[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

 

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

 

373. pashyAmi padhmEkshaNapAdharakshE! BhavAmbuDhim pAthumiva

pravrutthAn BhakthOpayAnathvarayA BhavathyA: paryasyamAnAn

padhavIparAgAn

 

Oh Paaduka of the lotus-eyed Lord! In Your anxiety to reach devotees,

the dust from You appears to be driven to farthest distances on Your

path. Nay, I even believe the dust would cross the vast Samsara ocean

too!

 

Namo Narayana,

 

SriMuralidhara Dasan

 

Special Notes by V.SatakOpan: SlOkam 373

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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam:

Oh PaadhukE of the lotus-eyed Lord ! When I witness

the gigantic cloud of dust that you raise , when You

rush to approach Your devotees , it appears to me

that cloud of dust can easily ocean the Ocean

of worldly(samsAric) afflictions.

 

(2)Swamy Desikan describes the rush with which

the Paadhukai travel to the side of its BhakthAs

(BhakthOpayAna thvarayA).Lot of dust arises from

that fast travel. Those holy dust particles appear

to Swamy Desikan as the consumer of the ocean of

samsAram ( thvarayA paryasyamAnAn padhaviparAgAn

bhava ambhudhim paathum pravrutthAn iva pasyAmi)..(V.S).

Namaskars,

 

Are there any Sanskrit exams like what we have in

hindi ( Praathmik, madhyama, Rashtrabhaasha)? if so

can one learn sanskrit , through correspondence course

, and appear for the tests? AdiyEn would like to know

about this. Please enlighten me.

 

AdiyEn,

Aravind Gopalan.

Dear Members,

 

I have written an detailed article titled 'Excellence of SrI PAncharAthra

Agama - The "Bhagavath-SAstra" '; The MS Word document of the same can be

read by clicking the following link:

bhakti-listPancharatra.doc

 

"pancharAthrasya kruthsnasya vakthA nArAyaNa: swayam"=20

 

SrI PAncharAthra Agama is authored by SrIman NArAyaNa:. Its name "Bhagavath

SAstra" denotes this aspect. It is therefore "powrushEya" scripture. It is =

a

SrI VaishNava Agama SAstra. It has several books named Samhitas. Of these

Samhitas, the SAthvatha Samhita, Powshkara Samhita and JayAkya Samhitha are

considered very sacred as they are directly reveled by SrIman NArAyaNa:. Th=

e

essence of VEda has been lively presented concisely in the texts of this

Agama. Its validity as pramANa (source of knowledge) is questioned from

various angles and various serious doubts are raised in this context. Many

pUrva-pakshams (opponent views) in the same context are critically analyzed

and they are refuted using pramANam and pramANAnuguNa tarkam. Apart from th=

e

points present in the SrI BhAshyam (Bhagavath RAmAnuja YatirAja swAmi) in t=

his

context, wonderful arguments and counter-arguments from Bhagavath SAstra

virOdha bhangAdhikAram in Para-matha-bhanga-grantam (SrIman NigamAntha mahA

DESika swAmi) are presented in this article. Although Aagama-prAmANyam of

Bhagavath YAmunAchArya and SrI PancharAthra Raksha of SwAmi DESika are not

referred in this article, the points from Para-matha-bhanga-grantam cover e=

ven

such complicated points in an easier manner. Further, the preeminent

commentary titled "anapAya-prabhA" on para-matha-bhanga-grantham by SrImath

U.Ve vidwAn UththamUr tirumalai nallAn chakravarthy abhinava dESika

VirarAghavAchArya swAmy is comprehensively referred in this article as far =

as

the Bhagavath SAstra virOdha bhangAdhikAram is concerned. With an outline o=
