Guest guest Posted January 22, 2001 Report Share Posted January 22, 2001 Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 332. vandhAruBhi: suragaNaisthvayi samprayukthA mAlA viBhAthi maDhusUdhanapAdharakshE! vikrAnthaviShNupadhasamshrayabaDdhasaKhyA BhAgIraThIva pariramBaNakAnkshiNI thE Oh Paaduka! The Devas have placed a garland of flowers in the process of paying a respectful homage. This becomes equivalent to Ganga in that it goes above to establish contact and kinship with the Feet and then embraces You! Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.SatakOpan(V.S): SlOkam 332 ********************************************** (1) Abhinava Desikan's anubhavam: Oh Madhusoodhana PaadhukE! The dEvAs worshipping You bring beautiful flower garlands and place it with reverence at Your feet.Since those garlands are associated with Your Lord's feet as a result of being inside You , they develop intimate friendship with river GangA , which originated from the same lotus feet of Your Lord. It appears as though the DevA's flower garlands are embracing gangA , when they rest on You. Swamy Desikan hints here that those , who are attached to the Lord's feet will have tremendous affection for each other. Hence , He says that GangA and PaadhukAs display lasting friendship and demonstrate their special affection through their embrace. (2)DevA's offer with reverence white Jaathi Mallikai Pushpa Maalai( VandhArubhi: suraganai: samprayukthA MaalA ). The sacred river GangA is flowing from the Thiruvadi of the Lord , who took ThrivikramAvathAram and She hugs the white flower garlands (VikrAntha VishNu Padha samsraya Bhaddha sakhyA BhAgIrathi , tE pariramBhana KaankshiNI iva vibhAthi)...V.S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
