May I ever live-may be hundreds of years-in this Srirangam, singing
Your praise, ever meditating on You without any other thought,
realizing that this cult of Bharata is most potent, this worship
being regarded as the ultimate in the human goals. Your continuous
contact with the Lord's Feet being the cause of such elevated status.

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(V.S):
SlOkam 995
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukA DEvi! There is nothing
more to obtain besides You .Even then , from the example set by
Bharatha, I realize that you can not be seperated form the Lord's
feet. Therefore, I want to sing about Your glories throughout
the earth during my alloted life span of one hundred years. I will
spread the story of your glory among the people of Srirangam among
the villages and cities around and among the rest of the earth
through the verses of SrI RanganAtha PadhukA Sahasram.
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The descriptions/salutations of the
PaadhukAs in this slOkam can be intrepreted either with focus on the
BhUmi or the SadAchAryAs. The commonality is that the samrutthi (
Iswaryam/Prosperity ) of a floursihing nation and the vaibhavam of
the auspicious PaadhukAs. Swamy Desikan prays here to the
Paadhukais to be blessed with long and happy life as a PaadhukA
sEvakan at Srirangam worshipping the Paadhukais and singing about
the glories of the Paadhukais. Swamy Desikan wants all the others
to have the same aanandha anubhavam that he has in enjoying the
Paadhukais and for that purpose, he wants to stay at Srirangam for a
long time and sing about the unique glories of the Paadhukais.
3) Oh PaadhukE ! May I be fortunate to live at Srirangam for many
years meditating on You and propagating Your limitless glories
revealed in Bharatha SiddhAntham (Bharatha samaya siddhAm ThvAm
ananya: iha tE samruddhi, satham saradha: srAvayEyam )! What are
three of these Samruddhis or auspicious features ? They are: (a) The
Paadhukais are the limits of the four kinds of PurushArTams (
Dharma, arTa, Kaamam and Moksham) and their subdivisions (Bahuvidha
PurushArTa grAma seema antharEkhAm), (b) Blessings to have the
association with the lotus feet of the Lord (Hari CharaNa sarOja
nyAsa dhanyAm), (c) establishment by Bharathan that the AarAdhanam
of the Lord's Paadhukais are as sacred as that performed for the
Lord Himself ( Bharatha samaya siddhAm ThvAm bhAvayan tE samruddhim
srAvayEyam) ....(V.S).
