He knows the wealth of Rama Bhakti..

Meaning :

O Mind! Tell me honestly which induces unalloyed bliss, material wealth or the wealth of the Lord's darshana and service at His shrine? Which is more delicious? Taste of milk, butter and the curd or the nectarine experience of meditation and worship of Rama , son of Dasharatha? The divine tranquility experienced by one who has controlled his senses is as refreshing as a bath in the Ganga, whereas indulging in carnal pleasures is as detestible as wallowing in the slush of a dirty well. Is it not obviously the height of bliss to sing the glory of the eternal compassionate Lord, rather than flatter or praise a short-lived mortal bloated with arrogance and self conceit?

Lordleela's are so different ..
Made him do th eteertha yatra and compose the Lalgudi pancharatnams and all .. many many melodies.. where bhakti rasa invokes automatically when you sing this great Saints Kritis only ..

Lord nothing is more blissful than service of You and a small place at your feet

Like this Saint Tyagaraj Expressed his views in many many kritis like
Bantu reethi Kolu.. asking for a small place and many many more ..

Composer is not Ramanuja iyengar.correct this please
