SrI:
 
Srimate Gopalamhadesikaya nama:
 
Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N.Vedantha Desikan Swamy:
 
 nithyam Ranga Kshithipathy padhanyAsa dhanyAthmanasthE
 sinjA-nAdham sravaNa madhuram PaadhukE dheergayantha:
 kaalE tasmin karaNa-vigama klEsajAtham vihanyu:
 santhApam nasthruNa tuLaseegandhinO gandhavAhaa:
 
Oh Paaduka! You are most fortunate self to be in contact with
the Lord's feet at all times. When Your melody-rich sound is
generated , it would be heard at longer distances , as blown by
the wind. So also the rich fragrance of the TuLasi on the Lord
is brought about by the wind. That wind is cool. May You grant
us a boon that at the critical moment of death , You will see that
the melody , fragrance and coolness propagated through the wind 
reach us so as to remove the agony felt in all our limbs.    
 
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(V.S):
 
SlOkam 901
1. UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PadhukE ! RanganAthA's union with You
through His holy  feet makes You blessed in every way. Your pleasing Naadham , 
when You serve Him is the most auspicious sound to hear. That sound is blended
with the fragrance of TuLasi leaves adorning Your Lord's feet and is spread by
the winds far and wide . The combination of that Naadham and fragrance removes
the afflictions of ours at the time of our departure from this world.
 
2.SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:This slOkam reminds one of the ease of
departure from this world for a paramaikAnthi through rememberance of
Bhagavath-BhAgavatha-AchArya vishayams . Anthima smaraNam and
SraVaNam for the joyous journey to SrI Vaikuntam with the help of Bhagavath-
BhAgavatha SmaraNam is highlightd here. The pains and pangs of sorrow
associated with the last moments on this earth are banished through such
anusandhAnams and sights. Swamy  Desikan prays here for the blessings of
hearing the PaadhukA Naadham , the experience of contact with the cool
and fragrant TuLasi used in PaadhukA worship during His last moments. 
 
3. The extraordinary good fortune of experiencing the Paadhukais during
one's last moments are celebrated here. Oh PaadhukE ! You have the eternal
association with the sacred feet of the Lord of Ubhaya VibhUthi and have
attained fulfilment in this janmam ( Ranga-kshithipathi padha nyAsa dhanya
aathmana: tE ). During the last moments on this earth , Our minds will be
agitated over the loss of eye sight and hearing et al ( Tasmin kaalE Na:
karaNa vigama klEsa jAtham santhApam ). You should remove (vihanyu:)
that klEsam ( KaraNa KaLEbharam ) fully through Your deliberate acts of
making us hear the delectable Naadham arising from your bells
( tE SravaNa madhuram sinjAnAdham ) indicating Your sanchAram
with Your Lord towards us . You should let us inhale the fragrant breeze
arising from the young TuLasi leaves on You ( taruNa TuLasee gandhina:
gandhavAha: ) . These welcome experiences will banish our klEsams 
during the anthima kaalam.
