Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

922. kArikA na na yAthrAyA yA gEyA asyasya BhAnuBhA 
     pAdhapA haha siDdhAsi yajnyAya mama sA anjasA

The Lord's Feet, by their effulgence, would dispel the darkness of 
all the worlds. For those Feet to go to places, Your help is 
essential. One will have to praise this unique previlege You enjoy. 
Nevertheless, You have come here to me, being ready for receiving my 
ablutions and other kinds of homage. What a wonderful thing!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan


Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
********************************************
 
SlOkam 922: The sabdha chithram incorporated in this verse 
is known as "anathiriktha padha tadhArTaanulOma prathilOmam ".
"anathiraktha " means unsurpassed. AnulOmam stands for natural
order and PrathilOmam refers to the reverse order. The sabdha 
chithram has an unsurpassed symmetry in the sounds that it makes , 
when read repeatedly :
 
kaarikA na na yaathraayaa   yaa gEyAsyasya bhAnubhA 
paadhapaa iha siddhAsi yaj~nyaaya   mama saanjasaa 
 
The PrathilOma(Reverse) paadam of this slOkam having the same
meaning of the regular(krama) Paadam befitting the sabdha
chithram chosen by Swamy Desikan is :
 
sanjasaa mama yaj~nyaaya siddhAsi paadhapaa
bhAnubhAsyasya yaa gEyA yAthrayA nana kaarikA
 
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PadhukE! We have to salute 
You for Your intensity of resolve to accompany Your Lord in His 
travels to remove the darkness of ignorance that threatens to engulf 
the universe, when Dharma is in decline. In this context, You come 
close, when I meditate on You. I am indeed fortunate and am very 
happy about Your blessings.
 
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: In the previous slOkam, the DayA 
guNam of the Paadhukais were praised. Their Supreme Lordship in 
association with their Lord (Parathva Ubhayuktha guNams) overwhelmed 
Swamy Desikan. He had naicchiyam (discomfort) about his unfitness to 
approach them. He was about to stay away from the most noble 
PaadhukAs driven by his feelings that he is anarhan (unfit). The ever-
compassionate PaadhukAs rejected this anarhAnusandhAnam by Swamy  
Desikan and used the guNams of Vaathsalyam, Souseelyam and soulabhyam 
to win Swamy Desikan back to Them and blessed him to perform 
AarAdhanam for Them without feeling discomfort. Swamy Desikan 
responds  to that anugraha visEsham and eulogizes the flood of DayA 
of the PadhukAs and states that he has no more wants in this world. 
The inner meaning is that SadAchAryAs are pleased with even a small 
respectful gesture of the totally unfit sishyaas and bless them with 
lasting anugraham ( kaTamchith upakArENa kruthinaikEna thushyathi). 
 
Swamy  Desikan says: Oh PaadhukE , who is responsible for 
the sanchAram of the Lord and the sarIra yathrais of the Jeevans 
as well as their Aathma yaathrais ! Your glories shine just
like the Sun. You have taken pity on a lowly one like me and have
rushed to bless me with the boon of Your worship . This is indeed 
a matter of great surprise and joy .  
 
3) You are the power behind the three kinds of YaathrAs : Bhagavaan's
SanchArams , the dEha Yaathrais of the chEthanams and the aathma
yaathrais of the Jeevans at the time , when their bodies fall down 
( Yaa Yaathrayaa: na kaarikA na: ) .You are fit for stuthi (praise ,
adulation , eulogy) because of Your parama KalyANa guNams
( gEyA) and shine like the radiant Sun ( BhAnupaa). Just as You
protect the Lord's Paadhams ( Asya Paadhapaa asi ) , You stand by 
to rush quickly (ajamsaa)  to my side to be worshipped  ( Yaj~nAya
siddhasi ) . I am a totally unfit one to come near You and even then ,
You rush to me even before I could dare to approach You and 
command me to perform Aaraadhanam for You without hesitation
( Asya Paadhapaa Saa mama yaj~nAya ajmasaa siddhasi)...(V.S).
