Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

918. charyAna: shoUripAdhu! thvam prAyaschithEShvanutthamA
     nivEshyasE thatha: sadBhi: prAyaschitthEShvanutthamA

Oh Lord's Paaduka! You are unexcelled in moving the Lord to bestow 
grace on us. We are committing sins continuously and the unexcelled 
procedure of atonement and expiation for sins is a contemplation on 
You. Hence Sadhus probably always keep You in their hearts, You of 
undiminished Sri! (The interpretations of anuttama are included in 
the above gist).

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(V.S):
*******************************************
 
SlOkam 918 : Paadha vritthi Yamakam Chithra formation
 
Yamakam refers to the repetiton in the same slOkma of words
or syllables similar in sound but different in meaning , a kind of 
rhyme. The two paadhams have similar endings with the cluster of 
words " PrAscchitthEshvanutthamA ":
 
CharyA na: SouripAdhu thvam prAyascchitthEshvanutthamA
nivEsyasE  tatha: sadhbhi: prAyascchitthEshvanutthamA (918) 
 
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhaavam: Oh Paadhukais of the Lord ! 
You are treasured in the hearts of righteous people since You are
the best of religious acts of atonement ( prAyascchittham) for
sins committed. You are the best in invoking Your Lord to banish
our sins and thus become the best of atonements". 
 
Swamy Desikan suggests that the PaadhukAs , which have 
the power of appealing to Lord and bring Him before the devotees 
are even more effective than Sri Devi in pleading the cases of 
sinners . The word "anutthamA " appearing twice  in this slOkam
has different meanings in conformity with the PaadhAvritthi yamakam
pattern of this chithra style. The word "anutthamA " refers to the 
Lord denoted by the letter "A" in the PraNavam in the first Paadham ; 
in the second paadham, the same  word means the One ( PaadhukA),
whose glory is unexcelled.
 
2) The inner meaning is that PerumAL , ThAyAr and PaadhukAs of 
the Lord (SadAchAryAs) are inseperable from each other . In our 
reflections (anusmaraNam ) , all the three of them have to be 
included.
When one thinks of the Paadhukais of the Lord , it becomes the most
celebrated and powerful PrAyascchittham for all of our sins.Paadhukai
becomes the Utthama and PrAdhAna angam for all KarmAs.Reflections 
on them at the end of the prescribed karmAs move the karmAs 
to the succesful Poorthy stage.They serve as the adhvidheeya upAyam 
for the growth of SrEyas and Kaimkarya Poorthy ..  
 
3) Oh PerumAL's PaadhukE ( Souri Paadhu) ! Thou art the top most 
among PrAyascchitthams ,  when it comes to removing our sins ( Thvam 
Na: 
prAyscchitthEshu anutthamA ). People performing karmAs experience 
deficiencies ( lObham ) in ManthrAs , TanthrAs , KriyA , dhravyam and 
niyamam
( Manthra lObham , Tanthra lObham et al) . As a result , the KarmAs 
do not 
reach completion stage. The SmaraNam and dhyAnam of Paadhukais by
the righteous ones  fills these deficiencies and completes the KarmAs 
(Tata: Sadhbhi: chitthEshu nivEsyasE ) . The charyA ( Observed rites) 
becomes as a result superior ( anutthamA).
