FROM "Shree Ramanuja Stotra Ratnavali - An Anthology on Bhagavad Ramanuja" - http://vishnudut1926.blogspot.ru/2014/01/shree-ramanuja-stotra-ratnavali.html
All the learned disciples of Bhagawad Ramanuja once were seriously debating as to what enabled, Shree Ramanuja to hold sway over all the devoted, whether it was His towering Intellect, His gracious Personality or his Immaculate Character?
They could not come to any conclusion.
They referred to Shree Vatsya Varada Vishnu Guru, the beloved nephew of Shri Ramanuja (Shree Varda Vishnu, popularly known as Nadadoor Alwan, was the son of Ramanuja's younger sister, Kamala, he was crowned as the "Shree Bhashya Simhasanadhipati" by Bhagawad Ramanuja Himself).
Shree Varad Vishnu Guru replied to their question by this verse.
"That, Shree Ramanuja is so Great, is because,
Lord Ranganatha of Shree Rangam,
Lord Venkateshwara of Tirupati,
Lord Varadaraja of Kanchee,
Lord Selvappillai of Thirunarayanapuram (Melkota),
Presiding Deities of scores of other temples,
the great saintly Acharya Alavandar and Thirumalai Nambi have endowed such a gift to Him".
(The essence of this verse is that worshipping Bhagawad Ramanuja is equivalent to worshipping at all these temples and Acharya as he is the Focus for all their grace.)
