Oh Paaduka! Please drive out my sin to a long distance away. Please

bring me to the one great Lord, who achieves the quelling of asuras

as mere sport. I am Destitute No.1. All my senses are non-obedient to

me, I have no control over them. Before such a pathetic, suffering

creature that I am, please show the Lord's vision!

 

Namo Narayana,

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

 

SlOkam 992

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! You are going to banish

my sins by Your presence at the time of my death and bring Your Lord

from a great distance to me and help me, who is standing in the front

row of helpless and with no control over my faculty of senses . Your

Lord said that He will think of His devotees and come to their rescue

at the time of their departure from this world. You are going to

bring Him to me during my last moments on this earth even if adiyEn

is not highly qualified to recieve His blessings.

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that for those

who rely totally on their SadAchAryAs, all enemies for Bhakthi

anubhavam will be chased away through the mere glances of their

SadaachAryAs until their last moments on earth; further , the

visualization of Bhagavan (Bhagavath SaakshAthkAram) will also

result during their last moments here . These are some of the

UpakArams of the SadAchAryAs.

 

3) Oh PaadhukE ! For adiyEn, You serve as the enemy of all obstacles

that stand in the way of practising Bhakthi yOgam and Bhakthi

anubhavam in this earth. (PaadhukE ! Thvam dhuritham dhooratha:

apanayanthee). Oh PaadhukE ! May Thou be present before me (

SannidhEyA: ) with Your Lord , who sports in destroying Bhagavath

anubhava virOdhis during my last moments ( asya jantho:

agratha:, dhanuja maTana leelA DevathAm aanayanthee sannidhEyA:).

adiyEn is in the front end of all who have no recourse except You and

I have no success in controlling my Indhriyams ( anithasaraNAnAm

agrimasya , avasa karaNa-vrutthE; asya JanthO: purasthAth DEvathAm

aanayanthee sannidhEyA: )...(V.S).
