अस्यां नाटशालायां नृत्यन्नृत्यंक्ष्च सन्ततम् |
परम् श्रममवाप्याद्य विश्रान्तिमभिरोचये ||
अपि ब्रह्मादिलोकेषु विश्रान्तिर्न हि लभ्यते |
इति निक्ष्चित्य गोविन्द त्वामेव शरणं भजे ||
संसारसागरे मग्नं स्व्यमुद्धृत्या मां प्रभो |
पुनरावृत्तिरहिते वैकुण्ठे स्थापयाच्युत ||
प्रपन्नारक्षणे त्वं तु दीक्षितोसि कृपानिधे |
भवदावानले तप्तं प्रापयाद्यैव ते पदम् ||

श्रीभगवानुवाच
तव भक्तिं वर्धयितुं कृपयैव मया प्रिय |
प्रदर्शिता हि वैकुण्ठे ममेयं शाक्ष्वती स्थितिः ||
तव पादाब्जचिह्नेन लाञ्छितं मुनिपुङ्गव |
मम वक्षःस्थलं स्पृष्ट्वा त्वामवेहि च तत्वतः ||
तत्र भक्तपुरीक्षेत्रे निवास त्वं यथासुखम् |
भक्तकोलाहलस्यैव सन्निधौ मोक्षमप्नुहि ||
Shri Rajagopala Deshika prayed
I have been acting on this stage ceaselessly and now I want to have some rest. Oh! Govinda! Knowing that there no peace even in other worlds like Brahmaloka, I have surrendered to You. Oh! Lord, Achyuta! Please lift me up and rescue me from the ocean of samsara and place me in Shri Vaikuntha. Oh! Ocean of compassion! You have taken a vow to protect the refugees. I have been scorched by the blazing fire of samsara. Please take me to Your lotus-feet.
Shri Sadguru said
When Gopala Deshika prayed thus, the Devadeva, Bhagavan Shrinivasa, Shri Venkateshwara consoled him and said thus:
Shri Bhagavan said
My friend! Out of my compassion, I showed you My eternal position in the Vaikuntha in order to help your Bhakti grow manifold. Oh! Saint! Just touch My chest bearing the imprint of your foot, and know the secret about yourself. Continue to stay at Bhaktapuri Kshetra itself happily. You will attain moksha in the serene presence of Bhaktakolahala
