Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 963. kim vA BhaviShyathi param kaluShaIkavrutthE rEthAvathApyanupajAthamanEhasA mE Ekam thadhasthi yadhi pashyasi pAdhukE! thE PadhmAsahAyapadhapankajaBhOgasAmyam Oh Paaduka! If You throw Your glance one me, I will be granted an equality with You in the enjoyment of the bliss of the Lord's Lotus Feet. Only that remains yet for me to experience. Because I have reaped all others by my continuous engagement with sins (Any good deed now and then has given me chances of small rewards too). Only this remains: the bliss of communion with the Lord's Feet on par with You! Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! What else is going to happen anymore to me , who commits sins almost as an occupation ? There is only one thing that can happen to me through Your blessings . That is to become equal to You in enjoying the experience of serving Your Lord's feet . May thou bless me to reach a status similar to Yours ! I have enjoyed every thing else and found them useless. 2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam : Oh PaadhukE ! Committing sins is my profession ( Thozhil/Vrutthi) . There is not a paapam that I have not acquired . There is no end to the narakams that I am destined to experience . How can I then dream of being blessed with Bhagavath anubhavam under these adverse circumstances ? Oh PadhukE ! If You decide that I will correct myself over time and come out of my miseries , I will continue to rot in SamsAram. I will never ever seek or attain MOksha Sukham . If You decide however to take pity on me and come to my rescue , then the divine glances of the Lord and His PirAtti will fall one me and I will be saved from the debilitating samsAra ruchi . I will gain ParipoorNAnubhavam of Your Lord. The fact that You do not pay attention to my sufferings is solely due to my accumulated sins . Swamy Desikan expresses his nirvEdham this way . 3) Oh PaadhukE ! I have the occupation of commiting sins perpetually ( kalushaika vrutthE: mE ). Until all these days ( yEthAvathA anEhasApi ) , I have not been the recipient of Your mercy and the consequent boons ( anupajAtham param kim vaa? ) . If Your merciful glances fall on me ( Yadhi pasyasi) , I will gain a blessed status equal to You in enjoying the glories of Your Lord's Thiruvadi ( yadhi pasyasi tE PadhmA SahAya Padha pankaja bhOga saamyam tath yEkam asthi)...(V.S). ------------------------ Yahoo!
