Padhuka Sahasram

[Guest guest]

Thanks to Sri. Sadagopan for the wonderful translations of

Sri Vedantha Desikar's Padhuka Sahasram.

 

Recently adiyEn came across the following which adiyEn thought had

some interesting relevence.

 

Some of our poorvAchAryA's in their vyAkyAnams of thiruppANAzhvAr's

amalanAthipirAn, have mentioned the following. The first three

letters of the first three stanzas in amalanAthipirAn are a, u and

m. Thus, he introduced the pramANaSAram of aum (OM) in the beginning.

And the the first letters of stanzas 5, 6 and 7 are pa, thu and kai.

This, then refers to the pramEyaSAram which is emperumAn's pAdhukA.

 

The beginning letter of the 4th stanza is sa, which connects the

pramANam with the pramEyam - perhaps, the learned members of this

list can expand on that.

 

The interesting point is that amalanAthipirAn is the only

thivyaprabantham for which Swami Desikan has written a vyAkyAnam

- called 'munivAhanabOkam'. I wonder if thiruppANAzhvAr was

the inspiration to his Padhuka Sahasram.

 

adiyEn recently received vyAkyAnams for amalanAthipirAn, and am

working on understanding it. Please let adiyEn know if the

translations of this wonderful work have already been posted

in this list, or should adiyEn make some feeble attempt at

translating and posting.

SrImate GopAla Desika Mahadesikaya namaha

 

Dear Sri Venkatesan:

 

Would you please post these Vakhyanams for Amlanathipiran?

 

You have written about the first 3 pAsurams starting with 'a, u, ma' and

leaving the next one, the following three start with 'pa, du, ka'.

This is mentioned by Sri Mukkur LakshmiNarasinhachariar in his book

"kuraiyonRum illai"(second volume). In addition to this Sri

LakshmiNarasimhachariar states that "Thirumanthirartham, Dwayamanthirartham,

Charamaslokartham" can be found in these 10 pAsurams. I would like to know

about it.

 

I do not remember reading about this in the Bhakti list. I could not find

it in the archives.

Thanks to Sri. Gopaul Laskhmanan for checking

the archives. Guess I should have thought of

that myself.

 

With the blessings of the pEravai, I have begun

the task of translating the vyAkyAnams for

amalanAthipirAn.

 

Any and all errors in these translations are

mine alone. I beg the forgiveness of our

poorvAchAryAs and the learned members of this

list, beforehand, for making them. Kindly

tolerate adiyEn's amateurish efforts and

please correct them as you see them.

 

In the next mail, I will post the thaniyans for

amalanAthipirAn and their meaning. Subsequent to

that, I would like to periodically post the

vyAkyAnams for one pAsuram at a time.

Dear PaadhukA SevakAs :

 

The PaadhukhAs of our AchAryAs and that of

Lord RanganAthA ( Swamy NammAzhwAr ) are

vital to us all Sri VaishNavAs.

 

Srimans Murali Rangaswamy , Achutharaman and adiyEn

have been performing a Kaikmaryam by writing about

Sri RanganAtha Paadhuka Shasram , one slokam per day ,

since September 1999 , the 731st Birthday of Swamy

Desikan .These are elaborations on the English monograph

of Dr.V.N.VedAntha Desikan on this Sri Sookthi released

earlier.

 

We are now at the stage of 432nd slOkam of this Sri Sookthi

containing 1,008 slOkams extolling the greatness

of the dhivya MaNi Paadhukais of Lord RanganAtha .

 

An excellent web site has been set up by Sri Achutharaman

and the slOkam for the day has been highlighted there

along with the summary on all previous slOkams todate.

 

Please visit this site and join in the adoration of

Lord RanganAthA at His own temple in Pomona, NY

as well as at Srirangam .
