Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 890. anupaDhi parirakshEnnEkaputhrABhimAnAdh BhuvanamidhamashESham pAdhukE! ranganATha: nijapadhanihithAyAm dhEvi! thiShtan brajan vA thvayi nihithaBharOBhUth kim puna: svApamrucChan Oh Paaduka Devi! Lord Ranganatha shoulders the burden of protecting all beings. He does it all by Himself. He does it without expecting any return, unlike what is usually the world's habit. The love, care, and concern that He bears in respect of each individual being, is the same as one (or He) would show towards an only son. The magnitude of His burden can now be imagined. He has perhaps, this on His own shoulder when seated. But by simple logic He may be regarded as entrusting the whole to You; when He is asleep. When standing or walking, the whole weight of His is borne by You along with His burden of world-protection. Could one say that He bears the weight of yours, while walking? You protect the Feet and that enables the Lord to walk! While He is asleep, You bear Him as Adisesha. Thus Your role as the role of Azhvar and Acharyas offering correct guidance to people, is so much cardinal that the Lord chooses incumbents for the assignments after elaborate testing. The worth of sadhacharyas has to be understood in this spirit. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): SlOkam 890 1) UthtamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Devi PadhukA ! RanganAthA carries the weight of the Universe in the spirit of a father caring for His only son. Without any incentive but purely out of His compassion, He places His feet inside You(PaadhukAs) and the burden of carrying the load of the universe falls on You as well. Thus, You help Him to carry the burden, when He is standing or walking .When He engages in Yoga nidhrA, the entire burden of carrying the load of the universe falls completely on You. During His sleep, You carry the weight of AdhisEshan. The Lord sleeps now without any worry knowing that You are in charge as His representative . 2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! Lord RanganAthan protects the world without expecting anything in returm and displays the same affection a parent shows for his only son. This Lord of SrIrangam places the responsibility of protection of the world on the capable PaadhukAs, whether He is at His sannidhi or on sanchAram. If Lord RanganAtha acts this way during His wakeful hours, one can readily imagine that He assigns the protection of the world with the Paadhukais , when He engages in nidhrA. Therefore, Oh PaadhukE ! You are the One, who bears the responsibilities of protecting the world at all times. 3) Oh PadhukE! Lord RanganAtha protects the world without any wavering like the Father, who protects his son without seeking any rewards ( RanganAtha: asEsham bhuvanam yEka-puthra-abhimAnAth anupadhi parirakshan iva).During the time of sanchAram or otherwise, Lord RanganAtha places the responsibility of protecting the world with You standing close to His Thiruvadi ( Thishtan vrajanvA RanganAtha: nija padha nihithAyAm Thvayee nihitha bhara: abhUth). If this were to be so during His wakeful hours, what is to say about the protection of the world, when He sleeps (svApam rucchan kim puna: )? Yes , Ofcourse! He entrusts You with that protection as well ...(V.S). ------------------------ Yahoo!
