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

 

311. sA mE BhUyAth sapadhi BhavathI pAdhukE! thApashAnthyaI

Oh Paaduka! You are like the sky. On You is placed the Lord, as

Krishna, as the rain-pouring dark cloud. He will shower Karuna-rain.

He is accompanied by Mahalakshmi, like a lightning. The cloud that He

is, is served by the devas, including Marut, that is wind. Thus, He is

the cause of the river Kaver's torrents. Thus, You let the Lord work

His grace. Pray see that I get this rain that would remove all misery.

 

Namo Narayana,

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

 

(1) Abhinava Desikan UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Swami Desikan prays

to the Paadhukais once again and asks them to help him in his last

moments on this earth. Swami says: " Oh PaadhukE ! KrishNA , who is

like a bluish-black cloud of rainy season mounts Your vast

surface comparable to the expansive sky. He is followed by

the devAs , who propel Him as winds move the rainy cloud.

Your Lord with His consort MahA Lakshmi , moves around

and produces copious showers that increase the water flow

of Cauveri in a timely manner. May that compassionate

RanganAthan , who makes Cauveri happy through His blessings , and You

, who carry Him on Your back appear before me during the last moments

of life and remove all my anxieties! May both of You shower me with

the rain of mercy !

 

(2)Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that

PerumAL saves the chEthanams through His AchAryAs. May You , PaadhukA

, as my AchAryan cast Your benovolent glances on me and save me from

the ills of SamsAram!

 

(3)Swamy appeals here to the sacred Paadhukais (Swamy NammAzhwAr) this

way : " Oh PaadhukE ! " Saa Bhavathi mE taapa saanthyai sapadhi

bhUyAth " ( May You of such glory remove my samsAric afflictions

immediately ). May the Lord mounted on You (tava aarUDa: ), who is a

KaruNA-varshaka KrishNa mEgam ( One who sends down copious rains

of DayA as the rain-laden cloud known as KrishNA ) with His

appear before me due to Your involvement ! ….V.S
