Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 418. svacChandhaviBhramagathoU maNipAdhukE! thvam pAdhAravindhamaDhigamya parasya pumsa: jAthasvanA prathipadham japasIva sUktham vidhrAvaNam kimapi vaIrivarUThinInAm Oh Manipaaduka! When the Supreme Person embarks on a free sportive walk, You bear the Lord's Lotus Feet and produce a sound which looks like the chanting of a mantra to drive the enemy armies. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V. SatakOpan (V.S): Slokam 418 1) Utthamur Swamy `s anubhavam: Oh PadhukE! You join with the playful gait Of the Lord engaged in destroying the enemies of DevAs and generate sounds from the movements with Him .At that time , the naadham originating from You resemble rare incantations that chase away the enemies of the Lord. 2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! The naadham that You generate during the Lord's campaign (yaathrAs) against His enemies seem to suggest that You are reciting manthrams to chase away Lord's adversaries. The inner meaning is that Swamy NammAzhwAr enjoys the glories of the Lord's Thiruvadis in ThiruvAimozhi and blessed us with the manthrams housed there. Those manthrams chase away the kaamam , KrOdham, maathsaryam et al and get us close to the Thiruvadi of the Lord. 3) Oh PaadhukE! You have attained the Thiriuvadi of Your Lord , who has His own unfetterd sanchAram with You ( Pumsa: svacchandha vibrama gathou PaadhAravindham abhigamithavAn). The joy arising from Your bhAgyam results in the generation of a delectable naadham from You (PaadhAravindham abhigamya jaatha svanA ). That exhuberant and sweet naadham has the effect of a manthram that is repeated with every step of the Lord to chase away the army of the enemies of the Lord Â…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!
