Translation of Paaduka Sahasram by U.Ve. Sri V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin

Oh Ranganatha-Paaduka! Even those who are only a little conversant

with the Vedas are able to see that You are the subject of praise in

the Vedas. This is possible for ordinary men to realize because Srimad

RamayaNam becomes the acceptable authority for your greatness, which

(Ramayana) was composed only to expound the essential thrust of the

Vedas.

NOTES BY V.SADAGOPAN (V.S):

****************************

 

(1)UttamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh RangEsa PaadhukhE !

People with limited familiartity with VedAs get a hint of

your auspicious attributes with the help of the Adhikavi,

Sri Valmiki; he took upon himself to elaborate on the brief

statements of the VedAs on Your glory and helped one and all

to understand Your majesty and power. VedAs themselves are

indeed the prime source(pramANam) for describing Your glory .

 

(2) Andavan Anubhavam: Oh Ranganaatha paadhukhE !Vedic scholars

can easily relate to the sections in the VedAs , where Your glories

are being celebrated .Even ordinary folks unfamiliar with the VedAs

guess readily that Your glories are celebrated in the VedAs .

This is because of the kaimkaryam of Sage ValmIki , who has

elaborated the VedArthams realted to Your glories in his epic ,

Srimath RaamAyaNam .

 

(3) In the AyOdhyA KhAndham of Srimath RaamAyaNam ,

BharathA put the Sri Raama PaadhukhAs on his head

and declared " yEthEhi sarvalOkasya yOgakshEmam vidhAsyatha: "

(Your sacred sandals will look after the safety

and well being of the whole world ;they will provide

for the needs of all people and protect them ).

Kampa NaatAzhwAr in his Kampa RaamAyaNam followed

the foot steps of Sage Valmiki echoes the same thoughts ,

while describing the moving request of Bharathan to

his brother to bless him with His sacred sandals

(AyOdhyAKhAndham-Paasuram 1191):

 

" semmayin Thiruvadit thalam tandheeha

yemmayum taruvana irandum nalhinAn "

 

( Oh RamachandrA ! Please give me with

Your sweet blessings Your PaadhukhAs !

Sri Ramachandran acceded to that request and

blessed his dear brother Bharathan with

the PaadhukhAs , which yield all types of

auspicousness).... V.S
