MahEsakAkAsa-hEma-paadhukAamamakaAdhupA
Translation by U.Ve. Dr.V.N.Vedanatha Desikan
Swamin:
The PaadhukA helps the Moksham seekers in
case they lack
the perfection in their state of renunciation and
conquest of senses.
Luckless candidates are granted the reward of
success by the PaadhukA .
It removes diseases of body as well as
the mind . It grants protection
to those who cherish the correct feeling to
them as possessions of
the Lord Himself . It helped Rudra , when he plucked a head of (his
father)
Brahma ( and incurred mahA paapam ) . It shines on
the head of great ones
like Indra. With great mercy , it removes their sorrows . Those golden
Paadhukais
are associated with the Lord's feet and I derive benefit from that . I "milk" the cow of
PaadhukA for desired
results, during the Lord's festivities ( like BrahmOthsavam et al
).
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)
SlOkam 932: The sabdha chithram represented by this
SlOkam
is known as SarvathO Bhadhram . Here in each
Paadham consisting of
16 aksharams , the letters after the first half
--letters 9 and 10 are reversed
at the end of the Paadham .
1. UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : The Raama PaadhukAs
are victorious
and save those , who do not have ripe knowledge.
Those PaadhukAs devoid of
any afflictions are staying with the Lord's
feet and protects the spiritual riches of
those without ego . Those golden paadhukAs shine on
the head of Rudra and their
blessings are obtained by me during the time of the
festivals of the Lord .
2. SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner
meaning is that SadaachAryAs
protect the Mumukshus (those who desire Moksham) .
They destroy our
Taapa thrayams. They help the wealthy through their
upadesams to
protect the wealth( Iswaryam) blessed to them by
BhagavAn and to use
it for benovolent purposes and make sure that this
Iswaryam does not
become a cause for sorrow. Regarding the wealth of
Jn~Anam as opposed to
material wealth , the SadAchAryAs bless the chEthanams from misusing
the Jn~Anam . During the times of distress for
those who sought their
protection , SadAchAryAs unfailingly rescue them ,
whether they are sinners
or virtuous ones. They travel to dhivya dEsams
during the times of
uthsavams for their Lord. It is important to
prostrate before these
SadAchAryAs during those uthsavam times to gain
their fullest
blessings .
3. The RanganAtha PaadhukAs
protect Mumukshus , who have not fully
gained control over their Indhriyams( Jaya aama
paa) . They remove physical
and mental diseases ( apa aamayA) . They protect
the one without ahankaara--
mamakArams or protect Rudran , who had
comitted Brahmahatthi
DhOsham by plucking one of the heads of his Father
, Brahma ( amamaka
ath u paa or amamam Ka ath U paa ). Those golden
Paadhukais
eat up (destroy) the sorrows of great ones like Indra ( MahEsakaakAsa
hEma PaadhukA : Maha Isaka aka asa hEma PaadhukA ).
Thiose Paadhukais
have attained the Thiruvadi of the Lord (
ajayAmahE: aja yaa mahE ) . I milk
them during the Lord's uthsavams for fulfilling my
desires ( mahE mayA
dudhuhE ) .
SlOkam 933 :
PApAth apApAth apApA
apAdhapAdhadapAdapA
dapAdapaapAdhapAdhapAdhapA dhadhapAdhapA
Translation by U.Ve.Dr.V.N.VedAntha Desikan Swamin
The PaadhukA makes us sinless ; it bestows luster
to
the Lord's feet ( It confers an effulgence to
individual
souls , which are aspects of the Lord ). Its
ablution water is
capable of protection in respect of those who
perform the service of
respectfully inserting the PaadhukA into the Lord's
feet . Interstingly ,
it confers protection to the Lord's feet ,
which are the
source of protection
to all the worlds and of
annihilation of all of one's sins. Those PaadhukAs
saved me from sins !
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
SlOkam 933: This slOkam is used on SUNDAYS by
the ladies of the house.
This slOkam is known as "Dhvayaj~nAla SarvathO
Bhadhram ". This sabdha
chithram can be represented either as a 8x8 square
or as an ashta dhaLa
padhmam housing a circle and a chathur dhaLa
padhmam . This entire
slOkam is made up
only of two aksahrams : dha and Paa .
1. UttamUr Swamy's anubhavam: The PaadhukAs are
sinless and protect
in themselves the lustre of the jeevans , who are
derived from VishNu. They
protect the Lord's feet , which destroy the sins of
Jeevans. These PaadhukAs
protect further those , who offer them water for
their sacred bath. They have
protected me from the sins .
2.SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning of
this slOkam is :
(a) The AchAryAs as avathAra PurushAs establish the
Parathvam of
the Lord out
of their abiding love for their Lord and intense compassion for
the Jeevans through successful debates with
kumathis (b) by nature , these
AchAryAs are devoid of sins and are intent on
banishing the sins of those , who
seek their protection . They purify those who
provide help for their Bhagavath-
AarAdhanam through the theertham from their
AarAdhanam and their own
SrI Paadha Theertham . Thus they save those who
seek protection by
banishing their nescience and sins .
3. This 933rd slOkam consisting of two Uyir
yezhutthukkaL ( A and Aa ) and
two Mey Yezhutthakkal ( Pa , Dha ) has to split in
the following manner to
reveal the meaning:
pApAth apApAth apApA
apAdhapAdhadapAdapA
dapAdapApAdhapAdhapAdhapA dadhapAdhapA
These PaadhukAs are free of sins ( apApA);
They store in them the rays
at the sacred feet of the Lord that save
chEthanams ( a paadha padha
dha pAdha paa) . They have the Thirumanjana
theerttham from those
who place them at the Lord's feet for
their protection .They bless the seekers
with rakshaNam ( dha paadha ); they chase away the
sins of those, who seek
their rakshaNam ( pApa adha ). These are the
Paadhukais that protect
the sacred feet of the Lord ( Paadha paadhapA ).
These Divine paadhukais
have protected me from sins ( pApAth
apApAth)...(V.S).
