Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 876. unnatham balivirODhinasthadhA pAdhukE! padhasarOjamAshrithA moUkthikasthabakamaDhyasammitham vyOma ShadpadhathulAmalamBhaya: Oh Paaduka! When the Lord took the form of Trivikrama to quell Bali, it was a mammoth size; the foot at the top was a vast limb; the Paaduka too was of an enormously broad area; then Your bunches of pearls looked like flower-bunches. Like the dark blue beetles that hover between flowers, the whole sky was caught between bunches of flower-like pearls! Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(V.S) SlOkam 876 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Swamy Desikan points out that the PaadhukAs can also take a gigantic and miniature form referred to in the previous verse. Swamy says: "Oh PaadhukE! When MahA Bali became the enemy of the DevAs, Your Lord became His enemy. He took the incarnation of Thrivikrama and grew to occupy the earth and the sky. In the sky, You grew with Him and Your rows of pearls looked like a huge bunch of white flowers on which the blue sky sat as the bees on that flower bunch ". The gigantic sky fitted in to the expanse of the row of pearls of the PaadhukAs. Such was the size of PaadhukAs adorning the Lord's Thiruvadi at the time of Thrivikrama's measurement of the sky with one step. 2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! During the time of ThrivikramAvathAram, the sky was caught between the pearls on You and the sky looked like the bees caught in the middle of a flower bunch (pearls). 3) Oh PadhukE! During ThrivikramAvathAram, You were growing with the upward growing, gigantic feet of the Lord, who is the enemy of Bali ( Thvam Unnatham Bhali virOdhina: padha sarOjam aasrithA ). At that time (TadhA), You made the blue sky (vyOma) interpositioned with Your pearls ( moukthika sthamBaka madhya sammithAm vyOma ) and made the sky look like a group of bees caught in between a flower bunch (TadhA vyOma Shadpadha-thulAm alabhya: )..(V.S). ------------------------ Yahoo!
