106 In the same manner, setting up the images of the holy ones and Gôda in the holy places of great merit, and arranging. similarly for the Adhyayana festival (festival where the prabandhas chanted), Sriman Ramanujârya lived elevated by the grace of Gôda (as he fulfilled her wish) by providing on a large scale, for the dedication, for the special pleasure of God on the Rishabhagiri (Tirumalirumáôlai) of rice prepared with an.abpndance of ghee and sugar.
107 Having set up at the foot of Venkatadri, Govindaraja who had been brought there in secret from his place (i.e., Chidambaram), as also the images of the Alvârs, Yatiśn with his disciples went to Srirangam and with a view to bringing into his fold those of other persuasions, he organised his disciples into a regular order and lived thereafter in happiness and without fear. 108 Sriman Ramanajs, prince of asectics, a great_Indra among preceptors, made 74 among his followers occupy apostolic seats; in the same manner, he made four among them successors in the apostolic seat in the teaching of the Bhashya; and among these latter, he made his son (in intellect ; Pillân) occupy the highest place as teacher of the two Vedantas (Sanskrit and Tamil) and the Bhashya.
109 In the company of the 74 first disciples, of the 700 ascetic followers and of the 12,000 elect quite close to the Divine, Râmânuja of wonderful lustre, felt happy at seeing even the elder disciples like Kurêsa and others, conduct themselves in obedience to Pillân (Râmânuja's son in intellectual descent) in the manner of elder adopted son towards the younger born son.
110 With the college of discinles ever under the control of conduct as prescribed by the Sastras and known only for their good conduct, Ramanuja (Yatipati) at the importunate entreaty of some, embraced the three images of his (made on the occasion) and ordered that they be set up in Srirangam, Bhutapuri and Yadugiri. So saying he gave them to those disciples and protected the earth. May such a one protect me.
