Oh Ranganatha Paaduka! There perhaps is a regular protocol in the
manner of presenting You to the Feet, Lakshmi in the first occasion,
Bhoomi next and Neela on the next. When however, it is the turn of
Lakshmi, Bhoomi cherishes the chance of touching You in her concrete
form of Earth, not being merely contented with her turn-that
privilege being unavoidable.
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
SlOkam 980
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubahvam : Oh RanganAtha PaadhukE! Bhoomi Devi
can not bear the seperation from Her Lord. She knows however of the
rigid protocol of who has to have the association of Her Lord and at
what time. Inspite of that, She develops a scheme to bypass that
protocol and to have contact with Her Lord at " all " times ,
(when He has to go on His SanchArams). During those sanchArams , His
feet are in touch with You (Paadhukais) and You are in touch with
Bhoomi DEvi, even if She has no direct contact with Her Lord's feet.
This auspicous situation makes Bhoomi Devi assume a big size (BhU
ManDalam) and this act elates Her. It appears that She has swelled
up with pride and attained the gigantic form as Earth due to the
blessings of frequent indirect contact with Her Lord.
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh SrI RanganAtha PaadhukE !
My statement alone that you are the sole recourse ( parama prApyam )
for the Tatthva Jn~Anis may not have sufficent authority . May I
suggest another pramANam that could be acceptable to all? There is a
well established protocol that is set regarding which Devi of the
Lord (Sri, BhU and NeelA DEvis) can present You to the Lord's
Thiruvadi on which day. This is strictly observed among them. Even
then, BhUmi dEvi comes up with a clever scheme to prolong the links
with Her Lord. She hides Her own roopam as a woman and takes on
the gigantic roopam as BhU MaNDalam and supports You (Paadhukais)
so that She can be close to Her Lord in an indirect way as well as
long as possible. This is a Parama PrAmANyam acceptable to all.
3) Oh Ranga PaadharakshE! BhU DEvi thought about the inviolable
protocol regarding which DEvi will present their Lord's Paadhukais
on which day of the week ( VasundarA avaaraNeeyam vaara kramam
vimrusya). She thought about a way to prolong Her sambhandham
with Her Lord compared to the other Devis and took on a gigantic
form (BhU MaNdalam ) hiding Her roopam as a lady ( PadhmA grahEapi
sTUlEna roopENa ) and is in contact with You and through that
association is linked indirectly connected to Her Lord ( sTUlEna
roopENa ThvAm sprusathee ). This is surely well known ( Pratheethaa
noonam ).. (V.S).
