952. api janmani pAdhukE! Parasmin
anaGhaI: karmaBhirIdhrishO BhavEyam
ya imE vinayana rangaBharthu:
samayE thvAm padhayO: samarpayanthi
Oh Paaduka! Previleged are those persons doing pious
services at the Feet of Lord Ranganatha, respectfully
submitting You at the Lord's Feet for being worn! Will
I be ever enabled, by virtue of flawless acts of mine,
to secure another birth to do similar service to the
Lord? Please do grant one such!
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! May I become
one of the fortunate few , who become blessed to present You at
the appropriate times to Your Lord with humility . May I be blessed
with this boon to become sinless and to engage in such services to
you
atleast in my next birth , if I miss that opportunity in this birth .
Swamy Desikan talks about here about the next birth , although
those
who gain moksham through the grace of the PaahdukAs do not have
any more births. This statement is indicative of Swamy Desikan's
special joy in serving RanganAtha through PaadhukA Kaimkaryam
instead of staying in Vaikuntam as a result of attaining Moksham.
Earlier in SrI VaradarAja PanchAsath , Swamy Desikan has stated
in a similar vein that he would prefer to return to this earth to
serve
and enjoy Lord VaradarAjan than staying in Vaikuntam without any
rebirths (Vaikunta VaasEapi na mE abhilAsha: ) . Parasara Bhattar ,
the precocious son of KurEsar , the prime disciple of AchArya
RaamAnujA
also expressed a similar sentiment .It appears that all the servants
of
Ranganatha are equal in status to those , who permanently reside in
SrI Vaikuntam. That is why SrIrangam is known as BhUlOka Vaikuntam .
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! It does not matter
if you do not grant me the Parama PurushArTam of Moksham after
removing my sambhandham with this physical body . It will be
sufficent
for me if You grant me another birth with a body to be born as
the archaka for Lord RanganAtha to present You ( PaadhukAs)
to Him on the prescribed occasions ( Uchitha Kaalams) . Kaimkaryam
to You (Paadhukais) will be sufficent in this earth than Moksham
itself .
Please bless me with the BhAgyam to be born as an Archakar of
Lord Ranganatha . Wherever I am , May I be blessed to be engaged
in uninterrupted kaimkaryam to You .That itself is the equal to
Moksham.
May I be engaged in Bhagavath PaadhukA Kaimkaryam right here
if I do not get to enjoy the BhOgyA adhisayam at SrI Vaikuntam .
3) Oh PadhukE! The ArchakAs of Lord RanganAtha present You
to Him with humility during His Uhtsava Kaala sanchaarams and
during the six Aasana kaalams linked to His AarAdhanams
( PaadhukE ! yE imE vinayEna samayE ThvAm Rangabharthu :
padhayO: samarpayanthi ). Incidentally , The ArchakAs of Lord
RanganAtha belonging to five gOthrams are said to have descended
with their Lord to perform exclusive AarAdhanam for Him . Swamy
Desikan points out that the ArchakAs are rid of all sins through
such Kaimkaryams ( anagai: karmabhi: Idhrusa: ) and prays for
the boon of being born as Lord RanganAthA's archakan in the next
Janmam ( Karmabhi: Idhrusa: parasmin janmani api bhavEyam )...(V.S).
