Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:

thvadhaDhInAm gathimAmananthi santha:

 

Oh Paaduka! One bears You on his head. Another is borne by You

through

His Feet being worn by You. The future of both are dependent on You,

so say the great.

 

(You decide the course of the Lord. The Bhakta attains the Supreme

Path by bearing You on his head.)

 

Namo Narayana,

Special Notes by V.Satakopan(V.S):

**********************************

 

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Oh PaadhukE !

A Jeevan like me carries You on the head and

attains Your supreme blessings . You lift another

One ( Lord RanganAthan) , who makes contact with You

through His sacred feet . Both come under Your

power and You take them to places , where they

wish to go .

 

(2)Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh MadhusUdhana

PaadhukE ! One carries You on his head .The other is

carried by You on Your head. Learned people (santha:)

say that the sanchArams of both --the sentient one ,

who carries You on His head and Ranga Prabhu whom You

carry on Your head --are under Your control.

 

(3)Here the Vaibhavam of two influenced by

the paadhukais are described by Swami Desikan .

The chEthanan , who has the bhAgyam to carry

SatAri Soori (Paadhukais) on his head gets to

parama padham (ParamAm gathi )or the supreme abode

of MadhusUdhanan . The same Lord , who is borne by

the Paadhukai travels to the places , where He wishes

to go . Those destinations of the Lord could be

Srirangam's streets or the site where the asuran by

the name of Madhu was hiding . The Lord is dependent on

the Paadhukais for His many sanchArams involved with

Bhaktha rakshaNam or Dushta nigraham . Both the sentient

one and the Isvaran reach their destinations successfully

and are thus under the control of the Paadhukais according to

santha/learned ones : ( Santha:UbhayO: gathim tvadhInam

aamananthi)...V.S

Sri:

Srimathe Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya Namah:

 

Dear Sri Murali,

 

Thanks for sharing the sweet Padhuka sahasram translations and the deep esoteric

rich commentaries of Acharyas so nicely compiled by Sri Satakopan along with his

anubhavam too.

 

We are simply amazed by the deep meanings of these slokas composed by Thooppul

Swamy Desikan in one night..Thooppul PiLLaiyE PiLLai. Even to recite them at a

stretch, it takes five to six hours depending on the speed of recitation.

 

After all, He is VishNu gaNTAvathaaram.
