Oh Paaduka! When my sense-organs become divested of their faculties,

my limbs become worn out, my thinking becomes deranged, not knowing

what to say, to whom, and when I tend to weep, may You please agree

to come to me, with the Lord on You, with Your sweet Nada scaring

away all the forces that threaten me.

 

Namo Narayana,

 

SriMuralidhara Dasan

 

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

 

SlOkam 466:

 

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! During my last

moments of life , my limbs will be out of control and I will be

crying out of delusion. I will be totally incoherent with terror at

the thought of the servants of Yamaa taking me to hell for the

punishment of my sins. Please drive away the servants of Yamaa and

all my other fears through Your sacred naadham and bring me close to

Your Lord's lotus feet! I need Your naadham during my last moments of

life to drive away those causes of fear .

 

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PadhukE! Please come to my side

during my last moments with Your Lord on Your back and chase away

the threatening forces with Your sweet naadham .

 

(3) During my last moments , my limbs will be helpless and would not

be functioning efficently ( Vikala karaNa vrutthou vihvala angE mayI).

I will be mumbling away incoherently at that time( mOhAth vilaksham

vilapathi sathi). At that time , You should arrive at my side

carrying the Lord on Your back and look at me ( Souri Paadham

bhibrathi –parisaram pasya). Swamy Desikan requests the Paadhukais to

quell the sources that threaten him with their naadham ( ninAdhai:

akhilam mE prathibhayam bharthsayanthi parisaram adhiganthum pasya)..
