SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,
Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:
890. anupaDhi parirakshEnnEkaputhrABhimAnAdh
BhuvanamidhamashESham pAdhukE! ranganATha:
nijapadhanihithAyAm dhEvi! thiShtan brajan vA

Oh Paaduka Devi! Lord Ranganatha shoulders the burden of protecting
all beings. He does it all by Himself. He does it without expecting
any return, unlike what is usually the world's habit. The love, care,
and concern that He bears in respect of each individual being, is the
same as one (or He) would show towards an only son. The magnitude of
His burden can now be imagined. He has perhaps, this on His own
shoulder when seated. But by simple logic He may be regarded as
entrusting the whole to You; when He is asleep. When standing or
walking, the whole weight of His is borne by You along with His
burden of world-protection. Could one say that He bears the weight of
yours, while walking? You protect the Feet and that enables the Lord
to walk! While He is asleep, You bear Him as Adisesha. Thus Your role
as the role of Azhvar and Acharyas offering correct guidance to
people, is so much cardinal that the Lord chooses incumbents for the
assignments after elaborate testing. The worth of sadhacharyas has to
be understood in this spirit.
Namo Narayana,

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
SlOkam 890
1) UthtamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Devi PadhukA ! RanganAthA carries
the weight of the Universe in the spirit of a father caring for His
only son. Without any incentive but purely out of His compassion, He
places His feet inside You(PaadhukAs) and the burden of carrying the
load of the universe falls on You as well. Thus, You help Him to
carry the burden, when He is standing or walking .When He engages in
Yoga nidhrA, the entire burden of carrying the load of the universe
falls completely on You. During His sleep, You carry the weight of
AdhisEshan. The Lord sleeps now without any worry knowing that You
are in charge as His representative .
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! Lord RanganAthan
protects the world without expecting anything in returm and displays
the same affection a parent shows for his only son. This Lord of
SrIrangam places the responsibility of protection of the world on
the capable PaadhukAs, whether He is at His sannidhi or on sanchAram.
If Lord RanganAtha acts this way during His wakeful hours, one can
readily imagine that He assigns the protection of the world with the
Paadhukais , when He engages in nidhrA. Therefore, Oh PaadhukE !
You are the One, who bears the responsibilities of protecting the
world at all times.
3) Oh PadhukE! Lord RanganAtha protects the world without any
wavering like the Father, who protects his son without seeking any
rewards ( RanganAtha: asEsham bhuvanam yEka-puthra-abhimAnAth
anupadhi parirakshan iva).During the time of sanchAram or otherwise,
Lord RanganAtha places the responsibility of protecting the world with
You standing close to His Thiruvadi ( Thishtan vrajanvA RanganAtha:
nija padha nihithAyAm Thvayee nihitha bhara: abhUth). If this were to
be so during His wakeful hours, what is to say about the protection
of the world, when He sleeps (svApam rucchan kim puna: )? Yes ,
Ofcourse! He entrusts You with that protection as well ...(V.S).
