Oh Lord's Paaduka! Having surrendered myself to You and having
utilized this hand of mine, may be once, at least, in the service of
Yourself, how would I agree to extend the same hand before a person
who revels in the fatness of his wealth? I wouldn't.
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
SlOkam 965
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Oh Paadhukais of the Lord
wielding the bow named Saarngam ! How can I , who has taken
refuge in You and worship You use this hand of mine to ask for
money for my jeevanam from egotistic men ? (Swamy Desikan states
that he will not extend his hand used for wordhipping the PaadhukAs
to beg for money from arrogant , wealthy men. He says that it is
absurd to seek the support of mere men , when the most glorious and
powerful Lord with all the wealth is there to grant all the desired
boons ).
2) This is a continuation of the reminder about AnanyArha sEsha
Vrutthi ( Occupation of not asking anyone excpt the Lord for whatever
that is needed for His aarAdhanam ). Swamy says : Oh PaadhukE !
Have not I performed SaraNaagathy already to You for saving me from
alpa prayOjanams and for the conferral of Jn~Anam and Bhakthi alone
to Your Lord ? Do n' t You and Your Lord have the power to confer
ananyArha Sesha vruthti for me and remove all obstacles standing
in the way ( Phala pratibhandhakams) ? How can I seek egotistic
wealthy for my jeevanam and humiliate myself by working for them and
lose my savroopam as the anayArha Seshan of Your Lord ? I can not
engage in such a despicable acts either because of my poverty or
temptations for acquiring wealth . Such activities are not a
celebration of my savroopam and are harmful for Your vaibhavam as
SaraNAgatha rakshakan as well . This thought makes me with alpa
buddhi shudder . I can imagine what a shock that would be for You
both as the most generous Ones and Prabhus in your roles as Parama
Seshis . You must pay attention to my sorrowful state resulting from
my accumulated sins. This is indeed a sad situation causing my
nirvEdham ! Please help.
3) SaarngiNa: PaadharakshE ! I have surrendered unto You
( Aham ThvAm SaraNam adhigatha: ) and have placed MahA
VisvAsam in You to protect me . How can My hands engaged in
performing AarAdhanam for You can be lifted even once to do
some thing against my savroopam as Prapannan ( Sakrudhapi
Thvath SaparyA adhikArE viniyukthan yEnam hastham kaTam
utthAnEyam ) ? That Svaroopa haani will most defenitely arise
from the lifting of my hands before the assembly of haughty rich
men (yEnam hastham punarapi mudhithAnAm mAnavAnAm samaajE
kaTam utthAnEyam ) ...(V.S).
