SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,
Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:
968. gOmAyUnAm malayapavanE thaskarANAm himAmshoU
dhurvritthAnAm suchirithamayE sathpaThE thvathsanAThE
thatthvajnAnE tharaLamanasAm shArngiNa: pAdharakshE!
nithyOdhvEgO Bhavathi niyathErIdhrushI dhurvinIthi:
Oh Lord's Paaduka! How much I hate this world! Fate is indeed too
cruel; but we can understand a few. Jackals will not relish the
Southern breeze; house-breakers will hate the moonlight although its
coolness delights others. Evil-minded persons would not entertain any
interest in a dharmic path, enshrining You as the deity of worship.
Vacillating minds do not endorse acquisition of true philosophical
knowledge; they would hate it and fear it too! This being so,
although by Fate, I disdain life on this planet.
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(V.S):
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukAs of SarangapANi !
Foxes are afraid of the gentle ,spring breeze; thieves are afraid of
the cold rays of the Moon; people with bad conduct are afraid of the
righteous ones, who are firm in their devotion to You. All these are
the result of fate. Therefore, while my mind is still clear, I want
to complete my act of total surrender to You an gseek Your
intervention to overcome the ills of this distressful samsAram .
2) SrIamth Andavan's anubhavam: Oh Paadhukai bearing all weapons for
the sake of protection of those seeking Your rakshaNam ! Since You
with svabhAvam of Daya like Your Lord have decided to protect me, I
have joined the path leading to You. For me, the sinful ways of
SamsAram have proven distasteful. It may be desirable to many ,
whether they proficient in SaasthrAs or not. As for me, There is no
compulsion for me to like this distasteful samsAram. The fragrant and
most enjoyable spring air may not be desirable to the foxes
of the forest and they prefer the damp unplesant and cold winds. The
thieves may not like the cool and bright moon. For them the darkness
of new Moon and the darknes of rainy night is preferrable. For those
who have no faith in any doctrine and run from one god to the other
with chapala chittham, the VedAntha mArgam rooted in SrIman
NaarAyaNan may not be desirable. For the aasura prakruthis, the
adharmic pravrutthi mArgam is preferrable over the uplifting
nivrutthi margam with moksha phalan. Such aasura prakruthis
do not have any desire to develop Tatthva thraya Jn~Anam . BhagavAn
directs His anger at them . It is terrible for me to be in the middle
of these aasura prakruthis. Therefore, You must move me away from
this debilitating prakruthi sambhandham. Thus laments Swamy Desikan
out of his nirvEdham.
3) SaarngiNa: PaadharakshE ! For the foxes , there is no great love
for the spring breeze (gOmAyUnAm malaya pavanE nidhyOdhvEga:
bhavathi). They detest it always. For the thieves , there is
resentment against the cool, bright rays of the moon ( TaskarANAm
himAmsou nidhyOdhvEga: bahavathi). For the one with despicable
conduct , there is no desire to follow the auspicous
path leading to You ( dhurvrutthAnAm sucharithamayE ThvathsanATE
saTpadhE nithyOdhvEga: bhavathi). For those with fickle and wavering
mind , there is distaste to seek Tatthva Jn~Anam ( TaraLa manasAm
tathvajn~AnE nithyOdhvEga: Bhavathi).The harshness of Your Lord at
such people is understandable ....(V.S).
