MalOla PaadhukA Vandhanam

[Guest guest]

Dear BhakthAs:

 

Srimadh Azhagiya Singhar , the revered PeetAdhipathi

of AhObila Matam is saluted as the MalOla PaddhukA

dhivya Sevakar or the One who performs AarAdhanam

for the sacred Paadhukais of Sri Lakshmi Narasimhan .

 

During the occasion of the MahA samprOkshanam

of Sri RanganAthA temple built at the command of

the 44th Pattam HH Srimath MukkUr Azhagiya Singar ,

adiyEn wants to have a samarpaNam of a krithi

eulogizing MalOla PaadhukAs. There are some plans

to recite Sri RanganAtha PaadhukA sahasram at

the MahA SamprOkshaNam ceremonies . This krithi

is intended for this occasion to offer our

salutations to the paadhukAs of MalOlan .

(meaning ): adiyEn takes refuge at the divine PaadhukAs

of MaalOlan of AhObilam . They are worshipped by great

Yogis adorning the throne of AhObila Matam for more

than six centuries. They bless one with all one wants

in this and the other world. They are special and celebrated.

They are worshipped by all the DevAs and are lofty regarding

their Vaibhavam. They are the twin wives of the Lord and

help Him perform His dharmam of Saadhu Jana rakshaNam

and Dhushta Nigraham . They have the fragrance of Swamy

NammAzhwAr's VaguLa pushpa garland and have unrestricted

sanchAram with their Lord in all the three worlds.They are

eulogized by the assembly of VedAs and are enchantingly

beautiful during each moment of sanchAram . They are

blemishless, eternal and very sacred.It is rich with

auspicous attributes and have indescribale Vaibhavam.

They are the targets of the KaruNA KatAksham of

MahA Lakshmi and BhUmi Piraatti always. They have

the fragrance of the VedAs and the radiance of

newly melted gold.

 

Some of the salutations of Swamy Desikan about

the Sri RanganAtha Ppadhukais have been woven into

the text of the Krithi for auspiciousness

to those who set this krithi to Music with taaLam

and those who listen to this krithi offered with

humility at the sacred feet of MaalOlan .
