Padhuka Sahasram-476

Sri:

 

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

 

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

 

476. svEShu svEShu padhEShu kim niyamayasyaShtoU dhishAmIshvarAn

svaIrAlApakaThA: pravarthayasi kim thrayyA sahAsInayA

rangEshasya samasthalOkamahitham prApthA padhAmBhOruham

mA BhaIShIrithi mAmudhIrayasi vA manjusvanaI: pAdhukE!

 

Oh Paaduka! Your sweet Nada I hear and I recall and what, I wonder is

its meaning! Do You instruct after stationing them in their

respective seats of Ashta-dik-palakas-guardians of the eight

directions? Do You engage Yourself in free exchange of ideas with the

Veda-damsels, Your colleagues seated near the Lord's Feet-[as

declared in the Veda-"sarve veda yat padam aamananti"]-with

enjoyable delectation? Or perhaps do You assure, "Aye do not fear"!

 

Namo Narayana,

 

SriMuralidhara Dasan

 

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

 

SlOkam 476:

 

(1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! Your naadham establishes

the eight Lords of directions in their allocated places and protects

them . Your naadham emanates as a result of the movement of Your

Lord's feet , which are celebrated in all the universes. Your naadham

finds the three VedAs at those holy feet and engages in an intimate

conversation with the Vedaas . Your naadham also seems to address me

and asks me not to be afraid of worldly sorrows. Indeed Your naadham

accomplishes many things.

 

(2) Oh PaadhukE ! You have joined the sacred feet of Lord RanganAthA ,

Which are celebrated by the whole world ( PaadhukE ! Thvam

SamasthalOka mahitham RangEsasya padhAmbhOruham prApthA ). You are

raising sweet Sounds as You transport your Lord . Those sounds seem

to say three things:

(a) Your sounds seem to establish the Lords of 8 directions in their

respective places ( ashtou disAm IsvarAn svEshu svEshu padhEshu

niyamasi iva) ;

(b) Your sounds seem to be conversing sweetly with the three vedAs

seated next to you at the Lord's feet ( Saha aasInayA thrayaa

svairAlapa kaTA )

© Your naadham seems to say to me : " Do not be afraid " (maam maa

bhaishI: ithi udhIrayasi vaa?)… (V.S).
