Sharanagati Gadyam

[3] According to Sri Vaishnava tradition, Ramanuja and his disciples once visited the Ranganatha temple in Srirangam on panguni uttiram, a day in the Tamil calendar month of panguni (phalguna) on the day of the ascension of the star called uttiram.

According to tradition, the star uttiram was in ascent when the goddess of the temple, Ranganayaki, (Lakshmi) was born, and also the day she married the god Ranganatha (Vishnu).

Instead, it is a pure expression of bhakti and describes a transcendental conversation between Ramanuja and Narayana with Sri (Lakshmi).

[5] He first describes the limitless kindness of Sri, and asks that she recommend him to Narayana, viewing the goddess as the accessible nature of God.

He explains that he has committed many sins and is ignorant of philosophy and asks that he be accepted into the list of devotees of Narayana.

The Sharanagati Gadyam is dedicated to Vishnu and Lakshmi, whose statues are featured in this image at Tirumala
