Oh Paaduka! The beautiful Feet-lotus of Ranganatha in combination
with You would suffice to be enjoyed once. Then even great sages
would forget their usual craving for non-re-birth, so that they may
be born in the world again and secure this enjoyment.

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(V.S):
SlOkam 974
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: The sages who have experienced and
enjoyed the lotus feet of Your Lord , RanganAtha in companionship with
You do not wish for Moksham , which prevents them from being born
again. They want to take another birth to enjoy the pleasures of
association with Your Lord's holy feet supported by You with
affection. They lose their interest in Moksham , which will give them
only freedom from the cycles of births and deaths.
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that for
the BhagavathOtthamAs engaged always in performing Kaimkaryams
for SadAchAryAs , who in turn are steeply immersed on the dhyAnam
of the Lord , do not seek even Paramapadham .This reveals that there
is no Parama PurushArTam beyond kaimkaryams to SadAchAryaas
for the BhagavathOtthamAs . This is their Parama PrApthi . Swamy
Desikan cites the experience of sages like VasishtA here , who are
deeply absorbed in the practise of Bhakthi yOgam dealing with
uninterrupted dhyAnam of the Lord's holy feet assoicated with You (
Paadhukais). Once that dhyAnam takes root , that joyous experience
makes them forget about the desire for apunarbhava mOksham ; they put
up with the samsAric discomforts for sustaining the bliss of dhyAnam
of Your Lord's feet in close contact with You. The moksha dhvarai
( the urgency to seek moksham ) is gone for them.
3) For sages like VasishtA , the longing for Moksham is subdued
instantly (muneenAm tadhaiva apunarbhava kouthukam prasamam
gacchathi) . How does that happen ? It happens when they enjoy
even for once the most enchanting sight of the union of Yourself
with Your Lord's sacred feet ( MuneenAm ThvadhupaslEsha
manOharam Rangabharthu: padhAbhjam sakrudhapi anubhUya
prasamam gacchathi)... (V.S).
