Guest guest Posted January 24, 2002 Report Share Posted January 24, 2002 Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 502. AskandhanAni vibhuDhEndhrashiKhAmaNInAm thvAmAshrithAnyasurasUdhanApAdharakshE! rathnAni thE sthuthisuvarNaparIkshaNArThE nUnam Bhajanthi nikaShOpalathAm kavInAm Oh Paaduka of the Destroyer of th Asuras! When Deva chiefs bow, the gems on You stamp on those of their crowns. Your gems are evidently superior. Indeed they serve as the touchstone for assession the purity (of gold as well as of a hymn and its alphabets). Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes from V.SatakOpan (V.S): Slokam 502: 1) UthtamUr Swamy's anubhavam:Oh Paadhukai of the Lord destroying asuras! When Devas wear You on their heads , the gems adorning You sit over the gems enmeshed in their crowns. Your gems are far more precious than the ones adorning the crowns of Devas. Hence I consider that poetic works praising You are far superior to the sthuthis on the Devas. This superiority is for two reasons: one, the touchstone will authentically prove the superiority of the gems found on You compared to those found on the crowns of the Devas. Second, there are many kinds of eulogies included in my PaadhukA Sahasram such as Rathna SaamAnyam , Bahu Rathnam , PadmarAgam , Pearl , Indraneelam , Maragatham et al . The sthuthi on the Devas is only of one kind. Hence my sthuthi of You has the most incomparable lustre. 2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! The splendid gems adorning Your external surface attract the gems positioned on the crowns of the DevAs (i.e).,the DevAs rush to the side of the PaadhukAs for offering their salutations and sthuthi. How can one know whether their eulogies are auspicous or not? The gems on Your external surfaces serve as the inspecting stone ( urai kall). The inner meaning is that the sthuthis about PerumAL and AchAryAs yield MangaLam. Others about kings and humans are inauspicious to the eulogizer and the eulogized. 3) Oh PaadhukE ! The gems on You pull the DevAs wearing gem-studded crowns to Your side( VibhudhEndhra SikhA maNInAm ThvAm aaskandhanAni). There are gems that are adorning Your external surface ( ThvAm aasrithAni RathnAni) that perform a duty. They sit in judgement over the quality of Sthuthis by the DevAs and other poets engaged in different types of eulogies and in this regard attain the status of urai kall to judge the auspiciousness of individual efforts ( parIshaNArTE nikashOpalathAm bhajanthi)..

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2002 Report Share Posted January 24, 2002 Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Dear Sriman Anbil Swamin, Thank you very much for your kind note. It is the Divine Grace of Swami Desikan and Swami NammAzhwar that causes you to shower your compliments on adiyen's aNil sevai. Adiyen is merely serving as a conduit in this task. On the other hand the mahima of the Padhukas and Swami Desikan is so great that even adiyen, who merely performs a copy and paste job, is elevated!
