Guest guest Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 732. maDhujiththanukAnthithaskarANAm jaladhAnAmaBhayam viDhAthukAmA chapalEva thadhamGhrimAshrayanthI BhavathI kAnchanapAdhukE! viBhAthi Oh Gold Paaduka! The clouds had ostensibly stolen the complexion from the Lord; perhaps they sent You to plead with the Lord and afford safety for the clouds. On such a mission the lightning sent had remained as gold Paaduka at the Lord's Feet, I conjecture! Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): SlOkam 732 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Golden PaadhukE! You appear like the golden lightning that has arrived at the Lord's feet to beg the Lord to forgive the clouds that stole the bluish-black lustre of His. Swamy Desikan imagines why the PaadhukAs appear like a bolt of lightning at the Lord's feet. He says that the Paadhukais have taken that color and form (of the lightning) to plead on behalf of the clouds of the rainy season that stole the unique lustre of the Lord. 2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! When one experiences your extraordinary lustre, one is reminded of the golden-hued lightning. The lightning normally resides inside the rainy clouds.Why should it be seen now at the Thiruvadi of the Lord ? The lightning is considered as the wife of the rainy cloud, which stole the beautiful color of the Lord.The lightning appears to have arrived at the Lord's Thiruvadi to plead forgiveness for her husband's apachAram to the Lord. 3)The rainy clouds have acquired the dark bluish hue through the act of stealing of the Lord's hue ( Madhujith Tanu kAnthi taskaranam). Those bluish-black rain-laden clouds want to be free from the fear of punishment from the Lord for their daring act of stealing of the kAnthi of the Lord ( JaladhAnAm abhayam vidhAthukAmA ). Who is going to interced with the Lord and beg Him not to be angry at the Cloud? It is only the wife of the cloud, the lightning that is going to do it by firmly holding on to the feet of the merciful Lord ( Abhayam vidhAthukAmA Tadhangrim aasrayanthee Chapalaa). Oh Golden PaadhukE! You shine like that golden lightning ( Thvam ChapalEva vibhAthi)..(V.S). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
