Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 974. sakrudhapyanuBhUya rangaBharthusthvadhupashlEShamanOharam padhAbjam apunarBhavakoUthukam thadhaIva prashamam gacChathi pAdhukE! munInAm Oh Paaduka! The beautiful Feet-lotus of Ranganatha in combination with You would suffice to be enjoyed once. Then even great sages would forget their usual craving for non-re-birth, so that they may be born in the world again and secure this enjoyment. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(V.S): SlOkam 974 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: The sages who have experienced and enjoyed the lotus feet of Your Lord , RanganAtha in companionship with You do not wish for Moksham , which prevents them from being born again. They want to take another birth to enjoy the pleasures of association with Your Lord's holy feet supported by You with affection. They lose their interest in Moksham , which will give them only freedom from the cycles of births and deaths. 2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that for the BhagavathOtthamAs engaged always in performing Kaimkaryams for SadAchAryAs , who in turn are steeply immersed on the dhyAnam of the Lord , do not seek even Paramapadham .This reveals that there is no Parama PurushArTam beyond kaimkaryams to SadAchAryaas for the BhagavathOtthamAs . This is their Parama PrApthi . Swamy Desikan cites the experience of sages like VasishtA here , who are deeply absorbed in the practise of Bhakthi yOgam dealing with uninterrupted dhyAnam of the Lord's holy feet assoicated with You ( Paadhukais). Once that dhyAnam takes root , that joyous experience makes them forget about the desire for apunarbhava mOksham ; they put up with the samsAric discomforts for sustaining the bliss of dhyAnam of Your Lord's feet in close contact with You. The moksha dhvarai ( the urgency to seek moksham ) is gone for them. 3) For sages like VasishtA , the longing for Moksham is subdued instantly (muneenAm tadhaiva apunarbhava kouthukam prasamam gacchathi) . How does that happen ? It happens when they enjoy even for once the most enchanting sight of the union of Yourself with Your Lord's sacred feet ( MuneenAm ThvadhupaslEsha manOharam Rangabharthu: padhAbhjam sakrudhapi anubhUya prasamam gacchathi)...
