SrImathE Gopala MahA DesikAya Nama:
 
SlOkam 941:
 
ramyE vEsmani pAparAkshasabhidhAsvAsakthadhee NaayikA
nanthum karmaja  dhurmadhAlasadhiyAm Saa hantha nATeekruthA
sadhvADa brahmikAsu tApasa  thatapOvisrambha  bhUyanthrikA
kAchith svaraikamEna kELisamayE kAmavrathA PaadhukA
   
Meaning  according to Dr.V.N.Vedantha Desikan Swamy :
 
Even when the PaadhukA strolls at  will , freely for pleasure ,
it will grant the boons to the worshippers , because it is its
firm vow to do so. It leads the Lord in the track for decimation
of demonaic forces , as per His wish , of course . Saadhus
in the forest engage themselves in their penance in full
confidence that no trouble will arise from demons ,
merely on seeing  the prints of the PaadhukAs on
the surrounding sands. That PaadhukA of such great
supermacy has taken seat under the holy Ranga VimAnam
only to enable lazy individuals ( whose haughty thoughts
have made them unfit for yogAs like Karma yOgA ) to worship
and derive the benefit of salvation .The MahA chakrA
bandhA, " VenkatanAtheeya--PaadhukA Sahasram " is
engraved in a Masterly manner in this slOkam by Swamy
Desikan .
 
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)
 
SlOkam 941 : This verse is set in the chakram
recognized as " Kavi-kAvya-NaamAngitha MahA Chakram " .
This chakram is otherwise known as " VenkatanATeeya
Paadhuka Sahasra MahA Chakram " . This chakram includes
the name of the poet ( VenkatanATan) and the Kaavyam ,
PaadhukA Sahasram in its geometric pattern (Chithra
Paddhathi) .
 
1) UtthamUr  Swamy's anubhavam: Here , Swamy Desikan
salutes the matchless Paadhukais , which sit inside the Ranga
VimAnam at SrIrangam . He says : Those PaadhukAs help
the egotistic and dull-witted kept down by their misdeeds .
They help them to offer their surrender . The PaadhukAs
bring before one , their Lord , who is intent on destroying
the enemies of  the DevAs . They roam on the streets , where  
the righteous of Srirangam reside . They become the yanthrAs
for those , who perform penance to get the blessings of
the PaadhukAs . Through their voluntary movements ,
the PaadhukAs take different kinds of strides during their
play hours. Those PaadhukAs with their limitless glory
are sitting inside the SrIranga vimAnam . The geometric
pattern of this yanthram (MahA Chakram ) has 9 inner circles
intercepted by 6 spokes of a wheel from edge to edge of
the outter most chakram at 60 degree angles containing
the aksharams of the slOkam inside .
 
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: One may think that
the Paadhukais (SadAchAryAs ) may not have RakshaNa
SvAtantryam since it is Para Tantran to its Lord . Swamy
Desikan points out that in dhivya dEsams like SrIrangam ,
Paadhukais assume PurushakAram to have control
over the helpless jeevans and saves them . Therefore all
sinners can approach the SadAchAryAs and be saved .
 
For asritha rakshaNm , SadAchAryAs  are firm minded
and engage in making recommendations to the Lord
to save the SamsAris by eliminating their karmAs . For
this purpose , SadAchAryAs travel to the agrahArams
of SamsAris and through their Saannidhyam (Personal  
presence , anushtAnam and UpadEsam chase away
the inner enemies pf one like Kaamam , krOdham et al .
 
3) In this slOkam set in SaardhUla VikreeDitham metre ,
Swamy  DEsikan says that the Paadhukais have been made
an independent agent by the Lord for protecting the aasrithAs
( alasa dhiyaam nanthum ramyE vEsmani nATeekruthaa. Hantha!  
The Paadhukai has the firm interest to pursue its favorite vratham
SaraNAgatha RakshaNam (i-e) . ; ( svaira-gamanE kAmavrathA ).

