Guest guest Posted March 24, 2000 Report Share Posted March 24, 2000 Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 178. anitharavahanIyam manthrimuKhyaIryadhA thath thvayi vinihithamAsIth sUryavamshADhirAjyam raGhupathipadharakshE! rathnapITE tadhAnIm shriyamiva dhadhrushusthvAm sAdharam lOkapAla: Oh Paaduka! You reigned as the Empress of the throne of the Solar Dynasty, which cannot be managed by anyone else. When the chief advisors enthroned You, the Devas guarding over the eight directions, worshipped You as they would Sri Mahalakshmi. Thus You are the veritable Lakshmi! Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): *********************************** (1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Here, Swamy Desikan salutes the Lord's Paadhukai as Soorya Vamsa Raaja Lakshmi. He points out that the Lords of the eight directions (dhig PaalakAs) recognized this principle behind the Paadhukai.He says that they recognized You as PaadhukA Lakshmi protecting the wealth of Soorya Vamsam. Swamy Desikan hints that Soorya Vamsa Raaja Lakshmi will stay in the kingdom as long as the PaadhukAs sat on the throne as the representative of Lord RaamachandrA . (2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam :Oh Raghupathi PaadhukE ! When the kingdom of KosalA could not be ruled even by wise ministers like Sumanthrar , You accepted the royal duties in the name of Your Lord and sat on the throne of the Raghus. The kings of the earth and the Lords of the eight directions saw You then as saakshAth MahA Lakshmi .The inner meaning is that the SadhAchAryan appears to the devout sishyan as the embodiment of Jn~Anam, anushtAnam , VairAgyam , KshamA and dayA . Mahaa Lakshmi indeed incarnates as SadhAchAryALs. (3)Swamy Desikan says here that the weight of the solar dynasty could not be borne even by the key ministers like Sumanthrar ( SooryavamsAdhi- raajyam manthri mukyai: anitharavahaneeyam ); then , PaadhukA took over that burden of ruling the kingdom and sat on the throne of the kings of the solar race. At that time ,The dhigpaalakAs worshipped with ardour the Paadhukai seatd on the gem-studded throne of Raghus as MahA Lakshmi Herself ( LokapAlA: thvAm rathnapeeDE Sriyamiva saadharam dadhrusu:)...V.S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 24, 2000 Report Share Posted March 24, 2000 Dear bhaktas: I had been reading the continuous postings of Sri. Muralidhar Rangaswamy and Sri. Sadagopan on the paaduka sahasram translation/interpretation all these days, but this particular passage stirred my sentiments - the kind of thing which makes the " hair stand on end " . Reading about our Swami Desikan's prayers to the SriRaghavapaduka and Desikar's reference here to " her " as the queen of the Ikshvaku clan, and the empress of the eight octants!! - very moving and very charming, indeed. May the twin efforts of Sri. Muralidhar and Sri. Sadagopan continue unabated, to bring out these crown jewels of our sampradayam in a language we all can understand. aDiyEn, -Srinath C. email: xsrinath > 178. anitharavahanIyam manthrimuKhyaIryadhA thath > thvayi vinihithamAsIth sUryavamshADhirAjyam > raGhupathipadharakshE! rathnapITE tadhAnIm > shriyamiva dhadhrushusthvAm sAdharam lOkapAla: > > Oh Paaduka!

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2000 Report Share Posted March 25, 2000 Dear Bhagavatas, I wish to endorse the opinions stated more than once by Sri Chakravarty. These postings have kept up adiyen's spirits as he flows along with the tide of life as well as kainkaryam. They are a refreshing breath of fresh air, everytime adiyen has given into worrying and other symptoms associated with lowkika life and have kept adiyen cheerful. These have also reinforced upanyaasams heard or read in the past and bring them to the front burner. adiyen is eternally grateful to Sri Rangaswamy and Sri Sadagopan for this kainkaryam. adiyen Ramanuja daasan, jagan. >Dear bhaktas: > >I had been reading the continuous postings of Sri.
