Guest guest Posted May 7, 2001 Report Share Posted May 7, 2001 Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 372. thaThAgathA rAghavapAdharakshE! sampashyamAnEShu thapODhanEShu AsIdhahalyA thava pAmsulEshaI: apAmsulAnAm svayamagragaNyA Oh Rama-paaduka! Even that Ahalya was, by the contact with a few particles of Your dust, able to attain, even as many great sages were watching, a first rank among taintless women *(Pativratas). The pativratas are listed as Ahalya, Draupadi, Sita, Tara and Mandodari. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.SatakOpan (V.S): SlOkm 372 ********************************************** (1)Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Raaghava PaadhukE! The dust arising from Your movement fell on AhalyA and transformed her from a sinner to that of the foremost among the chaste women of the world. That happened as AhalyA and the sages of SiddhAsramam were watching. Right in front of their eyes ,You accomplished this transformation. (2)Srimath Andvan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that SadAchAryanugraham will make even a MahA Paapi to be accepted by mahAns and turn into one of thos noble souls. (3)Swamy Desikan states that a small speck of dust associated with the Paadhukai transformed Ahalya from her stone form into a PathivrathA siRomaNi( tava paamsulEsai: apAmsulAnam svayam agragaNyA aaseeth) right in front of the eyes of the sages of SiddhAsramam (tapOdhanEshu SampasyamAnEshu sathsu)..(V.S).
