Guest guest Posted October 10, 1999 Report Share Posted October 10, 1999 SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation of Paaduka Sahasram by U.Ve. Sri V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 82.biBharShi Nithyam MaNipAdhukE! thvam vishvamBharam DhAma nijEna BhUmnA thavAnuBhAvashchuLakIkruthOyam BhaktaIrajasram BhavatIm dhaDhAnaI: Oh Paaduka! You permanently bear the Lord (who Himself bears all the worlds) by Your intrinsic greatness; but then this greatness is a moiety-a palmful- compared to the greatness the devotees acquire by reason of their bearing You on their heads! Note: This is not belittling the Paaduka by any stretch of imaination even. Bhaktas derive their greatness now only from Paaduka. They are more praiseworthy. That is the implication here.
