Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

Oh Paaduka! May I ever be enabled to live on the sands of Kaveri, a 
pure and beautiful place! For, You will bless us by being a head-
ornament to us. You are the praise-theme for the Vedas. Your contact 
with us is sure to cut off our links with the continuously revolving 
Samsara.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
 
SlOkam 994
 
1) UtthamUr  Swamy's anubhavam: In the previous verse, Swamy  
Desikan expressed the wish that his soul join the Paadhukais for 
its  journey to the Supreme Abode of the Lord. Here, he prays for 
his subtle (Sookshma) body to be crowned with the PaadhukAs until it 
reaches the Parama Padham of the Lord. He says: "Oh PaadhukE ! At 
Srirangam on the banks of Cauvery, my earthly body will fall and the 
subtle body will join You. At that time, You who is celebrated by 
the VedAs will become my crown jewel. That auspicious event
will destroy future births for me. May I stay with You at the banks 
of Cauvery in my earthly life until I reach the Lord's abode 
following my dEhAvasAnam ?  
 
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: In the previous slOkam , Swamy 
Desikan dwelt on the happenings at the end of his life on earth as a 
Prapannan. Through this ( 994th) and two subsequent slOkams ( 995 
and 996th), Swamy  Desikan dwells on the aanandhaanubhavam as a 
Prapannan right here on earth at Srirangam in a manner developed by 
him in the 989th and the 990th SlOkams. He praises the glories of 
life at Srirangam worshipping Lord RanganAtha. 
 
Swamy Says: "Oh PaadhukE! Your place of residence, SrIrangam, is the 
most sacred dhivya dEsam located on the banks of the holy Cauvery 
river. It removes all sins that lead to the sufferings in SamsAram. 
For those, who are blessed to live here, You rest on their heads 
form birth to the last moments as SirObhUshaNam. Is there a Parama 
PurushArTam bigger than birth and residence at the dhivya dEsam of 
SrIrangam? adiyEn's prayer is to enjoy You without interruption
(vichyuthi) at Srirangam from the moment of birth to the last moment 
as a Prapannan. Please grant me that boon ! 
 
 3) Samicheena Saasthrams states that dhivya dEsa Vaasam and 
death( PrAkrutha sareera viyOgam ) in a dhivya dEsam in
the manner of "aabrahma lAbhAth adhivasEyam "(/ living from birth
onwards at Dhivya dEsam) will lead to Moksha PrApthi. 
 
Oh PaadhukE! The dhivya Desam where You reside besides Cauvery dunes 
is sacred ( Paavanam) to remove  punar janmam  ( Puna: udhara-nivAsa 
chEdhanam SahyasindhO: puLinam ). This is the sandy island between 
the two cauverys , Srirangam . May I be blessed to live here until I 
reach Parama padham ( aabrahmalAbhAth adhivasEyam ).  In these sandy 
dunes, the prapannAs have the bhAgyam of adorning You celebrated by 
the VedAs on their heads as aabharaNam during their different stages 
of life as an infant, youth, adult old man and upto the last moment 
of their lives (Yathra SrirangE, pumsAm sareerE pariNamathy sathy , 
NigamageethA Thvam Saasvatham mouLi-rathnam asi)....(V.S).
