SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest Srivaishnavas,

The prime reason for such utter lowliest feeling and
the feeling of repentance and utter helplessness
[nirvEdham] is explained here and the to save alone is
the Lord?s goal and objective and that is why He has
blessed me with this birth- says Alavandhaar

janithvaaham vamsE mahath jagathi khyAthayachasaam
sucheenaam sishtAnAm guNapurushatattvasthithi vidhaam
nisargaadEva tvaccharaNakamalai kaantha manasaam
athO(S)tha: paapaathmA saraNatha nimajjaami thamasi
[61]

I- having been blessed to be born in the lineage of
world?s most glorious anushtAthAs [one who performs
karma anushtAnams in strict and full accordance with
saathrAs and nothing else]; who are parama vaideekaas;
who have performed great yaagaas and yagnyas in their
lives; who have performed [karma/jnAna, bhakti] yogas;
who have fully comprehended the exact truths about
sentient, non-sentient entities [Chith and achith
tattva respectively] , Supreme entity [Iswara tattva]
in crystal clear manner; who have understood Purusha,
Jeeva tattvam unambiguously and the eternal relation
between them; who have since their births ? been
devoted to only Your red Lotus Feet alone; and had the
mind contemplating always only on The Lotus Feet of
Yours; - am the personification of all gravest sins;
and drowning myself in the darkness of thamasic world
(world of ignorance] and going deeper and deeper. Oh
SaraNyaa! Please see me? (bless me). 

My ancestors in the lineage where I came from- they
are SadAchAryars. They were fully resplendednt with
Achara, anushtAna, jnAna, vairAgya and bhakti. They
considered the fame, wealth, other?s property as blade
of grass and had their minds focussed and contemplated
only on the Lord?s Lotus Feet. They were such great
vairAgis [detachment]. They performed all vaideeka
anushTAnams and have then (athAthO brahmajignAsA)
performed karma, jnAna,bhakti yogas. They have not
learnt half baked truths about Purusha, Prakrithi,
Jeeva et al; but have fully and blissfully,
unambiguously understood and comprehended the tattva
jnAnam about the three entities namely Chith, Achith
and Iswara. The Upanishads celebrate the five guNams
of Sriman NaarAyaNa ( Para Brahman) as : Sathyathvam ,
Jn~Anathvam , Ananthathvam , Aanandhathvam and
Amalathvam. When one comprehends the Lord through
these five guNams (auspicious attributes) , one can
recognize His Sarva VilakshaNathvam ( being different
than all chEtanams and achEtanams) . These are the
Svaroopa Niroopaka dharmams for the lakshaNam(defining
marks) of Iswaran . My ancestors {Acharyas} have
underlined the bhEdams ( differences) between Iswaran
and the other two tattvams ( ChEtanams and
achEtanams):

Having understood the tattvams, in such clear manner,
they have caught hold of and contemplated only Your
Red lotus feet and do not know of anything else.  They
were not seeking any other material pleasures; worldly
pursuits and they were paramaikaanthins since their
birth? They had unalloyed devotion for You and You
alone. All this- I am not saying. This world says. The
world talks about their glories; They were living in
such humble and pious and religious life style.. 

And in this mahaa vamsam, was I born (as a grand son
of SrI NAthamuni shrEshtar) and where there should be
ample opportunities for growth for me, I have been
born as Sarva brashtan; been performing only paapams
(sins) right from birth; having no jnAnam about
tattvas; Mahaa paapi ? am I. And having known that I
am a mahaa paapi, did I attempt to improve and redeem
myself? Never. I am still going down and down
immersing myself in the depths of samsaaric ocean and
full of ignorance. Everyday I am going down. After
some time, perhaps I will touch the sea bed and there
may not be any chance at all for You to even lift me
out as I would have been trapped and caught into the
seabed. You need to lift me NOW ? RIGHT now- with Your
Hand lifting me up. You are Saranaagatha vathsalan. 

Why are You having such a vaathsalam on me and You
blessed me with such a GLORIOUS Birth in this lineage?
Did I ask for? You alone blessed on Your own accord. I
need to be saved due to my Saranagathi- In order to
declare that alone, You have blessed me with this
birth, I SUPPOSE. When such is the case, why am I
going down further and further? Because I am such a
greatest paapaaathmA. Now I would have even committed
the greatest paapam of having destroyed my greatest
vamsam (lineage). So, please consider this nirvEdham
[feeling of repentance and utter helplessness] as the
excuse and bless me Oh Lord! 

Alavandhaar ThiruvaDigaLE SaraNam
