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

rangAdh Bhujangashayanam maNipAdharakshE!

Oh Manipaaduka! In my last moment, when I would suffer, You please

bring the Lord on Adisesha, without delay near me so that the dust

would serve, like Karpoora-powder to relieve me completely of the

suffering.

Special Notes from V.SatakOpan(V.S) : SlOkam 369

*************************************************

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam:

Oh PaadhukE! at the time of my last moments on

this earth , You should help me with Your power to lead

RanganAthA quickly from His Ranga VimAnam (Sanctum-

Sanctorium) and bring Him to my bedside. Through this act ,

You will be removing my sufferings like placing green

camphor under my tongue. (Green camphor powder and

Sugar are placed under a dying persons' tongue moments

before their death to arrest adverse flow of fluids

that produce bitter taste in their mouth).

 

(2)Srimath Andavan's anubhavam:Swamy Desikan prays

here for the removal of all his dhOshams at the end

of his earthly life by the contact with the green

camphor like dust particles from the Paadhukais.

 

(3)Swamy says that the contact with the assembly of dust

generated by the Paadhukais as they rush to bring Lord

RanganAthA from His aasthaanam to his bed side at

the last moments of his life are like the karpUra Choornam ,

which remove his sorrows( thE dhULibhi: samjvaram

kaamam nivarthaiuthum arhasi)..(V.S).
