Padhuka Sahasram-93

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

 

Dear Bhaktas,

 

Adiyen wishes to add the following to Sri Sadagopan Swamin's insightful

observations. " Ma " denotes the Ekaksharam for Piratti. As a result of

Her eternal oneness with the Lord, He begets the name Madhavan. The

Divine Couple together perform the Yajnam of protecting Prapannas and

granting them Moksham. Therefore, the term Madhava PaadhukhE is used to

reverentially describe this act of compassion by the Divya Dampatis.

 

Namo Narayana,

 

Adiyen,

NOTES BY V.SADAGOPAN(V.S):

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

 

(1)Utthamur Swamy's anubhavam:Oh Maadhava PaadhukE !

Those who place You on their heads become qualified to

attain the positions (Pattams) of Brahmaa and Rudraa.

Those blessed souls are carried by the Swan shining like

the autumnal moon and Nandhi DevA , the white bull resplendent

like the peaks of Mount Kailaasam respectively. Oh PaadhukhE !

Your glory and far reaching powers are such that those who

adorn You on their heads achieve the status of the riders of

the Swan and the Bull .

 

(2)Srimath Andavaan's anubhavaam: The inner meaning is that

those who have deep AchArya Bhakthi will gain Brahma and

Siva pattams readily. When Moksha Siddhi can be obtained

from such profound AchArya Bhakthi , there is nothing surprising

about qualifying for lesser siddhis like the positions of

BrahmA and SivA .

 

(3) Swamy Desikan's choice of the namaskAram to

the Lord's Paadhukhai here as " Maadhava PaadhukhE " is

suggestive of the topic of this slOkam (Viz).,Moksham .

Only Maadhavan can grant Moksham .Hence , Swamy Desikan

addresses the Paadhukhais reverentially as " Maadhava

PaadhukhE " .....V.S
