Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

965. sharaNamaDhigathasthvAm shArngiNa: pAdharakshE!
        Sakrudhapi viniyuktham thavthsaparyADhikArE
        Punarapi kaThamEnam hasthamutthAnayEyam
        DhanamadhamudhithAnAm mAnavAnAm samAjE

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).
