The 90th Naamam of SrI VenkatEsa AshtOttharam:
****************************************
MrugayAsaktha-mAnasAya Nama:

One who is fond of chasing the suffering chEthanams and to liberate them from the cycles of births and deaths.His Yoga NidhrA is all about  such chinthanais( thoughts) on catching such jeevans and offering them SaraNAgathi .

Swamy  Desikan's SaraNAgathi DhIpikai (slOkam 43) refers to the "hunt " by the Lord  " to capture" the many kinds of Janthus suffering from SamsAric afflictions and grant them Moksha Sukham . Swamy  Desikan prays that he beomes one of the janthus that would become the object of the Lord's focus and consequent compassion leading to anugraham:

 " sathvAni NaaTa vividhAnyabhisanjighrushO:
       samsAra NaaDya rasikasya TavAsthu Thrupthyai:
    prathyak parAngmukha mathE: asameekshyakarthu:
        prAchIna sajjana viDamBana bhUmikA"

(Meaning): Oh Lord! You come forward   and confront many janthus (Jeevans) and wish to bring them under Your benovolent sway. For this purpose , You grant different kinds of births to these Jeevans based on their KarmAs. You guide them to perform appropriate deeds during these births to get closer to You. They go about these activities as they are performing a dance in this samsAric  world full of sorrows. You watch and enjoy these dances of the  jeevans . As for me , I committ many trespasses and forget the means for my  upliftment. I do whatever that comes to my mind. One of those acts of  mine  is the performance of Prapatthi following my forbearers.I dress like  them  and  act like them . May this act of mine (Prapatthi) invite Your attention as  the connesieur of the dance of the Jeevans in this SamsAram.