SrI GopAla DEsika MahA DesikAya Nama:
 
SlOkam 942
 
SrisamvEdhana karma kruth vasutava syAm ruddha dhairyasphuDa:
SrI PaadhAvani visthruthAsi sukhinee Thvam gEyayAthAyanA
VedAnthAnubhavAthi pAthi sutanu: sAndhrEDya bhAvapraTE
angasTA chAchyuthadhivyadAs sumathi: prANasTaseethAdhana:
 
Meaning according to Dr.V.N.VedAntha Desikan Swamy :
 
Oh SrI PaadhukE ! You have in abundance the fame of being
praised profusely .  SitA treats You as life-like treasure. Your
greatness is beyond comprehension to the reach of the VedAnthAs.
You are an aid , an appurtenance , devotedly engaged in service
to Lord AchyuthA . Your walks here and there are worthy of
singing in praise ; and You are regaled by such praise . May I
become Your servant , performing perfect duties that qualify me
to reach Your cherished affluence , namely , the kingdom of God !    
 
Special NOtes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
 
SlOkam 942:  This slOkam is in the form of  a rare Chakra
Bhandham known as "Chathuranga AshtAra chakram . The name of
the poet ( SrI VenkatanATan ) , his earned titles  and the name of
the Kaavyam composed by him are included in this slOkam . 
 
Here , Swamy  Desikan prays for the blessings of performing 
Kaimkaryams to the Paadhukais and to be considered as their
property . This chakram is referred to as " Kavi-Kaavyaadhi--
ParapadhyA ghaDitha chakram" . The metre of this slOkam like
the previous slOkam is SaardhUla Vikreetitham .
 
1) UtthamUr  Swamy's anubhavam :    Oh PaadhukE having the glory of
being praised with ardour and having the glory of being the life and
wealth of SitA Devi ! Oh PaadhukE with clear and brilliant lustre !
You have a beautiful form that is beyond the description and experience
of the VedAs . You stay next to Your Lord and on the lap of Your Lord"s
consort . You spend Your days and nights in service to Your Lord .
Your scholarship is of the kind that is celebrated to earn You the title of
Sumathi . Your novel and beautiful strides are praiseworthy . May I be
blessed with the boon of serving You with courage and steadfastness
and have the distinction of being Your own property to qualify for
the name of PaadhukA Sevakan .
 
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam :This Bhandham celebrates
the Naama , Svaroopa , GuNa and KriyAi of the Poet ,
SrI VenkatanAthan . This slOkam glorifies the MahA ViswAsa
BhOgyathvam and Parama PrApyathvam of both the Paadhukais
and the SadAchAryAs . The inner meaning is that the SadAchAryAs
fulfill all auspicious karmAs for those , who seek their refuge;
they are dear to MahA Lakshmi; they banish all inauspiciousness
thru their wide sanchArams ; They become objects of great
enjoyment ( parama bhOgyam) to their disciples just as Bhagavath
anubhavam ; they become subjects of contemplation ; they are
forever immersed in Bhagavath anubhavam and bless their
disciples to enjoy such anubhavam; they should not be considered
as mere humans but as the symbol of the Lord Himself .
 
3) Oh PaadhukE ! You are like the treasure for those , who
perform sathkarmAs prescribed by the VedAs ( SrI samvEdhana
karma kruth vasu ) ! You have great glory because of Your
auspicious attributes that offer material for huge eulogies
( Saandhra EeDyabhAava praTE !). You are like  a huge treasure
for SitA PirAtti , whose life is RaamachandrA ( PrANasTa SeethA
dhana ! ). Oh Lord's PaadhAvani ! Your sanchArams are worthy
of eulogy ( Thvam gEya yAthAyanA!). You have a dhivya thirumEni 
(divine body) that is sweeter to enjoy than Bhagavath anubhavam
itself ( VedAntha anubhava athipAthi sutanu!). You are the most 
prominent among the Lord's chihnams (angasTA !) . You are
engaged in the noble service to Lord Achyuthan ( Achyutha 
dhivya dhAsya Sumathi! ) . You enjoy immeasurable joy thru
such dhAsa Kruthyams ( Sukiniee ) and take on limitless 
avathArams befitting that of Your Lord ( VistruthA asi!).
Therefore , You should bless me to become a devoted
servant to You of such glories ( Ruddha dhairya sphuDa:
Tava syAm ! )...(V.S).
