Padhuka Sahasram-979

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

 

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

 

979. samAshrithAnAm maNipAdhukE! ThvAm

vipaschithAm viShNupadhEpyanAsThA

kaTham punasthE kruthinO BhajEran

vAsAdharam vAsavarAjaDhAnyAm

 

Oh Manipaaduka! Whosoever has clung to You in surrender-path will

not care to think of either the Feet or Vaikunta world. This being

so, how will such privileged persons ever consider Indra's abode for

occupation?

 

Namo Narayana,

 

SriMuralidhara Dasan

 

 

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

 

SlOkam 979

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh MaNi PaadhukE! Those righteous

people with true knowledge do not show great interest in either the

Lord's holy feet or His residence (SrI Vaikuntam) . If this were to

be their disposition, why would they be intersted in living in the

city of Indra at all? They will not be interested at all in that

opportunity .

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh MaNi PaadhukE ! Only those, who

are bereft of Tatthva Jn~Anam and those with desire for nonlasting

pleasures will seek anya dEvathA upAsanam. They gain these alpa

sukhams and lose You. Those in contrast who consider You as the

ultimate goal and phalan seek you and You alone and will not

consider any other fruits from You. I have no other ultimate goal (

PurushArTam ) other than You and You are my ananya gathi.

 

3) For those VidhvAns who comprehend the true meanings of Tatthvam ,

even Parama Padham is not a desired objective ( ThvAm SamAsrithAnAm

vipascchithAm VishNu PadhEapi anastA ) . These competent and blessed

people will not be tempted by desires like residence in AmarAvathy ,

the capital of Indhran ( tE kruthina: VAsaava rAjadhAnyAM vAsAdharam

kaTam puna: bhajEran ? ).... (V.S).
