Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 886. praNihithapadhapadhmA pAdhukE! rangaBharthu: shuBhatharagathihEthuschArumukthApravALA sThirapariNatharAgAm shuDdhabODhAnubaDdhAm svajanayasi munInAm thvanmayIm chitthavrutthim Oh Paaduka! Yogis contemplate on the Lotus Feet, which are on You. You assist the Feet for free walk; the dhyana on the Feet leads yogis for a lovely auspicious progress to salvation. Your pearls and corals, by their colour and appearance create an image of the Lord's smile exposing pearl-like teeth and coral-like lips. Their mental realization is pure white, undiscoloured by doubt and is permanently bound in love (raga=red). The contemplation, the mind, the process is totally yourself as such; clinging on to You, let us say. May I then say that You have made the yogi-mind Your relative? Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): SlOkam 886 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh RangaNnAtha PaadhukE! Lord has firmly placed His lotus feet on You and takes His celebrated and auspicious steps with Your assistance. Righteous people meditating on You think of Your Lord's red lips resembling BhimbhA fruit and His sparkling white teeth, when they think of Your corals and pearls. Through such associative thoughts, You make the thoughts of the Yogis center on You for practising Bhakthi or Prapatthi yogam . 2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE ! On You the Lord's lotus feet are firmly placed. You take the Lord and the devotees that have taken refuge in You along the high roads. You attract your devotees through Your beautiful pearls and corals. You display the auspicious attributes to grant mOksham to all from children to seasoned yogis. They seek You out for Prapatthi as the ones, who have no one else to come to their rescue ( ananya gathi: ). The inner meaning is that Prapatthi anushtAnam is available to one and all (PaNDitha Paamara SaamAnyam , SarvAdhikAram). That SadAchAryAs can make it happen for one and all is the subtle essence of Prapatthi Saasthram. 3) Rang Bharthu: PadhukE ! Your Lord's sacred feet are well positioned inside You (PraNihitha padha Padhmaa). You become the reason for the Lord's auspicious sanchAram and for the Jeevan's Moksha yaathraa(Thvam NaaTasya Subhatara gathi hEthu:). With the beauty of Your pearls and corals, You raise the desire of people at all levels --young unsophisticated ones to seasoned yogis--to perform prapatthi unto You (ChAru mukthA pravaaLA chAru muktha aapraBhALA Thvam Thvanmayeem chittha vrutthim janayasi). You turn their chittha vrutthi ( activities of the mind) completely towards You ( MunInAm chittha vrutthim Thvanmayeem svajanaysai)..(V.S). ------------------------ Yahoo!
