Nyasa Dashakam (a stotra of ten verses on saranagati / prapatti) · Vedanta Desika (Venkatanatha) · 13th-14th century CE
Swami Vedanta Desika composed the Nyasa Dashakam as his own formal act of prapatti (self-surrender) at the feet of Lord Varadaraja of Kanchipuram. In ten verses he summarised the whole teaching of nyasam — that the burden and the fruit of protecting the soul belong to the Lord alone, that one surrenders with the five prescribed limbs, and that the surrendered soul should live as the Lord's eternal servant. Because it captures the distilled essence of saranagati, it became a daily recitation in Sri Vaishnava households.
✦ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ
It is traditionally said that whoever sincerely makes the surrender expressed in these ten verses need fear nothing thereafter, for the Lord Himself — as the final verse declares — has accepted the burden of their protection; thus the prapanna lives 'nirbhara,' wholly free of anxiety, secure in the Lord's promise never to forsake one who has taken refuge.

Nyasa Dashakam ಪಾರಾಯಣ ವಿಧಿ
Sit cleanly before an image of Lord Narayana / Varadaraja, ideally after bathing. Recite the ten verses slowly with full awareness of their meaning, offering them as your own prayer of surrender ('I take refuge in You', 'protect me', and so on). Sri Vaishnavas traditionally recite the Nyasa Dashakam within their daily aradhana for Sriman Narayana. Conclude by resting in the conviction of verse ten — that the Lord has accepted the burden, and one is now free of anxiety.
