Oh Mother Paaduka! At the moment of one's death, the senses become

ineffective, one's

discernment of the right totally fails, at that very instant may You

help me-so that I

would not have to suffer a rebirth-by bringing the Lord before me to

make me see Him-the

Lord with lotus eyes, the Lord who is the remover of grief! You should

see to this.

 

Namo Narayana,

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

 

(1) Abinava Desika UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Mother PaadukE !

When my time to leave this world nears ,

my senses and body will not be in my control. I would not be

able to reflect on You due to my rapidly diminishing capacities.

At that time , Please bring Your lotus-eyed Lord before me and

save me from reentering the wombs of women in this world.

If You bring Your Lord before me during my last moments ,

It would be equal to You looking at me with Your compassionate eyes.

Please help me !

 

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! During my last moments

, You should bring PerumAl before me . With Your (Achaaryan's ) and

PerumAL's presence, adiyEn will be freed from rebirth .

 

(3) Oh Mother PaadhukE ! During my last moments on this earth , my

indhriyams and vivEkam (discriminatory skills)would have abandoned me

.. It is at this time , You should give me Your darsana soubhAgyam with

Your Lord to chase away the fears of experiencing the cycles of

repeated birth and death (punarapi jananam , punarapi maraNam ,

punarapi jananI jaDirE sayanam ).... V. S
