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

Oh Lord's Paaduka! Your Nada sounds, words like 'Enough enough', with

a kindly favourable spirit to one, who has surrendered unto You but

who in ignorance of the Sastraic prohibition of repetition, thinks of

re-doing the surrender!

 

Namo Narayana,

Special Notes by V.SatakOpan (V.S):

 

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukAs of SaarangapANi !

When those who took refuge in Your Lord's feet as PrapannAs attempt

to repeat their SaraNAgathi , they go against the injunctions of the

SaasthrAs, which declare that SaraNAgahti has to be done only once.

The PrapannAs out of delusion and lack of faith attempt to repeat the

act of SaraNAgathi and run the risk of provoking the ire of Your

Lord. At those delicate and difficult moments , Oh PaadhukE , You

come to the rescue of the PrapannAs through Your naadham and remind

them they should not offer their SaraNAgathi more than once and save

them from Lord's anger out of Your compassion for them.

 

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Your naadham makes me think that

You are halting the confused and anxious ones not to repeat their

SaraNAgathi to the Lord since it is not permitted by the SaashtrAs .

 

(3) The PaadhukAs seem to tell through its sweet naadham that we

should not perform SaraNAgathi more than once since it is prohibited

by SaasthrAs. They are confused about this injunction ( Vidhi siddham

sakrudhithi vimOhAth) and You through the naadham of the gems inside

Your toeholds seem to say with concern: Performance of SaraNAgathi

once is enough ( Thvam prachalitha MaNi jAlai: Vyanjithai: svai:

sinjithai: alam alam ithi aadharENa vaarayasi)..(V.S)
