Sloka 6

        alpApi me na bhavadIyapadAbjabhaktiH *
                shabdAdibhogaruciranvahamedhate hA |
        matpApameva hi nidAnamamuShya nAnyat *
                tadvArayArya yatirAja dayaikasindho ||          (6)


 

Sloka 6

Oh, gem of a preceptor and a veritable sea of compassion!
Unto your lotus feet there isn?t in me the slightest devotion
But, alas! My attachment to pleasures sensual grows intense;
Pray deliver me from the sole cause of all these, my sins.
 
Notes:
To a query whether the service prayed for in the preceding slokas does not 
accrue to the Poet, as a matter of course, by virtue of his exemplary devotion 
to the Great Master, the poet recounts, from this sloka onwards, his own 
numerous short comings, which could preponderate as serious impediments to the 
influx of his Master?s Grace.  ?Bhavadeeyapadabja? could be taken to mean ?at 
your lotus feet? invoking the samanadhikarana samasa or ?at the lotus feet of 
your devotees like Koorathazhvan, Mudaliandan etc.? calling into play the 
vyatikarana samasa.
