Dear Devotees of SrI RanganAtha PaadhukAs :
 
In Yesterday's posting , there was a mix up in numbering .
I have enclosed the correct version below . Please use this
and discard the posting of yesterday , which by mistake had
included the 947the SlOkam ( Saarasa-soukhya samEthA---).
 
We will start from the 947th SlOkam in he next posting .

SrI :
 
SrI GopAla Desika MahA DesikAya Nama:
 
SlOkam 945
 
dhaamanirAkrutha tAmasa lOkA  dhAthrumukhair-vinathA nijadAsai:
pApam asEsham apAkurushE mE Paadhu ! vibhUshitha-Raaghava PaadhA
 
Meaning according to Dr.V.N.VedAntha Desikan Swamy :
 
Oh PaadhukA ! Your effulgence is itself adequate to annihilate
the asura clan. of the TamO guNaa . Brahma and the like who are your
servants , pay obesiance to You . You are an embellishment to
the feet of SrI Raama . You eliminate all my sins totally.
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
 
1) UtthamUr  Swamy's anubhavam: This and the next verse form a duet of
verses representing " Bhinna Vruttha PRATHILOMA  gOmuthrikA bandha
padhya dhvayam . SlOkams 943 & 944 represented "bhinna vrutthhi
ANULOMA  gOmuthrika bhandha Padhya dhvayam ".
 
Here , Swamy Desikan says: " Oh PaadhukE ! You are adorning RaamA's feet
and with Your prowess have destroyed the community of asurAs . You are
being worshipped by Brahma and other devoted servants of Yours. You remove
all of my sins. 
 
2. Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that SadAchAryAs
like the Lord's Paadhukais are capable of destroying the demonic nature
(aasura svabhAvam ) of people . They are powerful to chase away the enemies
of people of Saathvic nature and enhance their satthva guNam further , which
in turn prepares them to reach the limits of being the servants (Seshathva 
Kaashtai) to the Supreme Lord . They are pristinely pure like the Lord's
sacred feet and removes all the blemishes of those , who seek them as
refuge.They are thus highly qualified to destroy the aasura svabhAvams ,
counter Satthva Naasam ( destruction of Satthva guNam ) and eliminators of
virOdhis for serving as the servants of the Lord as a chosen  way of life . 
 
3. Oh PaadhukE (hE Paadhu ) ! You are known for Your tEjas(lustre)
which destroys the people filled with TamO guNams ( DhAma nirAkrutha
tAmasa lOkA ). You are worshipped by Your servants like Brahma ( dhAthru-
mukhai: daasai: vinathA ). You adorn the sacred feet of Lord Raaghavan
( VibhUshitha Raaghava PaadhA ) . Oh PaadhukE ! You remove entirely
all my sins ( Thvam mE pApam asEsham apApurushE )...(V.S). 
 
SlOkam 946
 
SrI GopAla Desika MahA DesikAya Nama:
 
krupanAga-thrAtha subhUradhrushtA 
mEdhyA ruchA pArishadhAmabhUpA
Padhavani! sthyAnamukhairna trupthA
kAnthyA samEthAdhikrutha  anirOdhA  
 
Meaning according to Dr.V.N.VedAntha Desikan Swamy :
 
Oh PaadhukE ! You see to it that the sacred land you reigned
over suffered no grief wahtsever. It was Your great grace .
Faultless , effulgent , You had Your court filled with kings ,
whose affluence was of a faultless nature .You never get
satisfied with the bliss that you derive by enjoying close
contact with the Lord's feet , nor with the bliss You secure 
for devotees by way of their enjoyment of the feet .You have
powers to increase the bliss further and further ; and there
is no impediment to this role of Yours .   
 
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
 
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Oh PaadhukE ! You seem not to be
entirely satisfied with the intimate attachment with the Lord's feet . With Your
lustre and desire , You get power and without any let , You guard this earth
with compassion . Without any blemish , You purify through Your lustre
all the kings of the universe including BharathA . 
 
2) SrImath Andavan anubhavam : The inner meaning is : The SadAchAryAs
are easy to worship based on their auspicious attributes , ease of access ,
qualifications , readiness to respond . Their worship removes sorrows
and blemishes , creates purity and enhances Saathvika guNam
in preparation for reaching the limits of observing the Lord (Seshathva
Kaashtai). Hence , the arrival of such SadAchAryAs in our midst  is
worthy of prayers .
 
3) Oh PaadhukE ! You have the power and dayA to protect the land
between Vidhya and HimalayA mountains/AaryA Vartham ( hE PaadhAvani !
Thvam krupA anaga thrAtha subhU: ). You are blemishless (adhushtA ).
You are pure through Your lustre ( RuchA mEdhyA ).You belong to
the assembly of Saadhu Janams ( ParishadhA ). You are the protector
of Earth ( bhUpA ). You are the One , who is not satisfied  with the contact
with the sacred feet of Your Lord ( sthyAna sukhai: na thrupthA ).
You are with desire ( kAnthyA samEthA ). You have the power of
Office ( adhikruthA ) .Oh PaadhukE ! You are uninterruptable
( anirOdhA). Please appear before me ( Thvam aama ) !
