Ramanuja at Kanchipuram

Idam gyanam upashritya mama sadharmyam agatah I
Sarge api na upajayante pralaye na  vyathanti cha II sloka 2
इदं ज्ञानं उपाश्रित्य मम साधर्म्यम् आगताः I 
सर्गे अपि न उपजायन्ते प्रलये न व्यथन्ति च II श्लोक 2

Resorting to this knowledge, partaking of my nature, they are not born at the time of creation, nor do they suffer at the time of dissolution.

They 'resorting to this knowledge, which will be explained later, come to partake of my nature, and they attain my status. " They are not born at the time of creation, they are not subjected to the process of creation, and they do not suffer at the time of dissolution. that is they are not subjected to the distress involved in the dissolution of the universe.
Boiled paddy dos not sprout when sowed in the field. But the unboiled grain keeps on propogating. The man bathed in the fire of Brahma jnana is no more troubled with births and deaths. But the ignorant one cannot escape from that ordeal.
Sri Ramakrishna Paramahmsa
