SrI:

SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

Dearest Srivaishnavas,

I do not want anything except for sEshavrtthi
[incrementing my servitude] and if it is not there,
let me perish. ? You are saying, Alvandhaar. Now if I
place an attractive object in front of you, would your
mind not change? Hence what you say now is: not true..
It may change later. It may not be permanent state of
mind. 

Alavandhaar responds: Even if this desire of mine- is
not strong, fickle minded, be it so. At least for my
asking now, please bless me so. At least make this as
a plea and pray to Yourself, as an excuse for
transforming mind itself slowly and steadily. 

anicchan apyEvam yathi punaridheecchanniva rajas
thamacchandhacc chathmasthuthivachana bangeerasamayam
thadaapeetthamroopam vachanam avalamyaapi krupayaa
thvamEvaivambhootham dharaNidhara mE sikshaya mana:
[59]

Engulfed by rajasa, thamO guNas and covered by the
same; with no strong desire [perhaps] for the
sEshavriithi- though spelt out in earlier verses;
having desired thus now- with deceit [kapatam] in mind
and outward asking and desiring for sEshavritthi; I am
uttering this verse outwardly for the name sake. Be it
so. EVEN THEN, please bless me even such a deceitful
statement of mine itself as an excuse, and oh Lord!
The One who mercifully and compassionately lifted the
BhUmA dEvi of immense patience and helped us! With the
same daya, compassion, and ocean of mercy, please
correct and transform my mind. 

As a Sarvagnan [Omniscient] if You have known that
with no intense desire ? I asked for in the earlier
verses for incrementing sEshavritthi, then can I
negate the same and argue and I have to accept that I
did NOT surely have such an intense desire for the
same. Even if it is so, I AM now seeking the same for
purer mind and more intense desire developed in me. I
am now praying to You and pleading for the
transformation of my mind with more intense seeking.
Others should not later blame You that in spite of my
asking for the intense desire, You did not grant me?
Please Bless me by transforming the mind so. 

Also, You are VaraahaswarUpi; having lifted the BhUmA
Devi from all troubled waters mercifully and saved
us.. With same extent of dayA, please bless me so..
There in Varaaha avathAram, You had mentioned to BhUmA
Devi- that when one performs Sarnagathi at Your Lotus
Feet in stable mind, then at the end of his life, You
would by Yourself take mercifully to Your Abode. With
the same dayA, please bless me now for the
transformation of my mind if You think it is not yet
purer and am seeking not with intense desire. Even if
You think this prayer for transformation of mind
itself is STILL NOT with intense desire, EVEN then,
please bless me for the transformation of mind ? can
also be a different kind of interpretation for the
word ?api? here.

Alavandhaar ThiruvaDigaLE SaraNam

Namo Narayana
