SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest Srivaishnavas, Earlier he performed Saranagathi in 22nd verse. Now he has described the mOksham and sought as the fruit for his prapatti performance in 46th verse. Alavandhaar thinks that he Lord appears to ask: The sages have performed Prapatti as part of bhakthi yoga and have performed bhakti yoga. You have performed effortlessly Prapatti and have sought mOksham- and responds describing His dayaa guNA (compassion) and his own disqualifications and his undeserving characteristics. dhigasuchim avineetham nirbhayam (dhayam) maama lajjam parama purusha yO(S)ham yOgivaryaagragaNyai: vidhi siva sanakaadhyair dhyaathum madhyantha dhooram thava parijana bhaavam kaamayE kaama vrittha: [47] Oh Parama purushaa! Unparalelled Supreme One! I- who is lowliest of the lowliest; - who is impure in manas, vaak and kaayam (speech, mind and action), who is immodest; who is audacious; who never adheres and acts in accrodance with saasthrAs; who transgresses at all times; who acts to the whims and fancies of mind?; who is impudent; who thinks that this is an independent self; who is self willed; - Inspite of all the above which are my qualifications, still I am desirous of mOksham and would like to be the eternal servant at Your feet- which even the likes of Chathurmukha BrahmA, Rudran [Sivan] and Sanaka muni et al can not even conceive and attain? I am so shameless; and fearless? and fie upon me? for being so? I hate myself for being so shameless and not bothered that others would laugh at me for seeking mOksham with such [great] qualifications? Following in accordance in saasthrAs; adhhereing to what saasthrAs presecribe abd perform karma anushtanam based on that strictly; eating saatvika food and if one does lead the life then slowly sattva buddhi would develop. Then will one listen to discourses, prostrate elders, vidwAns, and hear their sad upadEsams humbly and obediently. One would serve the elders and Acharyas with respect and great bhakti for them listening and following what they instruct and initiate. Even when they consider such Acharyan as their Lord himself, they are still scared and have an apprehension that they are not qualified and deserving to approach You for seeking mOksham; even if others praise them as vidwAns and saatvIki, they feel ashamed for being what their nature is (though they are quite pure) and hide themselves from elders and perform their anushtAnam without being noticed and exist with utter humility. Even such great mahaans are not equal to BrahmA, Rudran and even the Parama vairAgIs- like Sanaka rishis. Even they themselves are not scared of asking for mOksham from You and feel that they are not deserving yet. Otherwise, they would have sought and asked and got mOksham- long ago.. the very fact that they have not yet got- means they do not yet consider themselves as deserving. But look at me- I have not studied anything in order. One may say- it is inappropriate for me for me to ask mOksham shamelessly. But I am kaaamavrutthan- desirous. I am even desirous of this mOksham. It is clear that I am so. In as much as I transgress all saasthrAs and do not abide by the same, I do NOT follow the mOksha saasthram also and seek from you the mOksham with all such disqualifications and seek shamelessly. When thinking of it, I myself hate me for being so. But still, please listen to me and my plea further.
