Prayer for sthira bhakthi

nAsthA dharmE na vasu-nicayE naiva kAmOpabhOhE
yadyadbhavyam bhavatu bhagavan pUrva-karmAnurUpam |
Etat prArthayam mama bahu matam janma-janmAntarE'pi
tvat-pAdAmbhOruha-yuga-gatA niScalA bhaktirastu || 5

O Lord filled with the six celebrated qualities! I am not interested in the acquisition of wealth or in the pleasures of the other worldly life. I am not attracted by sensory pleasures at all. Whatever that will happen as a result of Purva Karmaas,let it happen! The only thing that I pray for is the steady and undiminishing devotion at your Lotus feet in every one of my births.

VERSE 6:

at the last moments of life:

divi vA bhuvi vA mamAstu vAsO
narakE vA narakAntaka! prakAmam |
avadhIrita-SAradAravindau
caraNau tE maraNE'pi cintayAmi || 6

Here the King of Kolli Naadu prays for the lotus feet of the Lord as Antima Smurithi. Azhwaars and Aacharyals have begged the Lord to have thoughts about HIM during their Anthima Prayaanam. One Example of such prayer is found in the twelfth verse of Sri Gopala Vimsathi:

harineela Silaa vibhanga neelaa: pratibhaa:
santu mamaanthima prayaaNeh |

(May the images of the beautiful blue complexion of your body resembling that of a Indra Neela Gem appear before me at the time of my departure from this earth!) Kulasekhara states in this verse that he is indifferent to his residence at Svargam or Earth or Narakam at the time of his Anthima Prayaanam. The only thing that he cares for is the memory of the Lord’s Lotus feet that surpass the beauty of the lotus of the autumn season.

VERSE 7:

Request for residence inside the cage of Lord's Lotus Feet immediately:

kRshNa tvadIya pada-pankaja-panjarAntam
adyaiva mE viSatu mAnasa-rAja-hamsa: |
prANa-prayANa-samayE kapha-vAta-pittai:
kaNThAvarOdhana-vidhau smaraNam kutastE || 7

Kulasekhara prays here for safe residence as of now inside the cage of the Lord’s holy feet. He compares his mind to a king swan that wishes to enter the safe cage of the Lord’s Lotus feet. He explains the reason for this urgent and pressing request.He says that at the time of his departure form this earth, he may be totally helpless and will be overcome by blockage of throat from the Phlegm, bile and irregular respiration.

I may not be able to think of You under those circumstances. Therefore, let me enter the safe haven(cage ) of the lotus feet of thine NOW!

The Azhwaar"s Paasura Vaakyams such as

· "Appothaikkippotheh Solli vaithen ",

· "Vaayorupakkam Vaangi Valippa,Vaarnda NeerkkuzhikkaNkaL Mizharra"

are reminiscent of the terror experienced by the Azhwaars and their seeking Insurance form the Lord to protect them, when they are helpless during the last moments of their life.

Varaha Sarama slokam is the answer that the Lord gives to Kulasekhara. Those Sarama Slokam words are:

"mriyamaananthu kaashta paashana sannibham,
aham smaraami madh bhaktham nayami paramangathim ".

Lord Varaha assures the Bhakthas that he will think of them at the time of their death, when they lie incapacitated on their death bed as stones or a piece of wood and lead them to his supreme abode.
