Sloka 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.
