Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 353. punarukthapithAmahAnuBhAvA: puruShA: kEchidhamI punanthi vishvam maDhuvaIripadhAravindhabanDhOraparAgAsthava pAdhukE! paragaI: Oh Paaduka! There are these few Sadhus, who have no other love and who have received the dust from You, and for that reason, purify the whole world by their existence. Their greatness is so much that one imagines them to be Brahmas, other than the one who is charged with the duty of creation. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.SatakOpan (V.S): SlOkam 353 *********************************************** (1) Sri Utthamur Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! You are closely related to the lotus feet of MadhusUdhanan.Through their association with Your dust specks , a fortunate few attain a superior status that helps them to cleanse this universe through their mere presence. Their status is superior to that of BrahmA by a two fold measure. (2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PadhukE ! Whoever that receives the dust particles associated with You on their head do not long for anything but Your Lord. Even the attainment of the status of Brahma does not interest them.The inner meaning is that those who have been blessed with Swamy nammAzhwAr's katAksham lose all desires except the one to perform kaimkaryam for PerumAL. (3) Here Swamy Desikan salutes the Lord's Paadhukai as , " Madhuvairi padhAravindha Bhandhu". He says that the bhAgyasAlis who have received the parAgs of the Paadhukai attain a status twice more noble than that of BrahmA ( Punaruktha PithAmaha anubhAvA:) and are freed of all desires ( aparAgA :) and cleanse the universe through their presence (amee visvam punanthi)...(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!
