Dear Devotees of SrI RanganAtha PaadhukAs :

SrI :
 
SrI GopAla Desika MahA DesikAya Nama:

SlOkam 949
**************
tArasphAratarasvara rasabhararA saa padhAvanee sArA
dheerasvaira charasTira RaghupuravAsarathi rAmasavA

Meaning of SlOkam 949 by Dr.V.N.VedAntha Desikan Swamy :
***************************************************************
As a valiant person , a free and independently--acting
hero , who relishes a firm stay in AyOdhyA , SrI Raamaa
walks along wearing the PaadhukA , which produces 
a high pitch melody all around , thereby spreading
all around happiness .

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
**************************************
The 949th slOkam contains a new type of 
chakra bhandham in the shape of the PaadhukA . 
Swamy  Desikan excells again through his creative
genius in creating this new PaadhukA Bhandham . 
This Bhandham has an outter square and a circle inside .
Inside that circle are 8 petals (KarNikais) of a lotus 
housing a circle inside that area and inside that 
inner circle are the two SrI RanganAtha Paadhukais 
with aksharams of the slOkam . In the ten fingers of 
the two legs are the ten aksharams of the slOkam , 
" Sarathi Raama PadhAvani Saa" are inscribed .

1) UtthamUr  Swamy's anubhavam : The PaadhukAs 
have taken refuge in Raamachandra of firm intellect ,
independence and with fondness to reside in AyOdhyA .
When the PaadhukAs travel with Raamachandra  , 
they generate a loud and majestic Naadham , which 
enhances  the joy of all listeners .
 
 2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam : In this slOkam ,
Swamy  Desikan wonders about the Paadhukais 
with soulabhya and souseelya guNams taking 
their Lord with them , wherever  they travel .
Those Paadhukais have under their control
the great hero and SarvEswaran , who is very 
fond of the citizens of AyOdhyA . Those Padhukais 
generate a majestic nAdham during their sanchAra
Kaalam and intimates to their anticipating aasrithAs
about their arrival and generates visEsha preethi 
and hope in them .     
 
3) This Aryaa vruttha slOkam salutes the Lord of
Paadhukais first as the One , who is very fond of
the citizens of AyOdhyA ( RaghupuravAsa rathy 
Raama ) . He is of firm resolve ( dheera: ) and 
the Master ( SarvEswaran) of all sentients and 
insentients ( Svaira charsTira ) as well as having 
the freedom to travel anywhere ( svairachara sTira: ) . 
When those Paadhukais of the Lord travel carrying 
their Lord on its back , they generate a unique and 
majestic nAdham linked to carrying  the Lord , who is 
under their influence ( Raama savA padhAvani
tAra sphAratara svara rasa bara raa Saa ) ...(V.S).     

SrI GopAla Desika MahA DesikAya Nama:

SlOkma 950 

charam acharam cha niyanthu: 
charaNAvanidhamparEtarA SourE:
charama purushArTachithrou 
CharaNAvani ! disasi chathvarEshu SathAm

Meaning of SlOkam 950 by Dr.V.N.VedAntha Desikan Swamy :
***************************************************************
Oh PaadhukE ! The Lord's feet act in the spirit of
the Lord without any seperate view ; the feet follow
the lead of the Supreme Lord , who is the controller 
and director of all beings . They also help in endowing 
devotees with the correct knowledge about Moksha ,
the final goal of Man , the world of Lord KrishNa .
You , Oh PaadhukA , bring the Lord's feet to the inner 
compartments of the homes of the good .What a great
service it is !  

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S) :

This last verse of Chithra Paddhathi is
an illustration of a Chithra Bhandham 
known as Padha Dhwaya BhAga Vritthi.
This being the last verse of Chithra Paddhathi ,
Swamy Desikan states that the PaadhukAs 
bless the righteous with their many auspicious
geometric representations for meditations . 

This particular Bhandham has the beginning words 
of the first two quadrants (Charama , CharaNAvani) 
once again at the beginning of the third and fourth 
quadrants of this verse .  
 
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Oh PaadhukE ! 
Through Your grace , You bring  to the inner chambers 
of the houses of the righteous the true knowledge
(Moksha Knowledge) revealed by Your Lord , who is
the Master of all sentients and insentients . You reveal
the deep meaning of the Charama slOkam revealed by 
Your Lord in GitA to even those , who were not focusing
on that revelatory knowledge of the highest value. 

 2) SrImath Andavan anubhavam : Oh PaadhukE ! 
You bring in Lord RanganAtha to the pooja grahams of 
the meek and helpless (akinchanAs) readily so that
they can offer their worship to Him . Their worship of
Your Lord results in their mind being fixed on the last 
of the four purushArTams , (viz)., Moksham and saves
them . Oh PaadhukE ! Your power in this matter is 
astounding . 
 
3) Oh Paadhukais protecting the Lord' feet !
( oh  CharaNAvani ! ) You bring Your Lord , 
who is the controller of all sentient and 
insentient beings  into the poojA gruhams of 
Saadhus  with great care ( Thvam anidham 
parEtarA sathi , charam acharnccha niyanthu:
SourE: ) . The Lord's Sacred feet protect 
the Jn~Anam about the fourth PurushArTam ,
Moksham in the minds of the Saadhus ( Charama
purushArTa chith throu charaNou ) into whose 
homes the Paadhukais bring the Lord ( SourE:
charaNou SathAm chathvarEshu disasi)... (V.S).
