Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 438. rangEshapAdhakamalAth thvadhaDhInavrutthE- ranyEShu kEShuchidhalakshyamananyavEdhyam AmnAyagUDamabahirmaNiBhi: kvaNadhBhi- rnEdhIyasAm praThayasIva nijAnuBhAvam Or Do You announce through Your melodious sound-to persons who are close to You-Your greatness that lies hidden in the Vedas unknown to all else, that cannot be merely seen in all things in a common manner, and that is present only in the Lotus Feet (of the Lord), which have an existence totally dependent on You? Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V. Satakopan (V.S.) 1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Swamy Desikan points out that the knowledge about the glory of the PaadhukAs could be acquired just by listening to the PaadhukA naadham.The knowledge about VedAnthA on the other hand needs a demanding effort lasting many years and even then it is not clear whether one has fully understood , what one learned. PadhukA naadham in contrast distills the essence of VedAnthA as soon as one is blessed to hear it. Swamy Desikan says: " Oh PaadhukE! Your glories are hidden in the VedhAs and are not easy to know. You seem however to reveal Your glories to those , who approach You through Your delectable naadham made by the gems and balls inside Your toe-holds". 2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! When we hear Your sweet naadham, it appears as though You are speaking about Your glories to those, who are near You . Your Lord's Thiruvadi has equal glories . Your Lord alone knows about the matchless glories of Yourself and the Thiruvadis that are under Your influence . 3) The glories of the Paadhukais that are inseparable from the Lord's sacred feet are hidden inside the Vedhams ( aamnAya gooDam nijAnubhAvam ). For those nearby ( nEdhiyEsAm ) , Your sweet sounds seem to elaborate on those glories hidden inside the VedhAs ( KvaNadhbhi: abarhimaNibhi: nijAnubhAvam praTayasi iva)..(V.S). -------------------------------------------------------------- - SrImate rAmAnujAya namaH - To Post a message, send it to: bhakti-list@yahoogroups.com Archives: http://ramanuja.org/sv/bhakti/archives/ Your use of Yahoo!
