SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama:
Dearest all,
  
Oh AzhwAr! I am your companion always! The mind is
indeed fickle. Remember arjuna said the same?
sanchalam hi mana: krishna. But still that mind can be
controlled with practice and detachment. [abhyaasa and
vairAgyam]. There are bhakthas who have and do that
and perform bhakti yoga to attain Me. I would grant
you such a mind. You will also be blessed with mOksha.
? says the Lord. AzhwAr proceeds with his request
further. 

siththamum sevvai nillA
 thenseykEn theevi NnaiyEn,
paththimaik kanpu taiyEn
 AvathE paNiyA yan^thAy,
muththoLi maratha gammE!
 muzhangkoLi mukilvaN NA,en
aththa!nin Nnatimai yallAl
 yAthumon RaRiki lEnE.         10

mutthu- Shining pearl like cool Lord!
oLi maragathamE ? resplendent and shining green stone
coloured Lord! 
muzhangu oLi mugil vaNNA! ? One whose merciful nature
is like the rain bearing clouds that roar with
thunders and sparkle with lightning!
en attha! My Swami, who is so loving and affectionate
towards me! 
Sitthamum sevvai nilladdhu- the instrument, i.e. the
mind is not firm on You.
en seygEn- what can I do? 
theevinaiyEn ? I, who has committed so many sins which
will stand in the way of constant meditation on You; 
patthimaikku anbu udaiyEn AvathE ? for myself being
fully devoted to You with no interruption
paNiyaay ? please enable me be so;  
enthaay ? my Father! my Lord!  
ninadimai allaal yaadhonRum aRigilEn ? Except for
being an eternal servant to You, I never ever think of
anything else at all.   

My mind is never focused on You always. It may also
mean ? in line with ThoNdaradippodi AzhwAr?s
udalenakku urugumaalO en seygEn ulagattheerE. (19th
verse of Thirumaalai) . My body and mind simply melt
looking at Your divinely beautiful divya mangaLa
vigraham. What can I do? Perhaps Thirumangai AzhwAr
implies the same. 

Bhakthimaikku anbu udaiyEn AvathE- Don?t make me get
involved in bhakti yoga; Instead, simply make me to be
involved in You with love, love and love on You. 
What is bhakti? Realizing Him as the Swami and self as
His eternal servant and being devoted to Him at all
times- That?s what AzhwAr says he is always.  That one
will have in Paramapadham. Here it is difficult due to
karma, bondage and other bodily relations that exist.
They forget the sesha seshi bhaava in this world. One
should contemplate on Him, with pithA tvam, pAthA
tvam, etc.. Sarva vidha bandhu is He. When one
considers Him as Father, Mother, Son, friend et al,
the love and the extent, nature of that would be
different and varied. Having such a love in different
roles and think of Him alone would bless us with
Paramapadham and then we can have fullest devotion on
His Lotus Feet therein. Hence please bless me with
such kinds of love here so that I will get bhakti
later ? says AzhwAr perhaps. 

What I am asking You- being eternally servant to You.
That?s all. Please bless me with that without any
hurdle or hindrance. Whatever it would grant me,
please retain me in that state of servitude to You.

AzhwAr ThiruvaDigaLE SaraNam
