Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 570. viviDhamaNimayUKhaIrvyakthapakshAm vichithraI: jalaniDhidhuhithusthvAm vEdhmi lIlAchakOrIm anishamavikalAnAm pAdhukE! rangaBharthu: charaNanaKhamaNInAm chandhrikAmApibanthIm Oh Paaduka! With the different coloured rays coming out from various gems, You appear like the Chakora bird, a pet of Mahalakshmi, which is eager to devour the full moon light (-appearance only!) resulting from the nails of the Lord's feet! Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.SadagOpan (V.S): SlOkam 570: 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Swamy Desikan describes the PaadhukAs here as the ChakOrA birds drinking the Moon rays arising from the Lord's foot nails. The mythical ChakOrA birds consume only the rays of the Moon as their nourishing food. The nails of the Lord's sacred feet resemble Moon's rays in their coolness , whiteness and nourishing capabilities. He says: " Oh PaadhukE ! The various colored rays emanating from the gems adoring You take the form of the winged chakOrA birds and drink the moon rays from the nails of the blemishless Lord, RanganAtha. The ChakOra birds consume these divine rays of Moon, who is none other than the brother of Sri Devi, who arose from the milky ocean like Her, when Her Lord churned the milky ocean". 2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! when I look at You , I am reminded of the pet ChakOra pakshi belonging to MahA Lakshmi. On You, I see white pearls, red rubies and black onyx. Their combined lustre reminds me further of the winged chakOra bird. You consume the rays of Moon emanating from the toe nails of Your Lord as the ChakOra Pakshi does. The inner meaning is that AzhwArs and AchAryAs enjoy the Lord always and are rich in their Jn~Anam and anushtAnams, while being the objects of enduring affection of MahA lakshmi . 3) Paadhukais is resplendent with many kinds of colored gems that reminds us of the wings of a colorful bird in flight ( ThvAm vichithrai: vividha MaNi mayUkhai: vyaktha PakshAm ChakOrim vEdhmi). You also looks like the pet bird that Maha Lakshmi has for Her sports ( Jalanidhi duhithu: leelA ChakOrIm vEdhmi). You stay under the sacred feet of the Lord of Srirangam and drink without let ( anisam aapiBanthIm ) the radiance of the rays of Moon (ChandrikAm) emanating from Your Lord's toe nails as the only food that is consumed by the ChakOra Pakshi ( avikalAnAm Rangabharthu: charaNa nakha maNInAm chandrikAm AapiBanthIm ThvAM Vedhmi)Â….(V.S). ------------------------ Yahoo!
