SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

Dearest Srivaishnavas, 

After performing self-surrender [saranagathi] at His
Lotus Feet, Alavandhar for seven subsequent verses,
expresses his firmness and determination on his
saranagathi and responds all queries namely, why
should one seek and desire for mOksham; can that be
delayed; can one get mOksham from others; the means is
so small; and fruit- mOksham- how is that?- etc are
all answered here beautifully by Sri Yamunacharya
[Alavandhar] 

na nindhitham karma tadhAstho lOkE sahasrasO yanna
mayaa vyadhaayi
sOham vipAkAvasarE mukundhaa! Kradhaami
samprathyagathis thavaagrE [23]

whatever sin [paapam[ thousands of thousand times-
have not been committed
by me; there is no such paapam in any world. I am such
an incorrigible sinner- now when those despicable
deeds of mine are yielding fruits, and now going to
drown me in fullest of suffering and sorrows with
great dhukka, with no other recourse, no other help, I
am crying out in front of You? 

One can never see any sin in this world or in any
other world- which has not been committed by me- that
too- very many times- thousands and thousands of
times. You may have mentioned many paapams in Vedas
and saasthrAs- which are not even prevalent or popular
in this world. But even them- I had performed and
committed many times- in millions of earlier births.
Even if Vedas do not mention any paapam, but is in
your mind- even those sins have been committed by me
as well. 

So what? You can continue to do so- as you have been
committing since time immemorial. You can no say that,
Lord! Those paapams are now yielding fruits and are
going to torture me. Do not ask me to perform
parihaaram and preaayaschittham (undo to those
paapams]. How many thousands of praayaschitthams- and
how may times? For which paapams? Even while doing
those praayschittham- I may commit many more
apacharams and paapams? I do not also have the jnAnam
of knowing which praayachittham- how to perform
correctly etc.. Every act yields further more paapams?
I am now caught in tremdous ocean of suffering and
sorrows; Having realised my sinful pasts, [briths] and
the consequences, I am not crying aloud in front of
You? 

You do know that I am crying as I am crying in front
of You- before You? right here; now. Even when
Draupathi, Gajendar cried at such a distance, You
blessed them. You are Mukundan- mOksha pradhan-
Granter of mOksham. That?s why I am addressing You
with that most wonderful unique name of Yours and
crying in front of You. What is mOksham- to get rid of
all these karmic diseases and attain You. And You are
the Only One capable of granting the same- So, why
should I cry in front of You- do not ask. To whom else
can we cry? What can I do?- do not ask.. Only You can
do? 

Do not think that I am comfortable here; l am happy
and still to be more happy and enjoy more- I have
performed saranagathi at Your feet? It is NOT so.. I
am crying fearing all the fruits of the paapams that I
had committed and can not endure any more of this
scorching samsaaric affliction and heat; You can
delay; Bit I can never delay any more of my
performance of Saranagathi and I have no other
recourse. Since I am crying so loud with no other
refuge, and no other help- - being a utterly destitute
that I am- you need to take pity on me and bless me.
Saranagathi alone is my only praayaschittham for all
my millions of paapams committed so far. Hence I
performed my saranagathi at Your feet.

Alavandhar ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam

Namo Narayana
