Guest guest Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 SrI : SrI GopAla Desika MahA DesikAya Nama: SlOkam 945 dhaamanirAkrutha tAmasa lOkA dhAthrumukhair-vinathA nijadAsai: pApam asEsham apAkurushE mE Paadhu ! vibhUshitha-Raaghava PaadhA Meaning according to Dr.V.N.VedAntha Desikan Swamy : Oh PaadhukA ! You see to it that the sacred land You reigned over suffered no grief whatsoever. It was Your great grace. Faultless , effulgent , You had Your court filled with kings , whose affluence were of a faultless nature . You never get satisfied with the bliss that You derive by enjoying close contact with the Lord's feet , nor with the bliss You secure for devotees by way of their enjoyment of the Lord's feet . You have powers to increase the bliss further & further ; and there is no impediment to this role of Yours. Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: This and the next verse form a duet of verses representing " Bhinna Vruttha PRATHILOMA gOmuthrikA bandha padhya dhvayam . SlOkams 943 & 944 represented "bhinna vrutthhi ANULOMA gOmuthrika bhandha Padhya dhvayam ". Here , Swamy Desikan says: " Oh PaadhukE ! You are adorning RaamA's feet and with Your prowess have destroyed the community of asurAs . You are being worshipped by Brahma and other devoted servants of Yours. You remove all of my sins. 2. Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that SadAchAryAs like the Lord's Paadhukais are capable of destroying the demonic nature (aasura svabhAvam ) of people . They are powerful to chase away the enemies of people of Saathvic nature and enhance their satthva guNam further , which in turn prepares them to reach the limits of being the servants (Seshathva Kaashtai) to the Supreme Lord . They are pristinely pure like the Lord's sacred feet and removes all the blemishes of those , who seek them as refuge.They are thus highly qualified to destroy the aasura svabhAvams , counter Satthva Naasam ( destruction of Satthva guNam ) and eliminators of virOdhis for serving as the servants of the Lord as a chosen way of life . 3. Oh PaadhukE (hE Paadhu ) ! You are known for Your tEjas(lustre) which destroys the people filled with TamO guNams ( DhAma nirAkrutha tAmasa lOkA ). You are worshipped by Your servants like Brahma ( dhAthru- mukhai: daasai: vinathA ). You adorn the sacred feet of Lord Raaghavan ( VibhUshitha Raaghava PaadhA ) . Oh PaadhukE ! You remove entirely all my sins ( Thvam mE pApam asEsham apApurushE )...(V.S). SlOkam 946 SrI GopAla Desika MahA DesikAya Nama: Saarasa soukhya samEthA khyAthA padhapaa bhuvi svAj~njA Saahasa KaaryavanAsA dheerA VasudhA navanyAsA Meaning according to Dr.V.N.VedAntha Desikan Swamy : The PaadhukA was interested in safeguarding the devotee , BharathA , who showed a stubbornness in his stand , sometimes even improper . It ventures to protect devotee somehow. It grants affluence . Its ever-anew , charming steps would be impressive . It enjoys the pleasure of the lotus flowers submitted as archana oblations . The PaadhukA rules with a righteous mace . Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Oh PaadhukE ! You seem not to be entirely satisfied with the intimate attachment with the Lord's feet . With Your lustre and desire , You get power and without any let , You guard this earth with compassion . Without any blemish , You purify through Your lustre all the kings of the universe including BharathA . 2) SrImath Andavan anubhavam : The inner meaning is : The SadAchAryAs are easy to worship based on their auspicious attributes , ease of access , qualifications , readiness to respond . Their worship removes sorrows and blemishes , creates purity and enhances Saathvika guNam in preparation for reaching the limits of observing the Lord (Seshathva Kaashtai). Hence , the arrival of such SadAchAryAs in our midst is worthy of prayers . 3) Oh PaadhukE ! You have the power and dayA to protect the land between Vidhya and HimalayA mountains/AaryA Vartham ( hE PaadhAvani ! Thvam krupA anaga thrAtha subhU: ). You are blemishless (adhushtA ). You are pure through Your lustre ( RuchA mEdhyA ).You belong to the assembly of Saadhu Janams ( ParishadhA ). You are the protector of Earth ( bhUpA ). You are the One , who is not satisfied with the contact with the sacred feet of Your Lord ( sthyAna sukhai: na thrupthA ). You are with desire ( kAnthyA samEthA ). You have the power of Office ( adhikruthA ) .Oh PaadhukE ! You are uninterruptable ( anirOdhA). Please appear before me ( Thvam aama ) !
