SwAmi DeSikan has explained that one should adopt the attitude of selflessness while doing any act laid down in Saastras, more particularly, when one performs prapatti. This is also emphasized by SrI ParAsara BhaTTar, in his work “SrI LakshmI KalyANamâ€, through a quotation which he says is of SrI NammAzhvAr:- “svayam vastU kurvan janamimamakasmAt sarasija-prakArau padmAyAstava ca caraNau nah SaraNayan†Meaning:- [O Lord!}You grace me, who am a non-entity into a being and grant the lotus-like feet of Yours and that of Your Consort as a refuge to me!
