SlOkam 943
kanakapeeDa nivishta tanustadhA
Sumathy dhAyinijAnubhavasmruthA
vidhisiva pramukair abhivandhithA
vijayathE Raghupungava PaadhukA
Meaning according to Dr.V.N.VedAntha Desikan Swamy
:
Hail its victory ! Victory to the PaadhukA , which
, when it
reigned over the kingdom , was majestically seated
on a gold
throne ; its contemplation in one's heart , even a
momentary
recalling of the PaadhukA , will confer
an effective blossoming
of one's faculty of the mind , its worshippers
include Brahma
and SivA .Victory to that PaadhukA !
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
This slOkam is jointly studied with the next (
944th ) slOkam .
These two slOkams form together a pair to exemplify
a type of poetry
known as " Bhinna vrutthAnulOma gOmUthrikA bhandha
padhya
dhvayam ". The two slOkams (943 & 944) have
seperate vrutthams/
metres (Bhinna-vruttha Bhandha padhya dhvayam) :
SlOkam 943
is in dhruthaviLambhitha Vruttham and
slOkam 944 is in SragviNee
Vruttham .
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: SrI Raama
Paadhukais sat on
the golden throne of Raghus . At that time , the
noble-minded PaadhukAs
conferred the boon of true Jn~Anam .
Remembering their attributes and
experience, they are saluted by Brahma , RudrA and
others with special
affection .
2. Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: In the previous
slOkam , Swamy Desikan
prayed for the boon of "TadEka sEsha Vrutthi "
(performing Kaimkaryams to
the Paadhukais alone) . When the Paadhukais
responded favorably to
his prayer , Swamy Desikan becomes joyous
and pours out his eulogy of
the most merciful PadhukAsand hails them . The mood
here is JayAseer-
vAdhams or hailing victory to the PaadhukAs.
May there be victory to
the Paadhukais which sits on a golden seat
inside Sriranga VimAnam
just as it did in the time of AyOdhyA Raaman
through sitting on a similar
golden seat ( the throne of Raghu Vamsam kings ) !
May there be victory
to the Paadhukais , which at Srirangam (
archai) as well as in AyOddhi
(VIbhavam) blessed one and all to acquire true
Jn~Anam ! May there be
victory to the Paadhukais , which were worshipped
by Brahma and Rudra
both inside the Ranga VimAnam as well as at the
time they reigned as
the representative of the Lord at AyOddhi .
Victory to the Paadhukais
which defeats the dhushta RaakshasAs as well as my
dhushta manas !
May the Paadhukais of such multiple , auspicious
attributes shine forever
with Vijaya SrI !
3. Those Paadhukais sat on the golden throne of the
kings of Raghu
Vamsam at AyOddhyA with its majestic body ( TadhA
kanaka peeDa
nivishta tanu: ) . They have the power to bless us
with sumathy ( MInd
known for its clarity and possession of true
Jn~Anam ) . They are
powerful to bless the devotee with the nectar of
anubhavam about
them through dhyAnam (nija anubhava smruthA ) .
They are worshipped by
Brahma and Sivan et al ( Vidhi Siva pramukhai:
abhivandithA ) . May those
Raama Paadhukais be victorious always ( Raghu
Pungava PaadhukA
vijayathE ) !
SlOkam 944
SrI GopAla Desika MahA DesikAya Nama:
dheena gOpijaniklishta bheenuth sadhA
Raama PaadhAvani ! SvAnubhAvasTithA
yEdhi mEvasyam uthArabhAvasrithA
tEjasA tEna gushtim gathA paalikA
Meaning according to Dr.V.N.VedAntha Desikan Swamy
:
Oh Raama PaadhukA ! Innocent Gopi damsels
were
relieved of grief and
fear about re-birth , KamsA's atrocities
and seperation from their Lord . Oh PaadhukE ! You
possess
an inherent grandeur that is unsullied because You
are not in any
want . Your effulgence arises from Your ability to
elevate the lowliest
to the level of being salvaged . May You please
be my Protectress !
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
1) UthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Oh Raama PaadhukE !
You removed
the sorrows , fear and repeated births in the world
for the meek gOpis.
You are conscious always of Your glory and intent
on rescuing those
in difficult situations through the exercise of
Your power. You are
celebrated for such valorous deeds . May Thou
without fail be My
Protector !
2) SrImath Andavan anubhavam : Here the salutation
is to the tEjas of
the Paadhukais. During the KrishNAvathAram , You
removed the fears of
Gopikais in this and the other world. Your mahimai
can not be assailed by
any one including Brahma , Rudran and ohers . Your
lustre helps samsAris
to ovecome their deficencies . May YOur tEjas
maintain sEsha vrutthi for me
and prevent our misfortunes !
3) Oh Raama PAdhaavani ! You removed the
distress of the meek Gopis
and provided them with the path for Moksham(
dheena gOpee jani klishta).
You removed the fear from dEvAs like IndhrA ( Bhee
nuth ). They are steeped
in the anubhavam of Bhagavath Bhakthi (
svAnubhAva sTithA ). It has acquired
the power to lift up the muktha jeevan via the
path of light ( UtthAra Bhava srithA ).
They have become elated over their tEjas (tEjasA
gushtim gathA ) . May those
Paadhukais remain as my protector always ( mE
paalikA yEdhi )
..(V.S).
