Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:

890. anupaDhi parirakshEnnEkaputhrABhimAnAdh
     BhuvanamidhamashESham pAdhukE! ranganATha:
     nijapadhanihithAyAm dhEvi! thiShtan brajan vA
     thvayi nihithaBharOBhUth kim puna: svApamrucChan

Oh Paaduka Devi! Lord Ranganatha shoulders the burden of protecting 
all beings. He does it all by Himself. He does it without expecting 
any return, unlike what is usually the world's habit. The love, care, 
and concern that He bears in respect of each individual being, is the 
same as one (or He) would show towards an only son. The magnitude of 
His burden can now be imagined. He has perhaps, this on His own 
shoulder when seated. But by simple logic He may be regarded as 
entrusting the whole to You; when He is asleep. When standing or 
walking, the whole weight of His is borne by You along with His 
burden of world-protection. Could one say that He bears the weight of 
yours, while walking? You protect the Feet and that enables the Lord 
to walk! While He is asleep, You bear Him as Adisesha. Thus Your role 
as the role of Azhvar and Acharyas offering correct guidance to 
people, is so much cardinal that the Lord chooses incumbents for the 
assignments after elaborate testing. The worth of sadhacharyas has to 
be understood in this spirit.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
 
SlOkam 890
 
1) UthtamUr  Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Devi PadhukA ! RanganAthA carries 
the weight of the Universe in the spirit of a father caring  for His 
only son. Without any incentive but purely out of His compassion, He 
places His feet inside You(PaadhukAs)  and the burden of carrying the 
load of the universe falls on You as well. Thus, You help Him to 
carry the burden, when He is standing or walking .When He engages  in 
Yoga nidhrA, the entire burden of carrying the load of the universe 
falls completely on You. During His sleep, You carry the weight of 
AdhisEshan. The Lord sleeps now without any  worry knowing that You 
are in charge as His representative .
 
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! Lord RanganAthan 
protects the world without expecting anything in returm and displays  
the same  affection a parent shows for his only son. This Lord of 
SrIrangam places the responsibility of protection of the world on 
the capable PaadhukAs, whether He is at His sannidhi or on sanchAram. 
If Lord RanganAtha acts this way during His wakeful hours, one can 
readily imagine that He assigns the protection of the world with the 
Paadhukais , when He engages in nidhrA. Therefore, Oh PaadhukE !
You are the One, who bears the responsibilities of protecting the 
world at all times.
 
3) Oh PadhukE! Lord RanganAtha protects the world without any 
wavering like the Father, who protects his son without seeking any 
rewards ( RanganAtha: asEsham bhuvanam yEka-puthra-abhimAnAth 
anupadhi parirakshan iva).During the time of sanchAram or otherwise, 
Lord RanganAtha places the responsibility of protecting the world with
You standing close to His Thiruvadi ( Thishtan vrajanvA RanganAtha: 
nija padha nihithAyAm Thvayee nihitha bhara: abhUth). If this were to 
be so during His wakeful hours, what is to say about the protection 
of the world, when He sleeps (svApam rucchan kim puna: )? Yes , 
Ofcourse! He entrusts You with that protection as well ...(V.S).
