Padhuka Sahasram-810

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

 

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

 

 

810. praThamA kalEva BhavathI charaNAvani! BhAthi rangachandhramasa:

shrungOnnathiriva yathra shriyam viBhAvayathi yanthrikAyOga:

 

Oh Paaduka! Sri Rangachandra-The Moon that Ranganatha is- can be

pictured with one digit. Then it indicates the shape of the Paaduka.

If that be so, the

knob (or the Paaduka) shows one tip of the moon to be elevated a

little, that is charming and auspices-conferring. (There is a belief

that at those times

when one tip of the moon digit is elevated, it augurs well for rich

harvest)

 

Namo Narayana,

 

SriMuralidhara Dasan

 

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

 

SlOkam 810

 

1) UtthamUr Sawmy's anubhavam : " Oh PaadhukE! You shine like the

first crescent of Moon known as RanganAthan. Your Yantrika appears

like the elevation at the corner of that young crescent Moon and adds

to Your beauty " . If one considers the PaadhukAi with the Lord as the

full Moon, then the bottom portion of that crescent Moon would be

the Paadhukai and the top portion of that Moon would be the

YantrilkA .

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE ! You remind us of the

first crescent after New Moon. Your YanthrikA in that context looks

like the upper tip of that prathama kalai ( first crescent of the

Moon).

 

3) hE CharaNAvani! You are the first crescent for the Moon of Lord

RanganAtha ( Bhavathee Rangachandramasa: praTamA kalEva bhAthi). On

you the links to the YanthrikA appears like the elevation at the edge

of the crescent(Yathra YanthrikA yOga: srunga unnatheeriva sriyam

vibhAvayathi)..(V.S).
