Sri:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest Srivaishnavas,

Even if you perform Saranagathi in lieu of bhakti
yoga, why should you ask for mOksham in this birth
itself? Next births ? I will place you in higher
positions, with more pleasures and then take you after
few births.- Alavandhar worries- if Lord would ask
like that and responds pre-emptive. 

thavaamruthasyandhini paadha pankajE nivEsithAthmA
katham anyad icchathi |
sThithEravindhE makarandha nirbharE madhuvrathO
nEkshurakam hi vikshathE ||

Having placed the buddhi on your divine nectar
dripping red lotus flower like most beautiful Feet,
-would anyone desire for anything else? Never. The bee
that drinks the sweet honey from the pollens of red
lotus flower in a pond, would never even look at the
other non-smelling, no-honeyed flowers in the pond
like ikshurakam [a thorny flower without fragrance or
honey- neer muLLippoo in Tamil- weeds? ].. 

Your Lotus feet are the red lotus flowers. It also has
nectar- which is due to Your sowlabhyam ? showering
dayaa on us. That is the nectar. Unlike the earlier
days and lives, now I have placed my buddhi [and mind]
on those red lotus Feet [due to your grace]. You
yourself have enabled me place the same on Your lotus
feet. After having been blessed with that, would
anyone love for ? desire for anything else but Your
lotus feet? No never. 

Leaving nectar, would anyone compromise for anything
lower? Never. 

The bees that drink the honey from lotus flowers would
never even look for weeds. Even if it is near, even if
the eyes see the weeds, it would still not be tempted
as it is drinking the honey. It would not desire for
anything lower. Similarly, with the fruit i.e. Your
lotus feet in my vicinity and reach, would I go for
lesser ones? Why should I aspire for other janmams,
other pleasures? I am completely aware of the fleeting
pleasures, their follies, weaknesses and the lesser
importance of the same?  I am aware of the
consequences as well. 

nivEsithAthmA- the buddhi that has been placed on - 
here it can also be interpreted as mind; but buddhi ?
intellect- vivEkam- is stronger and more decisive-
less susceptible to temptations that mind. Also having
placed mind and intellect, one would not aspire for
others- can be the interpretation. Here AthmA- means
Jeevan. But it is more appropriate in the overall
contecxt to understand the same as buddhi [and/or
mind] than AthmA. 

Alavandhar ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam
