Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:

904. shrIrangEndhOscharaNakamalam thAdhrusham DhArayanthI
     kAlE kAlE saha kamalayA klrupthayAthrOthsavashrI:
     gathvAgathvA svayamanugrahadhvAramunnidhranAdhA
     poUrAnnithyam kimapi kushalam pAdhukE! prucChasIva

Oh Paaduka! You bear the Lotus Feet of the Lord, of such a great 
reputation as to be resorted to by all worlds as the sole resort for 
rescue! You move about in every procession, making Lord Ranganatha 
walk through streets, along with His consort. You pause at every 
doorstep and emit a melodious note. Is it that You enquire of the 
occupants, in Your great concern, 'Are You all right! Hope there is 
no problem'.
 
Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan


Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S ):
 
SlOkam 904
 
1. UtthamUr  Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! The Lord of Srirangam, 
who makes everyone's heart joyous travels around Srirangam with His 
consort and is supported by You during those festive occasions . You 
are exhilirated by the act of bearing His lotus feet and You enter 
each house on His route and through Your delectable naadham inquire 
after the well being of the residents of those houses .
 
2. SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: This slOkam is based on SrImad
RaamAyaNam, where Lord Raamachandra during His Raama Raajyam
stopped at all the houses of citizens to inquire about their Yoga 
KshEmams after His temporary absences from His RaajadhAni (samgramAth 
punarAgathya kusalam pariprucchathi). After each sanchAram for 
dhushta nigraham and sishta paripAlanam as well as Uthsavams, Lord 
RanganAtha stops at the houses of the citizens  of SrIrangam and  
inquires about their well being and accepts their upachArams. This is 
a manifestation of His matchless Dayaa and is enabled by the 
PaadhukAis, which transport Him on these rounds of travel.
 
3. The sacred  Paadhukais engaged in a noble mission of assisting its
Lord are introduced as the glorious Ones facilitating the kusala 
prasnam of Lord RanganAtha at each of the houses of the citizens of 
Srirangam  during the annual, Monthly uthsavam times and other 
sanchArams.
 
The padha prayOgams of Swamy  Desikan here are exceptionally 
meaningful. This is brought about brilliantly by SrImad AakkUr 
AaNDavan in His commentaries :
 
(a)" SrI RangEndhu:": SrI RangarAjan is qualified with the "Indhu" 
sabdham to remind us of His cool , nectarine DayA Svaroopam .He 
creates aanandham in us through His darsana prApthi.
 
(b) "ThAdhrusam": This word is used to refer to the Paadhukais of 
such glories as celebrated in the VedAs. Bhagavan"s glories (Roopam, 
GuNam, Vaibhavam, Supermacy/Parathvam) are well documented by the 
Veda manthrams. Paadhukais are the accompaniment and anuroopam of the 
Lord of such vaibhavam (ThAdhrusam Vaibhavam) and share His many 
glories as His SadAchAryan.
 
(c) " KamalayA saha kluptha-YaathrOthsava SrI:" : The Lord's 
Paadhukais (SadAchAryAs) and MahA Lakshmi are aj~nAtha nigraha 
Svaroopis (Those who are not known for their anger or punishment in 
contrast to their Lord, who can get quite angry over the trespasses 
of the rules of His SaasthrAs). They are eager to rush to protect the 
offending jeevans from their Lord's anger as avasara pradheekshars. 
They travel with Their Lord to create an excuse (VyAjamAthra 
saapEkshathvam ) to protect the bhaddha jeevan from the wrath of 
Their Lord .
 
(d) " Gathva GathvA ": Their ( Paadhukai's) Vaathsalyam and 
KaaruNeekathvam propels it to take Their Lord from house to house for 
the chEthanams to recieve Lord RanganAthA's blessings and KaDAksha 
anugraham. Normally, it should be the other way around and the 
ChEthanams are expected to rush to the Lord's side to recieve His 
blessings. The concern and the display of the sense of urgency
by the Padhukais brings the Lord to the house fronts of the citizens 
of SrIrangam.  
 
(e) " unnidhra-naadhA ": Customized kusala pracchnam is made instead 
of the general purpose inquiry about the welfare and kshEmam of the 
citizens .
 
(f) Svayam: Instead of sending some one else in its place to enquire 
about the well being  of the citizens , the Paadhukais comes in 
person and inquires after their yOga KshEmam.
