Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

959. dhoUvArikadhvirasanaprabalAntharAyaI-
        dhUryE padhAvani! DhurADyabilapravEshaI:
        thadhrangaDhAmanirapAyaDhanOttharAyAm
        thvayyEva vishramaya mamkshu manOraTham mE

Oh Paaduka! I should not suffer at the hands of snake-like gate-
keepers of the mole-hills of rich persons, in my efforts to get a 
few coppers for my living. The most valuable perennial treasure that 
Sri Ranganatha is, rests in You of admitted greatness. My prayer now 
is that You make my craving to rest in You; please grant it at once!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan 

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
 
SlOkam 959
 
1) UtthamUr  Swamy's anubhavam: Here, Swamy  Desikan describes 
the kind of inauspicousness that will not come his way due to the 
grace of the Paadhukais. One of the inauspiciousness that Swamy  
Desikan feared is that of entering the house of the wicked wealthy 
to request money from them to make a living . Swamy  says: " The 
houses of the wicked wealthy are in reality the residence of 
poisonous snakes. Rich are the big snakes with the twin tongues. 
They say one thing and do not stick to it the next time. When You
are in Srirangam blessed by the permanent wealth known as 
RanganAtha , I do not need to enter the house of the haughty rich ; 
I will turn my attention to You and fulfill my heart's desires . May 
Thou keep me restful quickly in Your shade !
 
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE ! There are those ,
who deluded by their wealth do not realize that wealth is  
perishable and their exalted status and riches are transient . 
Forgetting these facts, they become haughty and arrogant. Even the 
servant in front of such rich men insult the visitors with harsh 
words just like their masters. Entering their houses is like 
entering the abode of poisonous snakes . One is terrorized
over the thought of entering the houses of these haughty rich and 
coming out of them safely . It is the poverty and desire for wealth
makes the SamsAris enter the houses of these kings of misers . 
It is indeed a delorable state. Wont You keep us away from the 
houses of the rich and direct us towards the house of Your Lord , 
who is sarva sulabhan and the possessor of undiminishing auspicious 
wealth of every kind ? Thus laments Swamy  Desikan .
 
3) Oh PadhAvani ! I am saddened by my  decisions to enter 
the doors of the arrogant rich guarded by the hissing snake like 
door keepers ( dhouvArika dhvirasana praBalAntarAyai: 
dhurADya Bhila pravEsai : aham dhUyE ). To remove my sorrows 
arising from my pravEsam into the houses of the arrogant rich ,
You must  fix my firm attention and desire with Your Lord , 
the source of all undiminishing riches ( Tath RangadhAma nirapAya
dhana uttharAyAm , manoraTam munkshu visramaya)....(V.S).
