Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 566. shankE padhAvani! sadhA parichinvathI thvam rangEshithuscharaNapankajasoUkumAryam agrE mahOBhiraruNOpalamoUkthikAnAm prAjyAm vinikshipasi pallavapuShpapankthim Oh Paaduka! I fain imagine that the red gems and pearls are tender leaves and flowers spread on You, by Your own self, in view of the high tenderness of the Lord's Feet! Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): SlOkam 566 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE!You enjoy the softeness and beauty of Your Lord's lotus feet. As He travels on You, adiyEn visualizes the combined lustres of pearls and rubies adorning You as abundant rows of creepers and flowers. 2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! There are red rubies and white pearls on Your surface. When Your Lord travels adorning You, their lustre spreads all around. That scene brings the thought that You spread tender creepers and flowers on the hard, stony path overwhich Your Lord has to travel. This way, You protect His soft feet from being hurt by the harsh stones & thorns. The inner meaning is that Swamy NammAzhwAr softens the hard hearts of people by upadesams on the auspicious attributes of the Lord and prepare them (hard-hearted ones) to receive PerumAL in their hearts. AchAryAL's upadesam and anugraham are thus important to raise PeriumAl consciousness in people . 3) Oh RangEsa PadhAvani! You always enjoy the softness of Your Lord's sacred feet(Thvam SadhA CharaNa Pankaja soukumAryam parichinvathy) . In Your front portion, the effulgence of the red rubies and the white pearls are dominant. Their assembly looks like the spreading of many rows of red flowers and tender creepers( Thvam agrE aruNOpala MoukthikAnAm mahObhi: pallava-Pushpa prAjyAm pankthim vinikshipasi sankE)Â… This way , You seem to spread the soft flowers and tender creepers before Your Lord's path Â…..(V.S) ------------------------ Yahoo!
