SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

Dearest Srivaishnavas,

OK. Kaakaasuran, SisupAlan- I had condoned their
apachArams and pardoned them. But how can you expect
me to do that on everyone? How can you instruct me to
do so? Also You performed Prapatti (Saranagathi);
After completing your whole life only, at the end, you
need to ask for kshamA (forgiveness). How can you ask
now? Alavandhaar responds saying Saranagathi has to be
performed only once- You mentioned. 

nanu prapannas sakrdEva nATha thavaahamasmeethi cha
yaacha maana: 
thavaanukampya smaratha: prathignyAm mathEkavarjam
kimitham vratham thE [64] 

Raghu nAThA! My nAthA! One who has performed
Saranagathi once with a desire to be Your servant; and
pleads for the same- whoever it is; You had taken a
vow, pledge (vratham) which You would never ever
forget.. Isn?t that Your limitless compassion? Such a
sankalpam of Yours to protect all those Saranagthars
whoever they are? Did You exclude me [when You made
that sankalpam]? 

[A brilliant sloka! Alavandhaar?s master stroke to
PerumAL].

When the whole army of Sugreeva was there along with
Rama Lakshmana, in the sea shore [before crossing the
ocean and going to lankA], You categorically and
mercifully made the most wonderful assuaging and
assuring statement [declaring Your acceptance of
Vibheeshana saranagathi and also declaring Your vow
[sankalpam] to protect all Saranagathars whoever they
are.. 

sakrthEva prapannaaya thavaasmeethicha yaachathE 
abhayam sarva bhUthEbhyO dadAmyEthath vratham mama? 

This famous statement of Yours- whenever anyone having
performed Saranagathi once says: I have realised that
I am Yours; such one will be granted fearlessness
(abhayam) by me for all future to come? This is my
Promise; vow.. 

Raamaar dhwin nAabhibhAshathE.. Rama never utters
twice. 

If anyone approaches You once and performs his
Saranagathi, saying, ?I am Yours, ? You entail in him
a greatest fearless state of granting him abhayam? You
only said that in the sea shore in front of the whole
army of Sugreeva and Vibheeshana. 

You are Raghu nAthA and my nathAn. You in Your
infinite mercy protect all beings thus, who take
refuge in Your Lotus feet..  

Please bless me also as You have not excluded me when
You made that vow. Thavaahamasmeethicha yaacha maana:
I am Yours. I have realised that I am Yours now ? when
I performed the Sarangathi; Hence please bless me with
more Bhagavad Kaimkaryam. Please grant me more jnAnam,
deeds towards the same. 

Alavandhaar ThiruvaDigaLE SaraNam
