Guest guest Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 750. prajvalithapanchahEthirhiraNmayIm thvAm hiraNyavilayArha: Avahathu jAthavEdhA: shriyamiva na: pAdhukE! nithyam Oh Paaduka! May Agni, of five flames, who will melt gold, called Jatavedah, grant us, ever too, the great gift of YOURSELF, (Gold Paaduka) as SRI! May the Lord-for whose praise the Vedas were born and so who is designated as Jatavedah-who has five-fold armoury, who once killed HiraNya (meaning gold) grant us 'Sri' of Paaduka at all times! Paaduka is the greatest SRI! (Agni is said to have seven flames, two of which are in the South and North-east, being inauspicious, being of maledictory significance. Hence five flames only are reckoned. Also recall Srisookta which prescribes praying to Fire to grant gold-coloured Lakshmi. The Vedic Trinity is declared immortal Sri. That Sri is also sought, Paaduka being equivalent to the Vedas). Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
