SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya nama:

Dearest all,

Continuing on the wonderful verses on Srirangam by
Kulasekara PerumAL?When! O! When am I, the worst
sinner, going to redeem my life? 
'valvinaiyaen Enru kolo Vaazhum Naale?'

kOlaarntha nedunchaarngam koonaR sangam
kolaiyaazhi kodunthaNdu koRRa voLvaaL
kaalaarntha kathikkaruda Nnennum venRik
kadumpaRavai yivaiyanaiththum puRanchoozh kaappa
sElaarntha nedungazhani sOlai soozhntha
thiruvaranga tharavaNaiyil paLLi koLLum
maalOnaik kaNdinpak kalavi yeythi
valvinaiyE NnenRukolO vaazhum naaLE                   
 1.8

(AzhwAr details the five divine weapons of the Lord
herein) The strong divine bow- Saarngam along with its
fiery arrows; The white most beautiful conch shell
(Shankham) that is slightly bent and curved as if it
is brimming with pride due to the wonderful bhagavad
anubhavam; The most strongest divine chakrAyudham, the
resplendent SudharsanAzhwAn, who can destroy the
enemies effortlessly; The KaumOdhakI (GadhA) that
spreads shivers of fear through the opponents; the
bright, shining spear that glitters victoriously at
all times (Naandhakam); the victorious GarudAzhwAn,
the divine bird who flies even faster than the air; - 

all of them surround and protect at all times in the
divine land of Srirangam which is surrounded by
fertile fields and cool gardens. In this Srirangam
lies Sri Ranganthan, Sarvaadhikan; Sarvagnan, Sarva
shakthan reclining on Thiruvarangatthu aravNai (the
bed of AdhisEshan)? when will this worst and lowliest
sinner be able to prostrate at the lotus feet of this
Lord, enjoy the unmatched and unparalleled Anandham
(ecstasy) and live in Srirangam? 

AzhwAr addresses himself as the worst sinner.. as he
is still not able to go and enjoy seeing the divine
Lord of Srirangam. This naichyAnusanthAnam is followed
even by Acharyas. 

AaLavandhAr's 11th verse in Sthothra Rathnam starting
with , " Na Ninthitam karma tadhasthi lokE sahasrasO
YannamayAvdhAyee "  is a case in point. Here, the
great AachAryA cries out to Lord MukhundA :

" O Lord ! There is not a sin that I have not
committed tens of thousands of times . I do not know
of any sin that I have not committed. All of these
sins have now ripened and are ready to yield their
fruits . At this time of desperation and terror , I
stand before you screaming as to who is going to
protect me . 

Swami Desikan states elsewhere:

jaanan anaadhi vihithaan aparAdha vargaan
Swamin bhayaath KIMAPI  vakthumaham na saktha : 

(Meaning): Oh SarvesvarA! I AS THE BEARER OF LIMITLESS
LOAD OF ANCIENT SINS am standing before you with
terror in my mind and am dumb to describe your glories
. I stand muted before you weighted down by my paapa
Raasis. 

Swami Desikan also has described himself in yet
another sthothram as "Adharma pravaNAnAm agra skandha
pravruttham agatamaana vipratheesAram maam " . Here he
describes himself as the one standing in the front row
unrighteous and as one, who has no compassion for
fellow jeeva Raasis.
