pAdhAvani! ThavdhanuShangavishEShadhrushya-
mEkAnthina: paricharanthi padham murArE:
Oh Paaduka! Respectable Sadhus, called paramaikantis, will not
resort to any other god other than You, and will not look for any
reward except You. Their routine practice is free from stigmas, like
attachment to the result of a deed. They are engaged in the thirteen-
fold observance of behavior. With their hearts purified thereby,
they enjoy rare conjunction of Yourself with the Lord's Feet and
earnestly render service to You.
Namo Narayana,

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
SlOkam 985
1) UtthamUr SWamy's anubhavam : Swamy Desikan refers here to
the virtues described by the Paadhma samhithai. He points out that
the worshippers of the Paadhukais are practioners of the thirteen
codes of conduct advocated by the Paadhma Samhithai and they stand
out while doing service to the PaadhukAs and the Lord's lotus feet .
Swamy says: "Oh PaadhukE ! There are those , who did not seek
anything else in this world except service to You. They are devoid
of ego, lust, desire and other defects and practise the thirteen
codes of conduct recommended for the righteous by the Paadhma
SamhithA. These thirteen break down into five kaayikam types (done
with the body), three Vaachikam ( performed with mind) categories
and Five Maanasam (accomplished with the mind) varieties. The
Kaayikam types are: (1) Poojanam ( bodily worship such as
prostration), (2) Soucham (bodily cleanliness) , (3) Aarjavam (
uprightness) , (4) Ahimsaa (noviolence) and (5) Brahmacharyam (
Celibacy). The three belonging to Vaachikam are: (1) words uttered
for other's well being, (2) saying truthful things and (3)
recitation of the VedAs. The five belonging to the categories of
Maanansam are: (1) satisfaction with whatever Lord ordains (2)
humility, (3) Forbearance , (4) God Consciousness and (5) Purity of
Mind .
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam : The inner meaning is that those who
believe their SadAchAryan as the sole means and seek no other phalan
attain satthva suddhi ( purity of mind and the perfection of aathma
guNams) and become free from blemishes. They perform AchArya
Kaimkaryams and gain Saathvika Tapas. The close links of their
AchAryAs generate unique love for the Lord dear to their AchAryAs
and the flow of that Bhakthi leads to additional Bhagavath-AchArya
kaimakrya Sri that results in the bliss of Moksha Sukham .
3) Oh PadhAvani ! Those who have no phalans other than you
are dependent on You as their sole UpAyam ( Oh PaadhAvani !
Thvadanya kaamA: yEkanthina : ). They perform special aarAdhanam
for Your Lord (MurAri) as a direct result of their association
With You ( yEkAnthina: Thvath anushanga visEsha dhrusyam
MurArE: padham paricharanthi).Their aarAdanam is blemishless
(KaamAdhi dhOsha rahitham ) , since it follows the thirteen modes
recommended by PaancharAthra aagamam . These nithya , naimitthika
kaamya sadhkAryams do not expect any phalans ( phalApEkshaa
rahitham ).
