Those sages with sharp intellect abandon the pursuit of wealth , perform penance and search for the holy feet of the Lord hidden by Your power. Those holy feet of the Lord are normally found through the tradition of the study of VedAs. These sages worship you without interruption and as a direct result are able to discover that golden treasure ,the Lord's sacred feet without following the traditional routes . (2)Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukhE ! Those who understand clearly the svarupams of JeevAthmA and ParamaathmA control their mind and meditate on the object of eulogy by the VedAs , Your Lord wearing You on His lotus feet . The inner meaning is that those who comprehend precisely the svarUpams of JevAthmA and ParamAthmA meditate on the AchAryAs and PerumAL. (3)The way of the Aathmavidha: ( those who are knowledgable about the Aathma SvarUpam) is described here.What do they do? They meditate on the treasure hidden in the mountain of VedAs, PerumAL , whose feet are protected with pride by the Paadhukhais. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
