Oh Paaduka! As the Lord Ranganatha, in Srirangam as in the stage that
the whole world is, being the chief stage-manager, takes many garbs
suited to the occasion, small or big, You also adapt Yourself to all
His roles. All for the drama of world-Safe-guarding.
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
slOkam 799
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! Lord of SrIrangam
performs in many dramas. You participate in every one of these dramas
orchestrated by Him and take the appropriate form so that His efforts
to help the world become fully successful.
Swamy Desikan considers PaadhukAs as an accomplished lady dancer ,
who accompanies the cherographer every step of the way in the many
dances that He performs. For instance , when the Lord took the form
of VaamanA, PaadhukAs became small to fit His tiny feet; when He
became gigantic as ThrivikramA, the PaadhukAs grew without missing a
beat. PaadhukAs are never out of step with the Lord, the Master
dancer/cherographer.
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:The inner meaning is that the AchAryAs
help the Lord at all times, when our Lord takes an avathAram to
protect the world and its beings. Our Lord asked Swamy NammAzhwAr to
help Him in Kali yugam and he incarnated and blessed us with his
dhivya Prabhandhams in Tamil. Like that the AchAryAs follow the
Lord's commands in different ways.
3) SrIrangam is the dance stage of RanganAthan ( Ranga PraTitha
vibhavan Rangan). There He is the master conductor and orchestrates
every thing (Soothra dhAra vrutthi) for His dance. On that stage , He
appears short as Vaamana or tall as Thrivikrama befitting His chosen
role ( Tath vrutthE: anuguNathayA VaamanIm , vyApaneem vaa
bhUmikAm prApthavAn). Oh PaadhukE! You assume appropriate forms
befitting those occasions and join Your Lord in those great dances (
VisvasTithi mahAnADikAm nEthukAmA narthakeeva nAnAsamsTA bhavathi)...
