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

Oh Paaduka! Or is that Nada coming from You, the sound of the three

samas, that take to Srivaikunta, a soul, a great sage, who has

employed the Pranava in a three-measure-manner for meditating on the

Supreme Person, that reclines in our hearts, for reaching Him?

 

Namo Narayana,

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):

 

1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Here, Swamy Desikan describes the

PaadhukA naadham as the intoxicating sound of Saama Vedham. Swamy

Desikan says: " Oh RanganAtha PaadhukE ! Your Lord , who exists with

equal ease as ParavAsudEvan in His supreme abode , antharyAmi inside

our heart lotuses and as RanganAthA inside PraNavAkAra Vimaanam at

Srirangam sought after by Yogis. The Yogis recite PraNavam with all

its parts and meditate on it to attain Him. Your naadham is

recognized by them as Saama vedhic recitation that leads them to your

Lord's abode in Srivaikuntam .

 

2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that we can

reach BhagavAn , if we listen with devotion to ThiruvAimozhi , the

essence of Saama Vedham . Meditation on PraNavam and recitation of

PraNavam is considered as equivalent to journeying to Srivaikuntam to

the accompaniment of Saama ghAnam .

 

3) What is the way to reach the Lord , who resides in our hearts

(Parisayam Purusham )? Recitation of PraNavam (ThrimAthram) and

meditation on its meaning would lead the Yogis to the Lord with the

accompaniment of saama ghOsham ( ThrimAthram PraNavam anudhinam

abhyasyathAm MuninAm Samunnayana Saama-visEsha GhOsham ).
