Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

995. bahuviDhapuruShArThagrAmasImAntharEvAm
        haricharaNasarOjanyAsaDhanyAmananya:
BharathasamayasiDdhAm pAdhukE! BhavayamsthvAm
Shathamiha sharadhasthE shrAvayEyam samruDdhim

May I ever live-may be hundreds of years-in this Srirangam, singing 
Your praise, ever meditating on You without any other thought, 
realizing that this cult of Bharata is most potent, this worship 
being regarded as the ultimate in the human goals. Your continuous 
contact with the Lord's Feet being the cause of such elevated status.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(V.S):
 
SlOkam 995
 
1) UtthamUr  Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukA DEvi! There is nothing 
more to obtain besides You .Even then , from the example set by 
Bharatha, I realize that you can not be seperated form the Lord's 
feet. Therefore, I want to sing about Your glories throughout
the earth during my alloted life span of one hundred years. I will 
spread the story of your glory among the people of Srirangam among 
the villages and cities around and among the rest of the earth 
through the verses of SrI RanganAtha PadhukA Sahasram. 
 
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The descriptions/salutations  of the 
PaadhukAs in this slOkam can be intrepreted either with focus on the 
BhUmi or the SadAchAryAs. The commonality is that the samrutthi ( 
Iswaryam/Prosperity ) of a floursihing nation and the vaibhavam of 
the auspicious PaadhukAs. Swamy  Desikan prays here to the 
Paadhukais to be blessed with  long and happy life as a PaadhukA 
sEvakan at Srirangam worshipping the Paadhukais  and singing about 
the glories of the Paadhukais. Swamy  Desikan wants all the others 
to have the same aanandha anubhavam that he has in enjoying the 
Paadhukais and for that purpose, he wants to stay at Srirangam for a 
long time and sing about  the unique glories of  the Paadhukais. 
 
3) Oh PaadhukE ! May I be fortunate to live at Srirangam for many 
years meditating on You and propagating Your limitless glories 
revealed in Bharatha  SiddhAntham (Bharatha samaya siddhAm ThvAm 
ananya: iha tE samruddhi, satham saradha: srAvayEyam )! What are 
three of these Samruddhis or auspicious features ? They are: (a) The 
Paadhukais are the limits of the four kinds of PurushArTams ( 
Dharma, arTa, Kaamam and Moksham) and their subdivisions (Bahuvidha 
PurushArTa grAma seema antharEkhAm),  (b) Blessings to have the 
association with the lotus feet of the Lord (Hari CharaNa sarOja 
nyAsa dhanyAm), (c) establishment by Bharathan that the AarAdhanam 
of the Lord's Paadhukais are as sacred as that performed for the 
Lord Himself ( Bharatha samaya siddhAm ThvAm bhAvayan tE samruddhim 
srAvayEyam) ....(V.S).
