Sri: 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!

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). ------------------------ Yahoo!
