Oh Paaduka! It appears that You announce; in a sweet manner, pleasant
to the ear, as an essence of the meaning of the Srutis as well, as a
manner of solemn declaration; so touching, as required by the Smritis
(that one would touch an auspicious object while swearing on a solemn
oath), the Feet of Lord Ranganatha, by Your gem-bedecked hands, that
is, the rays from the gems on You, in a manner to quell and convince
the heterodox views of the wrong-sighted interpreters of the Veda, to
the effect:
"This Archa-moorti, Lord Ranganatha, is the Supreme Deity, proclaimed
by the ruling authoritative scriptures, and identifiable as the soul
of all, having sentients and non-sentients as His manifestations".
(The views to be corrected are: that Brahman has no qualities; that
It has no form; that any godhead could be supreme; that Archa-avatara
is not real).
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S ):
SlOkam 860
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! You destroy the false
arguments of the demented and prove that Lord NaarAyaNan is the
supreme priniciple of the universe. You prove that the Purusha at the
center of the Sun's orbit is none other than the eternal RanganAtha.
You touch His feet with Your thousand rays and highlight His eternal
and unique role as the creator, protector and destroyer of the
universe as pronounced by the VedAs. You proclaim and assert that
Hari is the central power that pervades all the sentient and
insentient beings. You silence the false scholars about their
opinions to the contrary".
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam : Oh PaadhukE ! The rays from Your
gems fall on the sacred feet of Your Lord. You also generate sweet
sounds as You transport Him .When one experiences both of these
anubhavams, they think that this scene is evocative of Your dialog
with those, who misintrepret the meanings of the VedAs . You seem to
be reminding them that Your Lord is the true meaning of all the VedAs
and to trust Your Lord always. You appear like taking a vow by
touching Your Lord's Thiruvadi and reminding these mistaken souls
about the eternal truth .
3) Oh MaNi PaadhukE ! You are touching Your Lord's sacred feet
with Your thousands of arms /rays emanting from Your gems ( Thvam
RathnAsrithai: karai: Hari padham spruthvA ). You also have the sweet
sounds cherished by the VedAs ( Sruthi rasAyana manju-nAdhA ). You
appear to address at that time the many deluded scholars , who
misintrepret the meanings of the Veda manthrams ( VedAn
prathAritavatha: vividhAn kudhrushteen ). You seem to say to them
that Lord RanganAtha in front of You is the true meaning of the Veda
manthrams (yEthath tatthvam ithi samyak bhOdhayaseeva) ... (V.S).
