Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

759. ahInAthmA rangakshithiramaNapAdhavani! sadhA
sathAmitTham thrANAth praThithanijasathrathvaviBhavA
avidhyAyAminyA: sprushasi punarEkAhapadhavIm
krathUnAmArADhyA krathurapi cha sarvasthvamasi na:

Oh Ranganatha Paaduka! You are in the form of Adisesha (also of 
Aheena yaga); You protect the Sadhus (You are also Sattra yaga); You 
are also the day that has dawned for the night of nescience, a day 
never to end. (You are the Ekaha yaga too). Thus You are the yagas 
and their goal as well.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 759

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh RanganAtha PaadhukE!
As the king of serpents(Aheendran ) You become the Soma Yaagam
recognized as Aheenam and protect the righteous. You also
become another Soma Yaagam known as Sattaram and help to
cross the dark night of nescience through the path of
another Soma Yaagam described as EkAham. You are worshipped
not only as the various YaagAs , but You transform Yourself
in to those YaagAs.; further , You also become the fruit of
those YaagAs. It is amazing how You perform so many diverse
roles.

The word aheenA has three meanings:(1) The King of serpents
(Aheendran) , (2) it is the name of a Soma Yaagam (3) it means
also blemishless. Swamy Desikan cleverly weaves the multiple
meanings of the word Aheena in this slOkam to relate AdhisEsha/
PaadhukA to the Soma YaagAs like EkAham ( JyOthishtOmam) , Aheenam
and Sattaram. Swamy states that the Paadhukais signify
the essence of the above three Soma YaagAs , which use the juice of
Soma creeper as Havis. A Soma Yaagam done for a day is known as
EkAham. When the Yaaga is extended from two to twelve days,
that Yaagam becomes Aheenam. When it goes beyond 12 days,
the same Soma Yaagam acquires the name of Sattaram. Swamy Desikan
states that the purpose of doing all these YaagAs is to obtain
the Lord's PaadhukAs for our worship to enable us toattain
Moksham ultimately.

2)SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! You are the incarnation
of AdhisEshA. You have the reputation of protecting all Saadhus.
You are the day for the night of the world , which is impervious
to auspicious matters. You remind them of these auspicious
matters .All the YaagAs are performed by people for pleasing
You.You are in the form of all Yag~nams .

3)Oh Lord RanganAthA's PaadhukE(RangakshithiramaNa PaadhAvani)!
You are of the form of AdhisEsha and form of Yaj~nam
known as Aheenam (aheenAthmA).You protect the learned ones
always and have the reputation of being of the form of
Sathra Yaagam ( SadhA sathAm ittham thrANAth praTitha
nija satthrathva vibhavA). For our dark KaaLa Raathri of
ajn~Anam , You are like the bright day ( na: avidhyA yAminyA:
yEkAha padhaveem sprusasi). You are celeebrated by all
yaagams( Thvam krathUnAm aarAdhyA). You take on the form
of all Yaagams ( Sarvakrathurapi cha asi)..(V.S).
