SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama: Dearest all, Praising Him thus once - AzhwAr feels good and expresses his mahAviswAsam herein. Aviyai yarangka mAlai azhukkuram pessil vAyAl, thUymaiyil thoNta NnEnn^An sollinEn thollai nAmam, pAviyEn pizhaththa vARen RancinER kanca lenRu kAvipOl vaNNar van^then kaNNuLE thOnRinArE 12 aaviyai- The in-dweller and life of everything and everyone; arangam maalai ? On the Lord who is showing Himself so gracefully for blessing the greatest Bhagawathas only; thooymaiyil ? with not an iota of purety thoNdanEn naan- I, this haughty proud egotist(ahankaari) attempt to serve You azhukku udambu ? with this filthy dirty body yecchil vaayaal- with the unclean mouth, in spite of rinsing, thollai naamam sollinEn- the most divine and beautiful divine name of NARAYANA naamam was uttered; paaviyEn- This lowliest sinner pizhaittha aaRu- can one even commit such apacharams like this? enRu anjiERku- thus ? I had feared and apprehended kaavipoal- like the cool charming fragrant flower, vaNNar- colourd and natured Lord vandhu ? came close to me; anjal enRu- don?t fear or worry- showed His abhaya hastham en kaNNuLE thOnRinaar- He appeared in that abhaya hastha mudrA ? and entered into my eyes; With this filthy body, foul smelling mouth, if I utter His name, praise Him and spoil His greatness, He, who is the life and soul of the whole Universe would thereby be affected and the whole universe also may get spoiled. He came into this most beautiful Divya Desam Srirangam in order to bless these greatest bhAgawathas and even that may get affected hence. Without even thinking of all these dire consequences, I uttered His divine name with all such impurities in me and with least qualifications. This is on top of all those paapams that I had committed earlier. This is the highest of pappams. I was so scared and had such a great fear and apprehension as to how one can commit such intolerable apacharams. In spite of all these, my most beautiful and divine Lord who is like dark blue coloured kuvaLai flower, appeared in front of me, came close to me, and entered into my eyes, showing His abhaya mudrA, ?do not fear?. Then only I was relieved that what I did was not an offence and even if it is, He has forgiven; I am saved. [Sri Satakopan Swami adds: This is a grand verse or a verse with ennobling thoughts. His humility / Helplessness (Kaarpanyam ) blossoms into the next stage of Saranagathi, Viz., Mahaviswaasam . He says: Me, the Egotist, who is not pure of thought with my unclean body and mouth recited HIS ancient and Sacred Mahamantram. I was afraid of having engaged in reciting His Mantram in my unclean, unfit state. To my utter surprise, the most merciful Lord appeared before me and told me not to be afraid. I was overcome by this experience and closed my eyes out of fear. Lo and Behold! He entered into my closed eyelids and appeared before my eyes there. Here, he points out that the Lord is resident at Srirangam to give hope to people that they do not need to worry about their state of perfection and that he will bless them and come to their side, when they make even a meager effort.
