OH. XXXV. MEMORIALS. 231<br />
Our Elder.s repeat <strong>the</strong> following beautiful verse in praise<br />
<strong>of</strong> Kur6sa on his birth day every year :<br />
'How can Kurfisa be fitly praised, bj- |\vhom oven Ramflnuja's<br />
salvation is made sure,—Rfl,manuja, who is <strong>the</strong> sui'e<br />
passport to o<strong>the</strong>rs' salvation .^ ^<br />
Tradition says that while Ram&nuja or (Lakshmanaoh&rya)<br />
is Lakshmana him.self <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> RsiinEiyana fame, Kurfisa is<br />
Rama himself, born again to render back to Lakshmana, all<br />
<strong>the</strong> services which Lakshmana rendered to him in those bygone<br />
days.<br />
It is said that without Kui-63a, Rfbmanuja<br />
would not have<br />
been what he has been. A. P. Emberuraanar snng <strong>the</strong> praises<br />
<strong>of</strong> R3,mfiinuja in his Dravida RamA.nuja-nuttran-dadi, in imitation<br />
<strong>of</strong> Andhra-Purna's Samskrit RsLmAinuj-Ashtottara ; but<br />
when RS,m§.nuja heard it, he rejected it as it contained no reference<br />
to Kur63a. Verse 7. " Mozhiyai " was <strong>the</strong>n introduced.<br />
Then <strong>the</strong> hymn was sanctioned and assigned a place along witli<br />
<strong>the</strong> 4,000 Prabandhas.<br />
