Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 990. yEna sThithA shirasi mE viDhinADhunA thvam thEnaIva dhEvi! niyatham mama sAmparAyE lakshIkariShyasi padhAvani! ranganATham lakshmIpadhAmburuhayAvakapankalakshyam Oh Paaduka Devi! Since I now had the privilege of having You on my head by some great Punya, I am sure that Punya will definitely enable me to see, by Your help, the Lord Ranganatha, identifiable by the marks of red dye found on His chest from the Feet of Mahalakshmi. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(V.S): SlOkma 990 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Swamy Desikan expresses his gratitude to the Paadhukais for their blessings on this earth and thereafter. He says: " Oh Queen ! Oh Lord's PaadhukE! Due to my good fortune accumulated through Your blessings , You sit now on my head ; the same good fortune is going to cause the resting of RanganAthA's feet adorned with the red dye belonging to MahA Lakshmi on my head and mark me out as a dear one to Him during my last moments on this earth. That good fortune will lead me to Moksham after this life on earth". 2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam : Now Paadhukais ask Swamy Desikan a question : " In the previous slOkam , You said that it si enough to stay in this blissful state of offering kaimakryams to me at Srirangam. How long can you stay in that state with your perishable body? Therefore, should You not be thinking about the Lord at His Superior place of Parama Padham? ". Swamy answers this way : Oh PaadhukE ! why should I worry about that when You are permanently dwelling on my head out of Your vaathsalyam. When the time comes for me to cast my earthly body, wont You be bringing Your Lord on Your back before me? The second after that anthima saakshAthkAram, adiyEn's Parama Padha siddhi ( attainment of Vaikunta Vaasam ) is certain. That is Svatha-prAptham ( it will hapen on its own). Therefore, there is no need for me to think seperately about that instead of enjoying You here in the company of Your Lord, SrI RanganAthan. The previous sOkam was about the PaadhukA's protection in this earth (LeelA VibhUthi); the next slOkam is about the Paadhukais assisting the Saadhu Janams to gain residence in Parama Padham. 3) hE Devi PadhAvani ! The very same good fortune that enables me to have Your presence on my head ( Thvam adhunA yEna vidhinA mE sirasi niyatham sTithA) empowers me to have the anthima saakshAthkAram of Lord RanganAthan with the unmistakable mark /lakshaNam of the SarvEswaran, viz., the symbol of red dye from MahA Lakshmi's sacred feet on His chest (tEnaiva bhAgyEna LakshmI padhAmbhuruha yaavaka- panka lakshyam , RanganATam , mama saamparAyE laksheekarishyasi)...
