Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 334. thvayyarpithAni manujaIrmaNipAdharakshE! dhUrbAnkurANi sulaBhAnyaThavA thulasya: sArADhikA: sapadhi ranganarEndhrashakthyA samsAranAgadhamanoUShaDhayO Bhavanthi Oh Manipaaduka! Durva grass or Tulasi leaves, easily available may also be used for Your archana; the Lord of Ranga-the great poison curer-by His powers magnifies their potency and transforms them, at the very moment of archana, into efficacious herbs with which the Samsara serpent could be quelled. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V. SatakOpan (V.S): SlOkam 334 *********************************************** (1) Abhinava Desikan's anubhavam: Here Swamy Desikan points out that the PadhukAs of the King of Srirangam are endowed with Supreme Power , just like its Lord. Swamy says: " Oh RangarAja PaadhukE! When human beings offer even a lowly blade of grass or the holy TuLasi leaves and worship You with them and with hearts full of affecton , they become objects of Your Lord's grace and become owners of medicine that drives away the ferocious serpent of SamsAram". ( DhruvA is a type of grass with small blades :aruham pull/panic grass . (2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam : Oh PaadhukE! Those who offer You even easy to obtain saamgriyAs like aruham pull or TuLasi, they get rid of the repated cycles of births & deaths. (3) Sri RanganAthan is a Vaidhyan , who removes the poison ingested from the bites of poisonous snakes of samsAram.He uses the humble aruham pull and Holy TuLasi as the powerful medicines to chases away the miseries of SamsAric afflictions. -------------------------------------------------------------- - SrImate rAmAnujAya namaH - To Post a message, send it to: bhakti-list@eGroups.com Search archives at http://ramanuja.org/sv/bhakti/archives/index.html#SEARCH Manage your subscription at http://www.egroups.com/mygroups
