SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,
Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:
978. ananyasAmAnyathayA murArE:
angEShvavApthEShu kirItamuKhyaI:
pAdhAvani! Thvam nijamEva BhAgam
sarvAthmasADhAraNathAmanaIShI:
Oh Paaduka! Each one of the Lord's ornaments fits in with one
particular limb of the Lord. The crown serves in respect of the
head, for example. Now, the head or the arm or breast can only bear
the ornament meant. But Lo! The Feet are meant for all souls to
cling, though the Paaduka is the ornament borne. That surely is a
unique generosity displayed by the Paaduka, that the Paaduka does
not monopolize but generously allows us to worship the Feet.
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(V.S):
SlOkam 978
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Swamy Desikan points out another
unique factor that distinguishes the Paadhukais over the other
accoutrements of the Lord like His crown et al. He says: " Oh
PaadukE ! The jewelery of the Lord like the crown do not fit other
limbs of the Lord and can not be used as an object of SaraNAgathy.
You however permit the Lord's feet that You adorn to be shared by
all JeevAs and make those holy feet the common property of one and
all. You are thus the most generous of spirit. The crown does not
let the Jeevans share its place ( the head of the Lord ).
2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam : How can I ever seek any purushArtam
other than You , when I am overpowered by Your matchless DayA and
generosity? All the other nithya Sooris adorning the Lord's limbs as
different aabharaNams do not let in anyothers to enjoy the limbs of
Your Lord with which they are linked. In contrast to them , Oh
PaadhukE! You let all jeevarAsis to seek Your Lord's Thiruvadi
and encourage them to perform SaraNAgathy at those holy feet in an
unfettered manner. Great indeed is Your Compassion and generosity .
Therefore, there is no reason to seek other PurushArTams .
3) Oh Lord's PaadhukE ! All the other jewelery of Your Lord starting
from His crown do not let anyone near the limbs of the Lord with
which they are associated ( MurArE:angEshu kireeDa mukhyai: ananya-
sAmAnyathayA avApthEshu sathsi). They are very possessive of
their domains. In striking contrast to them , You alone let every
one to approach with ease Your Lord's feet that You are protecting
and share that unsurpassed wealth without hesitation ( ThvamEva
nijam bhAgam SaadharaNathAm anaishee: )...(V.S) .
