Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 398. avanathavibuDhEndhramoULimAlA maDhumadhashikshithamanTharaprayAthA praThayasi parirabDhashoUripAdhA maNikalahEna viyAthajalpithAni You have evidently become infatuated with the honey drunk from the flowers in the garlands on the heads of the chiefs of the devas who are bent before You. And the Nada, generated by the mutual collision of the gemstones, as they closely embrace the Lord's Feet, appears to be some kind of bashless and bumptious chattering! (Version according to some commentators). Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes from V. Satakopan(V.S): Slokam 398: (1) Sri Uthtamur Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PadhukE! Your Naadham sometimes sound like the bold speech of a drunken wife , who embraces her husband and gets even bolder and thereafter gives assertive orders. When dEvAs prostrate before You , the fermented honey (madhu/wine) from their flower garlands decorating their crowns fall on You. You become intoxicated with that flow of madhu. You embrace Your Lord's feet and generate a Naadham born out of happiness (and intoxication). The Naadham emanting from You at that time is sweet and bold. (2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: In the ordinary world , some consume intoxicating drinks , embrace the one near by and utter loud and incoherent noises. In Your world , You consume the fermented honey from the flowers adorning the heads of dEvas prostrating before You , hold on to Your Lord's sacred feet and move uncertainly with a sweet Nadham through the gems housed inside Your toeholds . (3) Swamy Desikan describes first the swaying movement of the Paadhukai (manTara prayAthA) caused by the consumption of the fermented honey from the garlands ( MaalA-madhu) of the dEvAs( ViBhudhEndhrA:) prostrating before the Paadhukai . At the same time , the Paadhukai is hugging the sacred feet of the Lord ( Parirabdha Souri PaadhA thvam) . The joy arising from both the maalA-madhu and closeness to the Lord `s holy feet generates a special bold and incoherent Naadham from the quarrel of the gem stones inside the toe holds ( MaNi kalahEna viyAtha jalpithAni praTayasi) 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!
