Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

751. sruShtAm BhUmAvananthEna nithyam shEShasamADhinA
aham samBhAvayAmi thvAmAthmAnamiva pAdhukE!

Oh Paaduka! I regard You as a Jivatma 'created' in this world as an 
example of servile a soul ought to be, with respect to the Lord; this 
creation may be said to be by Adisesha himself, (who is the finest 
example of Seshatva) or by the Lord Himself. 

Ananta=Adisesha, as well as the Lord.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

SrI:

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):

This Paddhathi has ten slOkams . After description of the gems
of PaadhukAs and its golden form in the previous Paddhathi,
Swamy Desikan turns his attention to the indwelling power of
the Padhukais. In this section, known as Sesha Paddhathi,
Swamy states that the empowering force of PaadhukAs is none
other than AdhisEshA . He points out that AdhisEshA ,
who serves as the bed of the Lord in the milky ocean
has become the PadhukAs to serve his Lord on His earth
BhUlOka Vaikuntam).

Many bhakthAs seeking progeny are told that they have
Sarpa DhOsham and are asked by the astrologers to have
prathishtai of Naaga statue or go to KaaLahasthi
to perform a homam . adiyEn thinks that SrI VaishNavAs
can do instead any one of the following things to be blessed
with SanthAna PrApthi at the right stage in their lives:
(1) Go to one's AchAryan and pray to Him for Phala ManthrAkshathai
for SanthAna PrApthi after performing Sethu SnAnam
(2) Go to SrI RanganAthA's Sannidhi or Swamy Desikan's Sannidhi
adjacent ot SrI RanganAyaki's sannidhi at SrIrangam and recite
the 10 slOkams of Sesha Paddhathi for a MaNDalam and recieve
Periya perumAL's and ThAyAr's SaThAri, Theertham every day
with one's wife.

A similar PaarAyaNam can also be done before Lord DevanAthan
at the dhivya desam of ThiruvahIndhrapuram or before Swamy Desikan's
sannidhi there . Lord DevanAthan chose the name of ThiruvahIndhrapuram
(AdhisEshapuram ) for His dhivya desam in recognition of
the great Kaimkaryam done by AdhisEshan here for Him .

Similarly for Navagraha dhOsham , there is
no need for SrI VaishNavALs to do Navagraha Saanthi Homams .
Recitation of the 749th SlOkam of SrI RanganAtha PaadhukA
Sahasram daily would ward off the Nava graha DhOsham :

NaaL yenna seyyum kOL yenna seyyum
Yennappan ThALL paRRinARkku

(meaning): What troubles can the nakashathrams , Thithis and
Grahams cause for one, who attaches Himself firmly & solely
to the Feet of the Lord and the SaThAri there ?

SlOkam 751

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PadhukE! AdhisEshA thought that
he should protect the Lord 's feet on earth and incarnated
as Your indweller. I celebrate You , who remind me of the concept
of SeshA and Seshin to depict the relationship between Self (Jeevan)
and the Lord (Iswaran). ( Lord creates Jeevans and wants them
as His Seshans and for that purpose removes their PuNyams and Paapams.
He is the Sarva Seshin for all sentient and insentient beings
created by Him).

2)SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Here , Swamy Desikan describes
that PaadhukA is AadhisEsha avathAram. AdhisEshan is present
in the PaadhukA Roopam.

3)Oh PaadhukE! You are created in Bhoo lOkam as PaadhukA by
AdhisEshan ( AnanthEna nithyam sEsha-samAdhinaa BhUmou srushtAm).
