Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:

 

278. krupAvishEShAth kshamayA samEthAm

pravarthamAnAm jagathO viBhUthyaI

avaImi nithyam maNipAdhukE! thvAm

AkasmikIm rangapathE: prasatthim

 

Oh Manipaaduka! I identify You with the Lord Ranganatha's benevolent

grace, which is induced by Mahalakshmi's special kindness and is

enhanced by Bhoomi Devi, which grace flows for the world's beautiful

flowering, for reasons that can never be assigned-that is ever

present in Your role.

 

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

 

Special Notes by V.SatakOpan(V.S):

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

 

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Gem-studded

PaadhukE! adiyEn recognizes You as the fruit of

Sri RanganAthA's unexpected grace rushing towards us

all with great speed. As a result of the Lord's

inifnite compassion , You came to this earth and move

about with patience to bless every one.Here , Swamy

Desikan hints that the Lord's grace and that of

the Paadhukai is one and the same and points out

that the earth is blessed , when it has the sambhandham of

the Lord's Paadhukai. Swamy Desikan celebrates here

the Sri RanganAthA's incarnations and the soulabhyam

(ease of access by one and all ) of the Paadhukai .

 

(2)Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! When we

see Your sanchArams (movements) , it becomes clear to us

that You are the embodiment of the causeless dayaa of

the Lord that descended on this earth for

the benevolence of the universe.

 

(3)Swamy Desikan equates the spontaneous and

causeless ( aakasmikIm ) DayA(prasatthim) of

the Paadhukai during its sanchArams with

the svAbhAvika dayA of the Lord .The Paadhukai

does the sanchAram for enhancing the isvaryam

(vibhUthi) of the world and its beings . The inner

meaning according to Srimath Andavan is that PerumAL's

concern for the well being of the world resulted

in the incarnation of AzhwAr (sataari Soori) on

this earth..V.S
