Dear friends,
This is a very interesting verse of the Paduka sahasramam.
Adiyane has heard it being said that at SriVilliputtur, Swami Desikan
having arrived one evening at 'pradosham/trayodasai', was maintaining
mouna vratam and resting in his lodgings. He did not go to the temple
of Vadapatra sAyi nor to the sanctum of ANdal.
At that time, the 'purappAdu' of Sri AndAl came in procession via the
lane where his lodgings were. On seeing the procession of "nAcchiAr",
Desikan's spontaneously broke out into song which today has come to
us as the 'gOdA-stuthi'!
Our Swami Desikan that day seems to have broken both the 'mouna-
vrata' and the 'pradOsha' stricture against 'bhagavath sannidhAnam'!!
But who cares? We got the "goda-stuthi" in the bargain!
Any comments?
Rgds,
dAsan,
Sudarshan
