Padhuka Sahasram-384

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

 

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

 

384. svadhathE kimihaIva ranganAThO

mayi thiShTan yadhi vA padhE parasmin

ithi prucChasi dhEvi!nUnamasmAn

maDhuraIsthvam maNipAdhukE! ninAdhaI:

 

Oh Paaduka Devi! Evidently, You are putting to us a query, in Your

sweet tone; "Is Ranganatha, while on me, in this material-packed

world enjoyable and enjoying Himself, or is He better in Paramapada?

 

(Our answer would naturally be "Here"! Because this melodious music

of the Paaduka could be heard by the Nityasooris too; all can enjoy

this! If in Paramapada, we humans cannot hear and enjoy)

 

Namo Narayana,

 

SriMuralidhara Dasan

 

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

 

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Mani paadhukE! The Naadahm

arising from You seem to query us about our opinion on our enjoyment

of RanganAthan in Union with You. Your sweet sounds seem to ask us

whether we prefer the enjoyment of RanganAthan in union with You here

at Srirangam or in His Supreme Abode at Sri Vaikuntam.

 

(2) The madhura ninAdhams ( sweet sounds) of Paadhukais seem to poll

us about our opinions as to which aspect we enjoy the most : (a) His

presence under Ranga vimAnam without adorning me or (b) his presence

in a state of union with me during His sanchArams or © His state of

presence at Parama Padham (ihaiva thishtan svadatE kim? Yathi vaa

mayi thishtan ? Yathi vaa Parasmin padhE thishtam svadatE kim ?)

….V.S

Ramanuja as parama-yogin

At the beginning of his Srutaprakasika commentary on the Sribhashya, Sri

Sudarsana Suri gives praise to Bhagavad Ramanuja in the following words:

 

tasmai raamaanujaaryaaya nama.h parama-yogine ...

 

I would like to know if there are other traditional eulogies on Ramanuja

using the words yoga or yogin. (I am familiar with the one or two instances

in Swami Desika's Yatirajasaptati.) If you are aware of any such stanzas, I

would be very grateful to learn about them.

 

Ramanuja Dasa,

M. Gansten

Dear Martin,

 

Yes, there are other references to Ramanuja as a yogi.

The one that immediately comes to mind is the

Sloka-guruparamparA which is recited daily:

 

asmad deSikam asmadIya paramAcAryAn aSeshAn gurUn

SrImal lakshmaNa-yogi-pungava-mahApUrNau munim yAmunam |
