SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,
Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:
984. rangEshvarasya yadhidham maNipAdharakshE!
pAdhAravindhayugaLam BhavathIsamEtham
pumsAmupOShithavilOchanapAraNArham
kshIram thadhEthadhiha sharkarayA samEtham
Oh Manipaaduka! You in conjunction with the Lotus Feet! What a
blissful sight? It is not easily available to any one. Humans had
been starved of such a feed for the eyes, for a very long, long
time. Now seeing this is equivalent to the parana after a fast. And
what a kind of termination of the fast! Milk with sugar, so
delectable a feed!
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S) :
SlOkam 984
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Mani PaadhukE! The sight of
Yourself with Your Lord's holy feet on my head is a delicious
experience like tasting milk mixed with sugar. It is like the feast
to the righteous, who were fasting and they enjoy partaking that
delectable meal.
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Here, Swamy Desikan answers
the question about the benefits that accrued from the nirhEthuka
krupai of the Paadukais. Swamy Desikan states that he has
realized at Srirangam the darsana soubhAgyam of the Lord's
sacred feet united with the Paadhukais (SadAchAryan, Swamy
NammAzhwAr), which is equivalent to the tasting of the milk
admixed with sugar. This is an avicchanna sEvai (United sEvai).
" Bhagavath vandhanam svAdhyam guru vandhana pooravakam "
is the adage to remember: It is a true blessing to have Bhagavath
vandhanam preceded by AchArya Vandhanam.
3) Oh PaadhukE ! The darsanam of Your Lord's feet united with You
is the feast for the eyes, which has been starved from looking at
auspicous entities ( PumsAm upOkshitha vilOchana pAraNArham ).
That experience of enjoyment of Your Lord's sacred feet united
with You is like tasting of the naturally sweet milk with sugar
( idham Bhavathee samEtham yath paadhaaravindha yugaLam tath
yEthath iha sarkarayA samEtham ksheeram iva)...(V.S).
