Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:

916. prathiBhAyA: param thatthvam biBhrathI padhmalOchanam
     paschimAyAmavasThAyAm pAdhukE! muhyathO mama

Oh Paaduka! I pray that You bring to my vision, the para-tattva, the 
Supreme Lord, with lotus eyes, at the last moment of my life, when 
death will stare at me, when I will be senseless and in a swooned 
state.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes from V.Sadagopan (V.S):
*********************************************
 
SlOkam 916: This slOkam is set in the chithra poetry type
known as "KriyA Vanchana prahELikaa". KriyA padham refers to
the verb , which connects the subject and object in a sentence.
When the verb is hidden , it is called KriyA Vanchanam . 
The playful and artistic use of KriyA Vanchanam is known as
KriyA vanchana prahELikaa . The word vanchana PrahELikaa 
means a game of cheating . Swamy Desikan uses the word 
"PrathibhAyA: " in this slOkam , which is in the sixth case. 
This word looks like a yEka vachanam and makes us wonder , 
whether the verb is missing. Actually , PrathibhAyA: here means , 
please appear before me and thus fulfils the function of the verb .
This is an example of the KriyA Vanchana prahEhlikA style 
of Chithra poetry :
 
" PrathibhAyA: param tatthvam Bhibrathee Padhma-lOchanam
  paschimAyAmavasTAyAm PaadhukE muhyatO mama "
 
1) UtthamUr  Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! During my last 
moments on this earth , please appear before me , who is deluded
and bless me with Your vision representing the high principle of
Yours based on Your Lord with the red lotus-like eyes.
 
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:  Oh PaadhukE! during my last 
moments in life , my limbs will cease to function one by one and
my mind will get deluded.During those anthima kAlam , please 
appear before my mind with Your beautiful form , which carries 
the lotus eyed Lord , who destroys all SamsAric thApams !
( Although the prayer is to PaadhukA to appear at the last 
moments of one's life , the prayer is addressed to the Lord as 
well since , the PaadhukA is never without its Lord ).
 
3) Oh PaadhukE ! You carry ( Thvam Bhibrathi) the Lord , who is 
the Supreme Tatthvam ( Param Tatthvam) and who has the eyes
with the color of freshly blossomed lotus ( Padhma lOchanam) .
During my last moments ( parisramAyAm avasTAyAm) , when my 
mind will be confused ( muhyatha: mama ) , Oh PaadhukE ! You
should appear before me ( with Your Lord) ! ---(V.S).
