SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

 

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

 

970. pAShANakalpamanthE parichithagoUthamaparigrahanyAyAth

pathipadhaparicharaNArham pariNamaya mukundhapAdharakshiNi! mAm

 

Oh Mukunda Paaduka! At the time of death, I might lie like a

senseless stone. You ought to confer on me, the blessing of contact

with the Lord's Feet, familiar in the case of Ahalya, Gowtama's wife,

(who was made fit to serve her husband), so that I will be enabled to

be a servant of my Lord!

 

Namo Narayana,

 

SriMuralidhara Dasan

 

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

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Paadhukais of the One , who grants

deliverance from the cycles of births and deaths ! At the time , when

death approaches me , I will be still as a stone and senseless. At

that time, please make me eligible for serving the Lord like You .

May I be blessed by You to serve Your Lord in the manner in which He

made Ahalya eligible to serve at the feet of her husband.

 

2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: In addition to chasing away

the Yama BhatALs , Oh PaadhukaE performing antharanga

Kaimkaryam to Your Lord , You must look at me staying in

a state similar to a stone and raise me from the body via

Moordhanya NaaDi and get me to parama Padham to serve

SrIman NaarAyaNan ,there . May I be blessed with aprAkrutha

sarIram and attan svaroopa aavirbhAvam so that adiyEn can

perform Sarva dEsa, Sarva Kaala , SarvAvasthOchitha samastha

Vidha Kaimakryams to Your Lord and enjoy paripoorNa BrahmA-

nandham at Parama Padham !

 

3) Oh Mukundha PaadhrakshiNi ! During my last moments ,

as I stay senseless like a stone or a piece of wood ( anthE

paashaNa kalpam maam ) , You should bless me to be

qualified to serve the Lord of the Universe at all times and places

and all states ( Thvam Maam pathi padha paricharaNa

arham pariNamaya ) just as Your Lord qualified AhalyA ,

who stayed as a stone to serve her husband ( parichitha

Gouthama parigrahanyAyAth) again ...(V.S).
