SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

 

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

 

469. prashamayathu Bhayam na: paschimashvAsakAlE

rahasi viharaNam thE ranganAThEna sArDham

niyathamanuviDhatthE pAdhukE! yanninAdhO

niKhilaBhuvanarakshAGhOShaNAGhoShalIlam

 

Oh Paaduka! The walk that Sri Ranganatha enjoys in seclusion with You

on, will produce a Nada, I am sure, which will be to the effect of

proclaiming, to all the worlds, that all worlds stand protected by

Him. May that same Nada be audible to us at the last moment so as to

remove our fears!

 

Namo Narayana,

 

SriMuralidhara Dasan

 

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

 

SlOkam 469:

 

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! Your naadham is

majestic and is known around the world for the assurance it provides

to protect one and all. Your travels help to maintain the continuity

of Your message. There is no secret about the message that Your

naadham brings. I have however a personal request. Please bring

RanganAthA with You quietly to my bed side during the last moments of

my life on this earth and chase away all my fears !

 

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! When I hear your

auspicious sound , It appears as though You are saying that You will

protect the people of the world and telling them not to fear. With

that SunAdham , please arrive at my side and remove my fears to be

experienced during my last moments on this earth.

 

(3) The last moments are described here as " pascchima svAsa kAlam ".

Swamy Desikan prays for removal of fear experienced during those

times ( Pascchima svAsa kaalE bhayam prasamatyathu). Please arrive

with Your RanganAthan in ekAntham ( tE RanganAthEna saarddham rahasi

viharaNam kuru)....(V.S).
