Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

985. kAmAdhidhOSharahitham thvadhananyakAmA:
        karma thrayOdhashaviDham parishIlayantha:
        pAdhAvani! ThavdhanuShangavishEShadhrushya-
        mEkAnthina: paricharanthi padham murArE:

Oh Paaduka! Respectable Sadhus, called paramaikantis, will not 
resort to any other god other than You, and will not look for any 
reward except You. Their routine practice is free from stigmas, like 
attachment to the result of a deed. They are engaged in the thirteen-
fold observance of behavior. With their hearts purified thereby, 
they enjoy rare conjunction of Yourself with the Lord's Feet and 
earnestly render service to You.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
 
SlOkam 985 
 
1) UtthamUr  SWamy's anubhavam : Swamy Desikan refers here to 
the virtues described by the Paadhma samhithai. He points out that
the worshippers of the Paadhukais are practioners of the thirteen 
codes of conduct advocated by the Paadhma Samhithai and they stand 
out while doing  service to the PaadhukAs and the Lord's lotus feet .
Swamy says: "Oh PaadhukE ! There are those , who did not seek 
anything else in this world except service to You. They are devoid 
of ego, lust, desire and other defects and practise the thirteen 
codes of conduct recommended for  the righteous by the Paadhma 
SamhithA. These thirteen break down into five kaayikam types (done 
with the body), three Vaachikam ( performed with mind) categories 
and Five Maanasam (accomplished with the mind) varieties.  The 
Kaayikam types are: (1) Poojanam ( bodily worship such as 
prostration), (2) Soucham (bodily cleanliness) , (3) Aarjavam ( 
uprightness) , (4) Ahimsaa (noviolence) and (5) Brahmacharyam ( 
Celibacy). The three belonging to Vaachikam are: (1) words uttered 
for other's well being, (2) saying truthful things and (3) 
recitation of the VedAs. The five belonging to the categories of
Maanansam are: (1) satisfaction with whatever Lord ordains (2) 
humility, (3) Forbearance , (4) God Consciousness and (5) Purity of 
Mind .  
 
 
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam : The inner meaning is that those who 
believe their SadAchAryan as the sole means and seek no other phalan
attain satthva suddhi ( purity of mind and the perfection of aathma 
guNams) and become free from blemishes. They perform AchArya 
Kaimkaryams and gain Saathvika Tapas. The close links of their 
AchAryAs generate unique love for the Lord dear to their AchAryAs 
and the flow of that Bhakthi leads to additional Bhagavath-AchArya 
kaimakrya Sri that results in the bliss of Moksha Sukham .  
 
3) Oh PadhAvani ! Those who have no phalans other than you 
are dependent on You as their sole UpAyam ( Oh PaadhAvani ! 
Thvadanya kaamA: yEkanthina : ). They perform special aarAdhanam 
for Your Lord (MurAri) as a direct result of their association
With You (  yEkAnthina: Thvath anushanga visEsha dhrusyam  
MurArE: padham paricharanthi).Their aarAdanam is blemishless
(KaamAdhi dhOsha rahitham ) , since it  follows the thirteen modes 
recommended by PaancharAthra aagamam . These nithya , naimitthika 
kaamya sadhkAryams do not expect any phalans (  phalApEkshaa 
rahitham ).
