Guest guest Posted October 24, 2002 Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 626. shivathvahEthum sakalasya janthO: srOthOvishEShaI: suBhagAmasanKhyaI: mukthAmayUKhaI: surasinDhumanyAm puShNAsi rangEshvarapAdhukE! thvam Oh Paaduka! (The Ganga that flowed from the Lord's Feet once, made Rudra, 'Siva'). The pearl-rays from You, constitute so many branches of a new Ganga, that confers 'Sivatva' sanctity and auspiciousness on all creatures. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): SlOkam 626 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Ranganatha PaadhukE! You are the cause for auspiciousness for all the lving beings and that is due to the countless divisions of the flow of the lustre from Your pearls. This flood of lustre looks like a mighty river with many branches. Your conferral of Sivathvam (auspiciousness) on so many makes You more famous than the river Ganga . (Rudra became Siva /auspicious and attained Sivathvam by housing Ganga in His matted locks. Swamy Desikan reasons that Ganga made only Rudra attain Sivathvam in contrast to the pearls of PaadhukAs that confer Sivathvam to countless number of living beings.
