Sri:
SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,
Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:
875. pathraLA maNigaNaIrhiraNmayI BhAsi rangapathirathnapAdhukE
kELimaNtapagathAgathOchithA BhUmikEva garudEna kalpithA
Oh Paaduka! You are gold-made. The dense beams of light emitted by
the gems present a picture of wings when You look to me as a form of
Garuda, who has taken Your form, only for swift transport of the Lord
from one mandapa to another in a kind of walking exercise.
Garuda is known as Vedatma. Being on Him also implies that the Lord
is the subject of all Vedas. Paaduka being an equivalent of
Nammazhvar, the Lord revels on this embodiment of Tamil Veda as well.
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(V.S)
SlOkam 875
1. UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PadhukE! With Your many gems
forming the shape of the two wings and with Your golden body, You
appear to be a miniature version of Garuda, who has assumed that
small form to move freely in the play room of the Lord.
2. SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE ! the spreading assembly
of Your lustre originating from the rays of Your gems create the
imagery of the spreading wings of Garudan. Your golden hue and
sancharam carrying the Lord on You makes us think that You are
another form of Garudan, who has golden wings and is the vaahanam
of the Lord of SrIrangam.
3. Oh Rangapathi Rathna PaadhukE ! You are full of Gold ( Thvam
HiraNmayee); You have the shining wings of rays from Your encrusted
gems ( Thvam MaNigaNai: pathraLaa). You look like another form of
Garuda BhagavAn used to take the Lord on His back in the play fields
of SrIrangam for Your Lord's comings and goings (Thvam Bhagavatha:
kELi manDapa gathAgatha uchithaa GarudEna kalpithA bhUmikEva asi).
Swamy Desikan suggests that the activities of the golden Paadhukais
with sprading rays are " Garuda Kalpitha BhUmikaa " ( role arranged
by Garudan) for the comings and goings of the Lord in the palyfields
of SrIrangam temple ( Thvam kELi maNdapa gathAgatha uchitha
bhUmikaa)...(V.S).
