Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 758. BhUyOBhUya: sthimithachalithE yasya sankalpasinDhoU brahmEshAnapraBruthaya imE budhbudhathvam Bhajanthi thasyAnAdhEryugapariNathoU yOganidhrAnurUpam krIdAthalpam kimapi thanuthE pAdhukE! BhUmikAnyA Oh Paaduka! The Lord's will is an ocean, which now moves and is now stagnant. The devas like Brahma, Siva and the like are of such a short existence as bubbles. To that Lord, who is beginningless, Your (another) incarnate, Adisesha, provides a couch (of fig leaf) for sleeping on at the time of the Deluge. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): SlOkam 758 1) UtthamUr Swamy: Oh PaadhukE! During the time of deluge, out of Your Lord's volition, Brahma , Rudra and others disappear like bubbles that burst. Another age of the world sets in. Even then , You (PaadhukA) do not disappear. Being a Nithya soori , You continue to serve the Lord. You transfer from being a PaadhukA(AdhisEshA) to a pupil leaf to serve as Your Lord's bed. Later, when the deluge is over and the world is released from the stomach of the Lord, You transform from that of a pupil leaf to that of a grear Serpent king , AdhisEsha to serve Your Lord in many ways. 2)Oh PaadhukE! In the ocean of memory of the Lord , (sankalpa Sindhou) there is strong movement some times and other times , it is quite still.In times of movement, the created worlds including Brahma , Sivan disappear like bursting bubbles (imE BrahmEsAna Prabhrudhaya: bhUyObhUya: stimitha chalithE Yasya sankalpa sindhou Bhudhbhudathvam bhajanthi). When it is tranquil, that Sankalpam produces the entire world from BrahmA downwards. During the time of PraLayam, Oh PaadhukE! You incarnate as a Pupil leaf fit for the Lord's playful sleep on the waters of pralayam ( anyA bhUmikA yugapariNathou yOgA nidhrAnuroopam kimapi kreeDAtalpam tanuthE)...(V.S).
