Padhuka Sahasram-292

[Guest guest]

Dear Bhaktas,

 

Due to a lot of work pressure and personal commitments, there was

an extended hiatus in the Padhuka Sahasram postings. Due to the

limitless compassion of the Divine Couple and the munificent blessings

of the Padhukas, adiyen is re-starting this kaimkaryam.

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

rangEshvarasya lalithAni gathAgathAni

 

Oh Paaduka! The Lord places His Feet in You at the appropriate time

and walks, keeping the umbrella-chamara-like paraphernalia to be

still, so that He can engage Himself in a graceful amorous sport with

You, in a relishable manner to all viewers. This becomes a constant

feature.

 

Namo Narayana,

 

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Slokam 292:

 

1) Abhinava Desika Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam:

Oh PaadhukE!Out of the abiding passion that Ranganatha has for You ,

He reduces the movement of the fans and umbrellas used in His service

and strolls very leisurely to enhance the enjoyment of the union with

you.It appears as though He does not want any distractions during

these occasions.

 

2). Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! On special occasions ,

Your Lord adorns you and moves around elegantly . During those times ,

His servants swing the umbrellas very rapidly . Inview of the speed ,

the umbrella looks as though they are stationary .One of the movements

of the Lord as He is taken around (sanchAram ) is known as oyyAra

Nadai .

 

3). This slokam deals with the "gathA-gathAni" ( the coming and the

goings) of the Lord on the back of the Paadhukais. They are delightful

(lalithAni) to watch and are steeped in cool srungAra rasam

( seethala-tarANi-srungara-mayaani)…V.S
