SrImathE Gopaladesikamahadesikaya namah:

Dearest Srivaishnavas, 

Let us continue to enjoy the BhoothatthAzhwAr?s-
wonderful anubhavams on ThiruvEnkatam. Next and
today?s verse on ThiruvEnkatam is 33rd verse. 

uLathenRu iRumaavaar uNdillai yenRu,
thaLar_thal athanarukum saaraar, - aLavariya
vEthatthaan vEngadatthaan viNNOr mudithOyum,
paathatthaan paatham payinRu.                         
 45

Those who have surrendered to the Lord would not be
affected by other desires or failures;- says AzhwAr
here; Swamy desikan takes this verse for reference and
explanation / reinforcements in his magnum opus Srimad
Rahasyathrayasaram. 

Those devotees who have surrendered to and are used to
contemplate only on the Lotus Feet of the Lord; who
stands at ThiruvEnkatam where the Nithyasuirs place
their heads at His Lotus feet; who is praised by the
unbounded Vedas themselves;[but not able to fully due
to His unbounded and limitless glories]; - they
[devotees or Saranagathars or Prapannans] do not get
affected if they do not have something; nor do they
jump with joy and brim with pride if they have
something (materialistic or worldly). They are firm at
His Lotus Feet and are detached like the water on the
lotus leaf, though they live in this material world. 

There will be nothing to fear other than offence
towards BhAgawathas and he will not entertain desire
for anything other than Swaroopa praaptha kaimkarya or
service to the Lord only; which will be according to
his true nature as jeevathman- being His eternal sesha
bhoothan (servant) . he will be blessed with such a
kind of noble attitude by the Lord Himself. He will
neither rejoice in things that woirldly people like or
take delight; nor does he become afraid of this that
cause fear to the worldly people.

A Prapanna (one who has surrendered to the Lord Sriman
Narayanan) who is steadfast in his essential nature is
neither disturbed on account of causes of fear nor
pleased with causes of joy other than loving service
at the feet of the Lord. This is similar to the state
of a sthitha pragna. 
Desika mentions in Achutha sathakam: verse 47-

Oh Lord, your devotees who are without any desire for
the enjoyment of the objects of the senses, who never
get detracted even by things that detract one are like
jeevan mukthas, and they are holy and purifying
others. [extract From "essence of Srimad
Rayashyathraya saram"- by Dr NS Anantharangachar
Swami, Bangalore]
