Guest guest Posted February 3, 2003 Report Share Posted February 3, 2003 Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin 672. haricharaNasarOjanyAsayOgyam BhavathyAa: praguNaBhilaShanthyO varNalABham thuLasya: prathidhinamupahAraI: pAdhukE! ThAvakAnAm marakathashakalAnAmAshrayanthE mayUKhAn Oh Paaduka! The Tulasi leaves cast on the Lord's Feet earn the green radiance of the emeralds, nevertheless, what they yearn for is the kind of perfection in colour and right choice of caste-denomination, so that they can also deserve the Lord's Feet inserted in them (as in Paaduka). Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): SlOkam 672 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! TuLasi plants desirous of getting the blessings of having Lord's holy feet on them like You , obtain the green color of Your emeralds . Swamy Desikan states that the TuLasi plants are anxious to get the dark green color for their leaves so that they can match those of the emeralds on Lord's PaadhukAs in the hope that it would help to qualify them for closer association with Lord RanganAthan , just like the emeralds on the Paadhukais. 2)Tulasi looks at the emerald gems and their green hue which have the fitness to be associated with the Lord's lotus soft Thiruvadi (Hari charaNa sarOja nyAsa yOgyam pragunam).Tulasi also wants to have that bhAgyam of nyAsa yOgyam. Every day , the TuLasi desires to attain the same hue as the emrald gems and places on Lord's Thiruvadi its own leaves ( BhavanthyA: varNa lAbham abilashanthya: prathidinam upaharai: aasrayanthE). Oh PaadhukE! The Tulasi leaves thus take refuge in the pieces of emelralds adorning You to fulfil their desire ( TaavakAnAm marataka mayUkhAn aasrayanthE)...(V.S) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
