Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 364. mUrDhAnamamba! muraBhinmaNipAdharakshE! yEShAm kadhApi rajasA BhavathI punAthi thvAmEva thE sukruthina: snapayanthi kAlE mandhAradhAmarajasA mukutachyuthEna Oh Manipaaduka! It is enough that You make the heads of people pure with Your dust, only once. Those fortunate people, in course of time, will be previleged to perform powder-ablution on You with the Mandara- flower-dust falling from their crowns, they now being Devas! (Mandara is a divine flower) Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.SatakOpan(V.S): SlOkam 364 ********************************************** (1)Oh PaadhukE! Whoever wears the dust specks associated with You on their heads even occasionally reach the status of DevAs at the end of their earthly lives.Their good fortune permits them to wear mandArA flower garlands around their bejewelled crowns in the world of DevAs.They do not forget Your blessings that made it possible for them to reach such a high status. They prostrate before You and the pollen from the MandhArA flowers adorning their crowns fall on You and appear to bathe You in them . (2)Here , Swamy Desikan is reminded of the compassion/Dayaa of the Holy Paadhukais and addresses them as " Ambhaa " . He salutes the bhAgyasAlis , who have the food fortune to wear the PaadhukA rENu on their heads as " Sukruthina: " . They attain dEva Padham and later during their prostrations before the Paadhukais perform Thirumanjanam to them with the pollen dust from the mandhAra Maalais adorning their crowned heads (MandhAradhAma rajasA thvAmEva snapayanthi)..(V.S) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
