish its supremacy. Lord Varada called him (through Tirukkacchi Nambi) and blessed him as YATHI RAJA. All the scholars started regarding RAMANUJA as JAGAT GURU after he took ASRAMAM as leader.
