SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,
Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:
931. lOkathArAkAmachArA kavirAjadhurAvachA
thArA gathE pAdharAma rAjathE rAmapAdhukA
The Paaduka of Lord Rama is capable of providing salvation to the
whole world. Its movements are lovable to all viewers. Master-poets
(like Valmiki) can hardly achieve a complete praise-poem on it. It
has sweet melody and effulgence. (It brings to our doorstep the
Lord's Feet!) So much is the greatness of the Paaduka! Yes, Yes!
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)
SlOkam 931: This verse is set in Ardha Bramaka yamaka bhandham.
In this geometric pattern , there are 64 squares(8 by 8) made up of
8 rectangles. The 32 aksharAs of this verse fit sequentially into the
first 4 rectangles. The remaining 4 rectangles accomodate the reverse
form of this slOkam starting from akshara 32 and ending in akshara
one.
1. UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: It is true : Raama PaadhukAs improve
the status of the universe. They have the movement with the Lord's
feet to improve the lot of inhabitants of the universe. Poets can not
describe completely their glories. They have a sweet sound , when in
motion. They have lustre and bring the Lord's holy feet to the
righteous. They shine with all of the above auspicious attributes ..
2.SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is: AchAryAs
incarnate in this universe on command from their Lord as well as
by their own desires. Their purpose is to protect the chEthanams
out of their infinite compassion. The people anticipate with joy
the sanchArams of these AchAryAs. Any one of the great poets can
not describe adequately even a fraction of the glories of the
AchAryAs. Their sanchArams will cause many auspicous happenings. They
will arrive with majestic and sweet words preceding them .. Wherever
they travel, they will banish nescience with their lustre. The Lord
arrives before the chEthanams due to their intercession . Their
upadEsams clear away the darkness in minds and reveal the Lord seated
in the heart lotus of the chEthanams.
3. The sacred Raama PaadhukAs shine in the following manner
( Raama PaadhukA aama rAjathE ) : They are the agents of protection
for those , who sought their rakshaNam ( lOka thArA ); They travel
wherever they wish without interference ( KaamachArA ) ; They have
the sanchAram that is enjoyed by all ( aakAma chArA) ; Their glories
can not be adequately described by even the greatest poets ( kavirAja
dhurAvachA ); they emante supremely effulgent rays and delightful
nAdham as they engage in sanchAram ( gathE taarA paadha raa
Raama PaadhukA raajathE )...(V.S).
