Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 913. surAsurArchithA DhanyA thungamangaLapAlikA charAcharashrithA mAnyA rangapungavapAdhukA Ranganatha-Paaduka possesses an affluence extraordinary-i.e., the affluence meant by service to the Lord. Devas and Asuras pay homage to it. Paaduka is also capable of safe-guarding our things auspicious. All movables and immovables cling to it. The Paaduka is worshippable to all. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S) ******************************************* SlOkam 913 : Seven verses of SrI RanganAtha PaadhukA Sahasram have been identified by our AchAryAs for worship on the seven days of the week by the ladies of the house to bring auspiciousness to their families. This verse has been identified for worship on THURSDAYS . Ladies should draw the Dhvichatushkara Chakra Bandham formed by three circles and two squres with Lord RanganAthA's Paadhukais at the epi-center . Between the 2nd and the innermost circle , the two intersecting squares are found in this Bhandham. This slOkam should be recited in front of that yanthram (kOlam) with bhakthi, while meditaing on the glories of the Lord's Paadhukais. This chithra slOkam ( 913) is set in a pattern (Bhandham) known as gOmoothrikA Bhandham . There are 32 letters in this verse starting with "Su " and ending with "kaa". The first and second lines have a symmetry of 16 letters. There is a pattern of relationship between the individual letters in the first and the second lines. The genius of Swamy Desikan in creating symmetries and echos of sounds is abundantly displayed here.The split of the 16 letters in each of the two lines and their sound symmetries to yield the gOmuthrikA Bhandham is shown below. Each letter in DevanAgari aksharam has to be put in 16 squares for the two lines to fully appreciate the genius of our AchAryan to generate pleasing acoustic echos & lofty meanings : Su--raa--su---- raa---archi-thaa dha-nyaa tu--nga ma-nga-La paa- li-kaa cha-raa--cha--raa----asri-thaa maa-nyaa Ra-nga pu-nga--va paa- dhu-kaa 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh RanganAtha PaadhukE ! Thou art worshipped by the DevAs and their cousins , the asurAs . Thus worshipped, You (the PaadhukAs) protect all auspiciousness in the world and are honored for that upakAram . You (The PaadhukAs) have the distinct feature of housing all the sentient and insentient beings and perform that noble duty of protecting the auspiciousness . 2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:The PaadhukAs are worshipped by the chieftains among the DevAs and AsurAs. They confer on them KshEmam . They are full of Iswaryam and blesses those , who seek refuge with all auspiciousness. When one views the chara and achara roopams on the PaadhukAs painted for decoration purposes, one is reminded of the Viswa roopam of the Lord, where He protects all the worlds ( Sentients and insentients ) by keeping them in His body. The PaadhukAs of the Lord of SrIrangam is equivalent to Him in all aspects and are celebrated by the world for these glories. 3) The Lord's PaadhukAs are worshipped by both DevAs and AsurAs( SurAsurArchitha). It has the bhAgyam of joining with the Lord's sacred feet , serves Him and enjoys Him through that kaimkaryam and becomes "DhanyA ". It protects all auspicousness that are at the top ( Tunga MangaLa pAlikA). The PaadhukAs are sought as refuge by all chEthnams and achEthanams ( present on them as carved images) : " CharAchara aasrithA ". These PaadhukAs of Lord RanganAthA are celebrated by one and all for these reasons ( Ranga Pungava PaadhukA maanyA ) ....(V.S). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
