SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

Dearest Srivaishnavas, 

AzhwAr says: The greatest Sages praised You quoting
Four Vedas, while this lowliest unqualified one
(adiyEn) too praised You- Please forgive
me?

thooyanaayu manRiyumsu
  rumpulaavu thaNduzhaay,
maaya!ninnai naayinEnva
  Nankivaazhththu meethelaam,
neeyun^in_ku RippiniRpo
  Ruththun^alku vElain^eerp,
paayalOdu paththarsiththam
  mEyavElai vaNNanE!      (110)

Oh Most wonderful Lord! The One who wears bee humming
most fragrant cool thuLasi garland! Oh Reclining Lord!
The One who reclines on the dark blue ocean as the
bed! One who is in the minds of devotees! About
You- The One who is praised and worshipped by even
NityaSUris and greatest sages- this lowliest self
(naayinEn)- sometimes in good mind and sometimes not
(in pure mind)- has sung these verses, realizing the
eternal servitude of this self on You, in praise of
You, bowing down to You. Please consider them in Your
mind and accept them and do not discard them as
faltering in kaimkaryam. Please bless these verses
(and me).

In order to be in the heart of devotees, You start
from Paramapadham and stop over at Milky ocean and
then reside in the heart of devotees, Oh blue hued
ocean coloured Lord! Seeing Your sowlabhyam and
sowseelyam (easy accessibility and simply stooping
down so low to mix with us), and enjoying Your most
fragrant bee humming ThuLasi garland on Your divine
Chest (thereby declaring the Parathvam and Parama
bhOgayathvam), I have lost my intellect to
discriminate which is right and which is wrong, and if
it is appropriate for me to venture into this, simply
flabbergasted by Your Beauty, kalyANa guNas and
sowlabhyam, adiyEn has started praising You
immediately.

Sometimes, my body and mind could have been pure
(sattva guNam); and sometimes not so; [The most
important purificatory rite: Saathvika thyAgam- that I
do not do this; For His pleasure, He Himself is
getting it done through me as an instrument] Thus,
sometime, this vaachika kaimkaryam [singing in praise
of You] could have been upachAram; sometimes apachAram
[offences]. Thus there could be faltering in adiyEn's
kaimkaryam. Please forgive me for the mistakes,
falters and accept the same as upachAram also.

upachArApadEshEna kritAn aharahar mayA|
apachArAnimAn sarvAn kShamasva purushOttama||
[jitanthE sthOthra]

Under the intention of doing the various upachAras
(worship procedures) during Your worship everyday, I
have committed numerous apachAras (offences and faults
of omissions and commissions) to You. Oh 
Purushottama! please tolerate all of these and bear
with me and cinsider as upAchArams [kaimkaryam in the
form of worshipping and and in the spirit of service]
[translation extracted from the post of Dr MN Ramanuja
few years ago] [Srivaishnavas recite this sloka at the
end of ThiruvArAdhanam everyday in order to seek
Lord's foegiveness during the apacharam committed
while performing ArAdhanam].
