Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 558. AkIrNamoUkthikaharinmaNipadhmarAgAm amBhOjalOchanapadhAvani! BhAvayE thvAm thathpAdhavishramajuShAm shruthisundharINAm varNOpaDhAnamiva moULinivEshayOgyam Oh Paaduka! You serve with the pearl, emerald,a dn ruby gems on You, as good pillows to the Veda-damsels who tend to rest on the Lord's Feet and recline with their heads (Vedantas) to rest on You! Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.SatakOpan (V.S): SlOkam 558: 1) UtthamUr Swamy'as anubhavam: Oh Paadhukais of the lotus-eyed Lord ! through the patterns of radiations emanating from your pearls, emeralds and rubies, You appear like a multi-hued pillow at the feet of Your Lord for the VedAs taking rest at those feet of Your Lord. ( VedAs and Upanishads are at the feet of the Lord to sing His glories. PaadhukAs with its iridiscent radiations are also at the Lord's feet. Swamy Desikan imagines here that the Paadhukais serve as a pillow for the resting of the Vedic ladies, who have travelled over long distances to reach the Lord's feet ). 2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that VedAs worry about teaching the auspicious matters to the Jeevans. The Jeevans go ahead and intrepret the meaning of the Vedams in the way they please. Those Vedams are resting at the feet of the Lord. After the composition of the AzhwAr's prabhandhams, the Vedams are no longer worried about misintrepretations of their meanings and rest comfortably at the Lord's feet. AzhwAr's paasurams are like the silk pillows. VaishNavAs understand now clearly the VedArthams. 3) The many colors of the different gems on the Paadhukais remind one of a mulit-hued pillow at the feet of the Lord ( aakIrNa moukthika HarinmaNi PadhmarAgAm ThvAm ). That pillow reminds me further of the Vedic ladies taking the form of women resting at the feet of the Lord on top of this multi-hued pillow ( Tadh Paadha visramajushAm sruthi sundarINAm mouLi nivEsa yOgyam varNopadhAnamiva bhAvayE )Â…(V.S). ------------------------ Yahoo!
