Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 540. avaImi rangEshvarapAdhukABhyAmakAlakAlyam viBhavam viDhAthum vajrEndhranIlavyapadhEshadhrushyam bandhIkrutham nUnamahasthriyAmam The Paadukas of Lord Ranganatha have imprisoned Day and Night in the form of diamond and sapphire in order to suggest to us that the rewards of Aishwarya and the like that the Paadukas would confer on one surrendered, are unlimited by time! Time is measured by night-day duration. Time becomes unreckoned, when Ahoratra (day-night) has been imprisoned. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): SlOkam 540: 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: This is one of the rare verses, where The PaadhukAs are not addressed directly. Diamonds refers to the days and sapphires to the nights. Swamy Desikan says: " RanganAthA's PaadhukAs resembling diamonds and sapphires help in the Lord's performance of His play at SrIrangam both during the day and night times. It looks as though the Paadhukais are imprisoned in the Lord's feet for that purpose. 2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! You have diamonds and blue sapphire gems . That reminds me of days and nights. The inner meaning is that Swamy NammazhwAr has imprisoned the day and night to grant mOksham to the jeevans. When one takes refuge in SadAchAryAs , both PuNyam and Paapam leaves one and Moksham comes within easy reach . 3) The eternal wealth beyond the power of time ( akAlakAlyam Vibhavam ) is Moksha sampath ( wealth of deliverance from the cycles of births and deaths). The enmeshing of the white diamond and the dark Indra neelam reminds one of the jailing of the days and nights (PuNyam and paapam ) to grant one Moksham ( Vajra –Indra neeal vyapadesa Dhrsyam ahasthriyAmam bandhIkrutham noonam )…(V.S). ------------------------ Yahoo!
