PRANA PRAYANA SAMAYE- प्राणप्रयाणसमये

 SUBHASHITHANI:417

How many of us can claim to have darshan of the Lord at the point when we leave our body? We don’t know. But Jatayu had that. So, what appeared to be a failure of effort materially is actually a great success spiritually and the reason for that is remembrance of Krishna. Ravana, not being with the lotus feet of the Lord, lost everything. Srimad Bhagavatam verse 3.29.39: ( Srila Prabhu pada )

PRAYER FOR MEMORY OF SRI KRISHNA 
DURING THE LAST MOMENTS: 

अधराहितचारूवंशनाला
मकुटालम्बिमयूरपिञ्च्छमालाः ।
 हरिनीलशिलाविभङ्गनीलाः
प्रतिभाः सन्तु ममान्तिमप्रयाणे ॥Gopala vimshati 12
Adharahitha chharu vamsa nalaa,
Mukutalambhi mayoora pincha mala,
Hari neelashila vibhanga leela,
Prathibhasanthu mamanthima prayane., 12
I should be able to see Him,
With flute kept close to his lips,
With blue peacock feather adorning his hair,
And with his pranks shining like the blue gem,
During the last procession of my life. -Sri Vedanta Desika

( This is the famous verse by Sage Narada in Sankalpa Suryodhayam )

दिवि वा भुवि वा ममास्तु वासो
नरके वा नरकान्तक प्रकामम् ।
अवधीरितशारदारविन्दौ
चरणौ ते मरणेऽपि चिन्तयामि ॥ ६॥ ॥Mukunda Mala

divi va bhuvi va mamastu vaso

narake va narakantaka prakamam I

avadhirita-saradaravindau

caranau te marane 'pi cintayami II Kulasekara alwar

O Lord, killer of the demon Naraka! Let me reside either in the realm of the demigods, in the world of human beings, or in hell, as You please. I pray only that at the point of death I may remember Your two lotus feet, whose beauty defies that of the lotus growing in the Sarat season

कृष्ण त्वदीयपदपङ्कजपञ्जरान्तं
अद्यैव मे विशतु मानसराजहंसः ।
 प्राणप्रयाणसमये कफवातपित्तैः
कण्ठावरोधनविधौ स्मरणं कुतस्ते ॥Mukunda Mala
Krishna tvadiya-pada-pankaja-panjarantam
Adyaiva me visatu manasa-raja-hamsah
Prana-prayana-samaye kapha-vata-pittaih
Kanthavarodhana-vidhau smaranam kutas te
Krishna, within your feet which are like lotus stems,
How can my mind which is like a royal swan enter?
When the soul is ready to depart,
And when bile air and phlegm, choke my throat,
How will I ever remember your holy name?-Kulasekara alwar

ओमित्येकाक्षरं ब्रह्म व्याहरन्मामनुस्मरन् |
य: प्रयाति त्यजन्देहं स याति परमां गतिम् ||BG 8.13||
oṁ ityekākṣharaṁ brahma vyāharan mām anusmaran
yaḥ prayāti tyajan dehaṁ sa yāti paramāṁ gatim
One who departs from the body while remembering Me, the Supreme Personality, and chanting the syllable Om, will attain the supreme goal.

Maha Deva Maha Deva Maha Deveti vaadinah,
 Paschaadyaami Mahaastrasto naama shravana lobhatah, 
Shiveti mantramucchharya praanamstyajati yo narah/
 Koti janmaarjitaat Paapaanmukto muktim prayaati sah,
Shivam kalyaana vachanam kalyaanam kalyaanam Muktivaachikam/
Yaatsattha Prabhavettena sa Shivah parikeertitah- Sri Krishna
If somebody recites Maha Deva, Maha Deva and Maha Deva, I am tempted to be behind him and follow him; if somebody takes Shiva's name at the time of his death, that person would be freed from the sins committed by his/her previous crores of lives and most certainly secure Moksha. The word Shiva stands for Kalyana or Propitiousness and the word Kalyana denotes Mukti. Also the letter Shi stood for Paapa naashan and Va for Moksha- Brahma Vaivarta Purana 

अनायासेन मरणं विनादैन्येन जीवनं ।
देहि मे कृपया शम्भो त्वयि भक्तिं अचन्चलं ॥
anāyāsena maraṇaṃ vinādainyena jīvanaṃ .
dehi me kṛpayā śambho tvayi bhaktiṃ acancalaṃ ..
Requesting Lord Shiva to kindly grant three wishes: To give a peaceful death without any bodily troubles, a life without any trouble for the basic needs, total bhakti to lord Shiva.
