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

mAtha:! svayam guNaguNEShu mamAparADhAn
Oh Mother Manipaaduka! You are a dear consort of Lord Ranganatha,
caressing His feet with love. You have a definite influence on Him.
You will, therefore, please do me a favour. You impress upon Him that
my faults and sins are to be included in the list of His virtues
since it is His forbearance, mercy, fondness, etc., which shine forth
in His ignoring my badness. If You intervene in this manner on my
behalf, who dares stop it? None!
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
SlOkam 962
1) Utthamur Swamy's anubhavam: Oh MaNi PaadhukE ! You bring
honor on Yourself by serving RanganAthA's sacred feet and holding
on to it firmly . Therefore , who can feel fit to disregard You , who
hide all of our sins in the heap of Your Lord's auspicious attributes
such as compassion, forbearance et al ? Swamy Desikan hints as to
how the PaadhukAs protect the sinners. He says that the PaadhukAs
intercede with the Lord to forgive sinners at the time of serving His
holy feet .
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh Gem-studded Paadhukais of
the Lord of SrIrangam ! Why should I suffer from your slow efforts
to cleanse my mind filled with sins ? Is it not so that my sufferings
are due to Your Lord's anger over my trespasses and condemning me
to travel along the dire SamsAric path full of sorrows ? You are my
dear Mother and the fond wife o the Lord . You are always holding on
to Your Lord's sacred feet . With Your antharanga Kaimkaryams to
Your Lord , You gladden your Lord's heart . He by svabhAvam is
filled with DayA . When He is in a joyous mood due to Your intimate
service , You should intercede for us with appropraite words and
remove His anger towards us , the aparAdhis . Do n' t You have
DayA for us to intervene on our behalf with Your Lord ? Is some one
holding you back from taking such action ? That You do not take this
initiative on behalf of me is only due to my heap of Paapams .
3) Oh MaNi PaadharakshE ! You are the holder of the sacred feet of
Your Lord , who has His abode inside the Ranga VimAnam ( Thvam
RangavasathE : dEvasya charaNayO: SamvAhikA ). Are n' t You also His
dear consort ( DayithA nanu? ) . Oh Mother ( Maatha:) ! Who can stop
You ( Ka: nivArayithum arhathi ) from mingling and hiding my sins in
the heap of the auspicious attributes of Your Lord ( Su tath guNa
gaNeshu mama aparAdhAn yOjayantheem ThvAm ka: nivArayithum
arhathi) ? ...(V.S).
