Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 765. ahithOnmaThanAya samshrithAnAmalamAlOkavashEna shabdhathO vA karayOscha raThAngapAnchajanyoU maDhuhanthu: padhayOscha pAdhukE yE Even as the Chakra and Sankha in the hands of the Lord, to ward off the unfavorable forces befalling a devotee acting through Effulgence and Sound respectively, the two Paadukas also do help with their effulgence and pleasing sound. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): SlOkam 765 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Here, Swamy Desikan compares the two Paadhukais to the sacred disc (Sudarsanam) and conch (Paanchajanyam) seen on the Lord's hands that have transformed in to two PaadhukAs. Just as the disc through its brilliant lustre and the conch through its terrifying sound destroy the enemies of the Lord's devotees , both of You (PaadhukAs) destroy the enemies of those , who worship You. 2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Our Lord has Chakram and Sankham on His two hands. He has two Paadhukais on His two feet. The lustre of the chakram and the terrifying sabdham arising from the Sankham remove the fears of the chEtanams. Similarly , the sight of the Paadhukais and listening to the sound generated by the Paadhukais remove all miseries of the world . 3)On the hands of the Lord are the disc and the Conch; His Thiruvadi has the two Paadhukais( Madhuhanthu: karayO: raTAnga Paanchajanyou cha , padhayO: PaadhukE ). By mere sight and sound of of them (Sankha chakrams and the Paadhukais) , they remove the dangers faced by those , who seek their refuge( PaadhukE alOkavasEna atha vaa SabhdhatO vaa samsrtithAnAm ahiTonmatanAya alam).
