Sri:

 

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

 

Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:

 

795. apraBhUthamaBhavajjagathrayam yasya mAthumudhithasya pAdhukE!

apramEyamamithasya thathpadham nithyamEva nanu sammitham thvayA

 

Oh Paaduka! When the Lord in Trivikrama incarnation, sent one foot up

to scale all the worlds, all the three worlds could not equal that

one foot. The foot of inestimable magnitude, of the infinite-sized

Lord, was and is correctly encompassed by You. You fit in well to the

foot. You correctly measured the Foot!

 

Namo Narayana,

 

SriMuralidhara Dasan

 

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):

 

SlOkam 795

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Here, Swamy Desikan answers

the question whether the Lord's holy feet are equal in glory to the

PaadhukAs or vice-versa. He settles in favor of PaadhukAs being

slightly superior in glory to the Lord's holy feet . He says: " As

the Lord's feet grew and enveloped the three world's during

Trivikrama incarnation , You measured and covered

the feet of the Lord , which can not be measured or described easily

by anyone. Such is Your glory ! Swamy Desikan states that the

PaadhukAs did not fall one step behind the growing feet of

ThrivikramA and provided the exact fit in real time.

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Paadhukais' sannivEsam (form) is like

the Lord's Thiruvadi. The universes were not sufficent for the Lord's

Thiruvadis to measure during ThrivikramAvathAram. You measured those

Thiruvadis that can not be measured by any one. The Bhagavath

svaroopam of the Lord not comprehended even by Brahma and Rudra is

understood by the AchAryAs( PaadhukAs).

 

3)When Lord took ThrivikramAvathAram and starte to measure the

universes, there was not enough for His ThituvadigaL to measure (

Jagadh Thrayam maathum Yasya Thrivikramasya Jagadh aprabhUtham

abhavath). Those ThiruvadigaL can not be neasured by any vasthu (

amithasya apramEyam Tath Padham). Oh PaadhukE! Those Thiruvadis were

measured always by You ( apramEyam Padham ThvayA nithyamEva

sammitham)..(V.S).
