Oh Ranganatha Paaduka! I have thought of You a thousand times** in
the pretext oc composing this work. Even that makes my life fully
lived and fully rewarded. Then what is there for me to seek to secure
in this world?
**Sahasra means the number 1000 or a very large number (many
thousands).

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
SlOkam 1001
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: This is the first of the eight
slOkams dealing with the completed thousand slOkams ( kruthamAna
Sahasram). The first slOkam recognizes the BhAgyam accrued to the
poet, who expresses his gratitude for completion of the 1000 slOkams
without vignams. Swamy Desikan says in this context : " Oh PaadhukE !
Through the excuse of composing a eulogy to You, You have been
analyzed by me in thousand ways. My life has become more fruitful
through that effort. After this blessing, there is nothing that I
need or want.
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! Through Your anugraham,
I have now completed the Sahasram about You that You commanded me
to create. During the course of this effort, I enjoyed addressing You
as "PaadhukE, PaadhAvani, PadhAvani, PadhathrANE, PadharakshE,
PaadharakshE , CharaNa ThrAyiNee, Hari PaadhukE, Souri PaadhukE!
Raaghava PaadhukE , Rangapathy PaadhukE, MaNi PaadhukE, Kaanchana
PaadhukE, Rathna PaadhukE " and with other endearing names. I
uttered them singly and with Your Lord's names one thousand times. In
addiiton to that, I analyzed Your Svaroopa, Roopa, guNa vibhUthis and
praised You to my heart's content. After recieving that
ParamAnugraham, my janmA , which was fruitless (nishphalam) until
then transformed itself to one full of fruits (Saphalam). It ended up
with myself being freed from future births and deaths. There are no
pradhAna PurushArTam beyond that.
3) Oh Paadhukai of the Lord who rules Srirangam as His Nruttha
rangam !(hE RangadhureeNa PaadhukE!) You have been now praised
thousand times using the ruse of attempting Your Sthuthi ( Thvam
sthuthi lakshyENa Sahasrasa: vimrushtA ).Therefore , I consider that
this janmam of mine has attained its total fulfilment (atha: mama
yEthath janma: saphalam thAvath ithi manyE ). There is nothing in
this janmaa that I need to pray for as a desired boon since I have
alrady been blessed with the BhAgyam of creating this sthuthi about
You (Yath yEthath iha aasaasyam atha: param kim asthi ? )....(V.S)
