Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:
925. surakAryakarI dhEvI rangaDhuryasya pAdhukA
kAmadhA kalithAdhEshA charanthI sADhuvarthmasu
Ranganatha Paaduka- Good Paaduka, it can be referred to, as It does
the Devas' works. It grants whatever one asks for. It issues orders
conducive to the society. It passes through good paths. It is divine-
in all respects, like the Sruti (Veda).
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
*******************************************
SlOkam 925:
1) UtthamUr Swamy's insights: This slOkma is set in "dhvisrungADaka
chakra Bhandham ". This slOkma has also 32 aksharams
split in to two Paadhams of equal length . This Bhandham
uses 24 aksharams made up of 12 duets in two adjascent
circles :
surakaaryakaree Devee Rangadhurya-supAdhukA
kaamadhA kalitAdEsA charanthi Saadhuvarthmasu
The outter circle of this Bhandham has the portion of
the first paadham barring the last four aksharams ( Surakaarya-
karee Devee Rangadhurya). The inner circle has also 12 aksharAs .
It is however tied together in a specific pattern with aksharAs in
the outter circle to form a coherent pattern of words seen in
the second paadham . The sequence of aksharAs is as follows
based on the numbering scheme indicated in the chakra diagram:
---Su (1) , Paa(13) , dhu(14) , kaa(3) ;
kaa(3) , ma(15) , dhaa(16) ,
ka(5) , li(17) , taa(18) , dhE (7) ,
saa(19), cha(20) , ra(9) , nthe (21) ,
saa(22) , dhu(11) , va(23) ,rthma(24) and Su(1) .
THIS SLOKAM IS RECOMMENDED BY OUR ACHAARYAAS
FOR PAADHUKAA WORSHIP ON FRIDAYS BY THE LADIES
OF THE HOUSE .
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: In the previous slOkam , Swamy
Desikan recognized the incarnation of the Lord's Paadhukais ( Swamy
NammAzhwAr) for protection of the universe( lOka RakshaNam) and that
they facilitate Lakshmi KatAksham and has the glories(Vaibhavam) of
being celebrated in IthihAsams and Kaavyams. These references were
not made by Swamy Desikan for just praise (sthuthi). In this slOkam ,
Swamy Desikan points out that the Paadhukais in reality are helpers
(sahakAris) for the Lord to perform His dance on the stage ( Rangam)
at the BhUlOka Vaikuntam. The PaadhukAs fulfil the requests of the
DevAs (through anugraham), destroys the asurAs (nigraham),
establishes the codes of conduct (Vidhi) prescribed by Sruthis and
performs upadEsams to avoid those prohibited by the VedAs
(nishEdhams). The PaadhukAs move in the righteous path of Bhagavath
Kaimkaryam and sets an example for others to follow Them.
They follow the command of the Lord and conducts His affairs with
flair. If we comprehend correctly the svaroopam and SvabhAvam of
these sacred Paadhukais, all PurushArTams will be within our reach.
3) The PaadhukAs bless the DevAs with auspiciousness and
chase away the dangers experienced by them ( Sura Kaarya karee) .
The PaadhukAs are the enforcer of the commands of the Lord coded in
the Sruthi and Smruthi as His Aj~nAs( klaitha aadhEsA) .They travel
in the path of the righteous ( Saadhu varthmasu charanthee) . She is
the Devi for the Lord , who delights in performing His dance of
creating, protecting and dissolving the world and helps Him with that
dance (Rangadhuryasya Devi PaadhukA ). She fulfills the wishes of
those , who seek Her help and protection ( KaamadhA Devi PaadhukA)...
