SrImate rAmAnujAya nama:

Looking for word-by-word meaning and purport of the following
sAtvika-tyAga Sloka, recited prior to commencing vaidika-kriya-s.

bhagavAn-eva sva-niyAmya svarUpa-sthiti
pravRtti  sva-Seshataika-rasena anena AtmanA
kartrA svakIyai: ca upa-karaNai:
svArAdhanaika-prayojanAya parama-purusha:
sarva-SeshI Sriya:pati: sva-Sesha-bhUtam-idam
...Akhyam-karma svasmai sva-prItaye
svayam-eva kArayati.

( Is it from SrI rAmAnuja's nitya-grantham? )

It should clarify the kaRtRtva.

aDiyEn rAmAnuja-dAsan
//Ramkumar

[ The sAttvika-tyAga mentioned in nitya-grantha is of a slightly
  different form and is the one adopted for use in daily ArAdhanam.
  For Sri Ramanuja's idea of sAttvika-tyAga in the Gita, please
  also see http://www.ramanuja.org/sv/bhakti/archives/jun2000/0070.html
