Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 382. muraBhinmaNipAdhukE! BhavathyA: sthuthimAkarNayathAm mayA nibaDdhAm avaDhIrayasIva manjunAdhaIrachamathkAravachAmsi dhurjanAnAm Oh Lord's Paaduka! Is it that You produce the melodious music to drown, with a disdain, the noise of bad men, who tend to prattle some criticism about my hymn on You? I presume so. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan (1) Sri UtthamUr Sawmy's anubhavam: Oh MaNi PaadhukE ! When ill- wishing people with their foul mouths decry this composition of mine celebrating Your glory, it appears that You reject their foolish talk with Your sweet sounds . (2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! Following Your command, I am eulogizing Your kalyANa guNams. Those , who do not have the benefit of upadesam from a SadAchAryan do not recognize this sthuti as dealing with the three tatthvams and criticize them . When I hear Your sweet Naadham, it appears that You are saying to them : " Why are You losing the opportunity to gain a good birth by criticism of the Sri Sookthi about Me composed by My great devotee". That message of Yours gladdens my heart . (3)Swamy Desikan describes the act of intervention by the Naadham of Padhukai here. When the Paadhukai hears the foul criticism of the bad people about Swamy Desikan's Sthuthi , it blocks those dhUshaNa vaakyams with its sweet Naadham ( DhurjanAnAm achamathkAra vachAmsi manju naadhai: avadhIrayasi ). Swamy Desikan's choice of the word to describe the unsophisticated and ill-meaning criticism of the uninformed people is very diplomatic and considerate. He puts their criticism in the category of AchamathkAram ( asattu kuzhainthaL yEtho uLaruhinrana) . Swamy points Out that the sweet sounds of the PaadhukA naadham gently chides them..(V.S).
