Dear Sri T.S. SundararAjan:

 

Thanks very much for your encouragement

to publish the meanings/commentary appearing

in our Bhakthi list on Sri RanganAtha

PaadhukhA Sahasram(RPS)in a book

format , if such an effort has not been undertaken

already . To the best of my knowledge , there is

no English rendering-cum gloss on RPS today.

 

The Commentaries of the late Abhinava Desika ,

Sri Uttamoor SwamigaL and that of NammANdavan/

Aakkoor AaNdavn in Tamil are the only ones that I

know off . Actually , I am using them as references

and blending their complimenatary points of views

to pay reverence to the two AchArya ParamparAs

and their sampradhAic views and presenting them

in a way that will be easier for us to appreciate

the extraordinary genius of Swami Desikan

and his reverence for NammAzhwAr .

 

If Lord RanganAthA wills , the task of releasing

these postings in a cogent format with slokams in

the DevanAgari script and the careful transliteraton

of the Roman alphabets with diacriticals as well as

inclusion of the aruLiccheyal pAsurams in Tamil

would all fall in place.

 

I have completed the first draft of translations

of the 1008 verses already . The version included

in the current postings constitute the next version

that blends the AaNdavan Aasramam view points with

those of Uttamoor SwamigaL's sampradhAyam .

 

The slokams of Chithra Paddhathi , Nirvdha

Paddhathi and the Pala paddhthi are deep in

meaning . It is going to take some time to cover

them to the best of my ability .

 

May the Divya MaNi PaadhukhAs of Sri RanganAthA

and Hayagreeva Bhagavan guide me further and

bring the kaimkaryam to an auspicious conclusion .

 

V.Sadagopan

SrImAn V. Sadagopan would know whether any English rendering-cum-gloss

of SrI pAdukA-sahasram has been published by anyone so far. If

negative, I wd request SrI Sadagopan to consider publishing one, by

making use of his comprehensive postings to the 'bhakti list'. The

book format would, of course, reorganising the material which we have

been enjoying on our 'list'. The SlOkam shd invariably be in dEvanAgari

script, with a careful transliteration in Roman alphabet with

diacriticals, and any aruLiccheyal pASurams that are cited shd be

printed in Tamil script. These are DTP days and this trilingual effort

would be worth it!
