Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 69. dvithayam prathiyanthi rangaBharthu: kathichith kAnchanapAdhukE! SharaNyam ABhayAvithamagrimam karam vA BhavathIshEKharitham padAmbhujam vA Oh Paaduka! Some declare as our refuge, for sure protection, the Abhaya-hastha of the Lord or His lotus feet, borne by You on Your head! Namo Narayana, Adiyen,SriMuralidhara Dasan NOTES BY V.SADAGOPAN(V.S): *************************** 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Oh Lord RanganAthA's golden PaadhukhE ! Some opine two items as symbols of Your Lord's protection.One is His abhaya MudhrA assuring freedom from any fear for those , who seek refuge in Your Lord. The other is the Lord's lotus Feet standing as it were decorated by You, the Paadhukhai ! 2) Srimadh Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukhE ! MahAns worship the abhaya hastham of Your Lord and His sacred feet protected by You as the pair to gain salvation and spend their lives as PrapannAs without worry. These MahA PuNyasAlis believe that AzhwAr's and SadAchAryA's kataksham as the prerequisite for gaining the boon of Moksham from Your Lord and therefore seek refuge in You. 3) The twins that relieve the anxieties of the puNyasAlis are: " abhayAnvitham-agrimam karam and BhavathI sEkaritham PadhAmbhujam " .Oh PaadhukhE !One of them is the uplifted, forward-moving hastham of Your Lord and the other is Yourself serving as the decoration for the Lotus feet of Your Lord...V.S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
