SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

Dearest srivaishnavas, 

In various births from time immemorial, in as much you
had committed paapams, you have also been committing
puNyas [virtuous deeds]; Those good deeds have been
enjoyed- do not think. You can enjoy them in future
here. Do not cry with just dhukkam [sorrows] alone;
There are very many ways of granting you sukham
[happiness] here. Do not rush for mOksham-says Lord..
Alavandhar responds: 

nimajjathOnantha! bhavaarNavaantha: chiraaya mE koolam
ivaasi labdha: 
tvayaapi labdham bhagawan idhaaneem anutthamam
paathram idham dayaayaa: [24] 

Oh immeasurable One who manifests everywhere! Sarva
vyaapI! I- who is deeply immersed and drowning in the
vast, deep ocean of samsaaric ocean- have been blessed
with Your grace right now- as a kind of shore for the
ocean. Oh Lord of most auspicious attributes! KalyaaNa
guNaarNavaa! After so many births and time- now- I
have been blessed with your divine mercy right here as
if there is no such better more capable recipient of
Your grace that this object (i.e. me). 

I am getting drowned slowly and slowly; At least one
who is nearer to the shore- may catch hold of the
shores or yell for help. For the one who is in the
middle, there is no way he can seek help. If one is
drowned in the well, there can be some sort of hold if
the hand is extended; how can there be any support or
escape in the middle of vast, deep ocean? Since You
are ananthan- manifesting everywhere, You alone are
the hold for me at the middle of this deep vast ocean
and there can be none else. For some, there may be
some sort of wood, or boat at the middle of sea; but
there is no assurance that it would also enable one to
reach the shore.. But You are the means and as well as
the end; You are the hold as well as the shore itself;
You are boat as well as the destination. So there can
be no better hold for me than You to escape myself
from this suffering ocean of samsaara. 

Please do not give me some fruits as pleasures of
worldly objects and tempt me to be in this samsaara
and let me get drowned further and further. Even if it
is deemed pleasure it would still make me drown
further? No escape. I am blessed to get you as the
shore or hold now- due to Your grace and my crying
aloud- because of my suffering and being unable to
endure the suffering any further. If You give me
pleasures then I may leave this hold and go away from
the shore i.e. You and may even forget You. I will
further get drowned further more. How can I firget?
How ca I afford to forget? I do not know when in
future ? will I even be blessed again with Your grace
at such close quarters? For the one who is getting
droned, if there is a boat in the right and the shore
on the left- where will he go? Certainly the shore-
and he will not board the boat? unless he is a fool
and doe not know what he is doing. Similarly, let me
catch hold of Your feet now as the shore- and not be
tempted your offer of pleasures which may be deemed as
boat- that may not take me to the shore? 

By the way- You and I are trying. You have been
waiting for me to turn towards You for so many births
of mine and now I am [due to your grace] turning
towards You. Sanma sanmaantharan kaathu- You had taken
so many briths- even avathArams- blessed  so many
saasthrAs; came as so many achaaryas. Now I am blessed
to be caught in your circle. If You leave me, will I
even come back? I do not know.  Will this most
valuable property of Yours- this jeevan- be able to
come back to You sooner? Never. Do not leave this
chance. Your kalyANa guNAs are also
innumerable-infinite. Your dayA is amazingly great.
Without that wonderful guNA of Your dayaa; other guNAs
would become defects for you.. Such faultless
blemishless Bhagawaan ? You are- All these guNAs reach
You because of Your being Bhagawaan. Thus You prove
Your dayaa guNA by taking me to You ? have mercy on
me. 
Thus, the Saranagathi- that I performed is for your
benefit. Get benefited.
