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
).

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).
