SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,
Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:
936. yAyAyAyAyAyAyAyA yAyAyAyAyAyAyAyA
yAyAyAyAyAyAyAyA yA yA yA yA yA yA yA yA
That Paaduka, which collected revenue, being in the throne, which
ensures auspices for the devotees, which is the benefactor of True
Wisdom on devotees, which kindles a yearning for the good things of
life (which makes the devotee look to itself as the Supreme Deity),
which wipes out enemies (also the sins of the devotees), which after
attaining the Lord's Feet is for His travels, which helps bring the
Lord to us, and which is the Supreme Aid for the jivas reaching the
Highest Goal, that Paaduka has the distinction of solely being for
the Lord.
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
SlOkam 936: This sabdha chithram is known as
Ekaswara Vyanjanam or that which is revealed by
one intonation (Swaram). The split of the slOkam
into individual words to bring out the meaning are:
" Yaayaayaayaa , aaya , aayAya , ayAya , ayAya ,
ayAya , ayAya , ayAya , yAyAya , aayAyAya ,
aayAyA; yaa, yaa, yaa, yaa, yaa , yaa, yaa, yaa ".
The fourth quadrant is made up of 8 aksharams( Yaa) ,
which are the same . The first three quarters (Paadhams)
split differently . "Yaa" stands here for the PaadhukAs .
This slOkam is set in the MahA Yamakam with many chithra
Bhandhams : (a) yEka Svara chithram/with one swaram
(b) yEka varNa chithram / with one aksharam alone
(c) dhvisthnam and TAna chithram having sabdham
made by two positions in the mouth (d) slOkAnulOma-
prathilOma gathi chithram (e) gOmUthrikA , Sarvathobhadhram ,
KankaNa Bhandham , Muraja Bhandham , Padhma Bhandham
and other Bhandha chithrams. This slOkam also houses
the MahA Yamakam and VidhyunmAlA , which in turn contain :
ardha Yamakam , paadha chathurAvrutthi yamakam ,
PaadhArdha ashtAvrutthi yammakam , Paadha-shOdasA-
vrutthi yamakam and yEkAkshara thrimsadhAvrutthi
yamakam.
1. UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: The PaadhukAs are
the instruments to grant one the hard-to-attain siddhi of
Moksham; they have joined the Lord's sacrd feet to have
that power . The PaadhukAs are the residue of Lord VishNu
and brings Him to the people with blemishes to remove those
defects and also approaches the liberated souls , who frequent
the Lord's residence in Parama padham . This reality is made
possible because the Paadhukais rarely leave the Lord's proximity .
2.SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:The activities of the PaadhukAs
for both the aasrithAs ( those who seek their protection) and
the Lord as well is covered in this slOkam . The Aasritha Vaathsalyam
of the Paadukais is linked to their nithya yOgam ( uninterrupted
union ) of the Paadhukais with the Lord's sacred feet . The
Paadhukais are afraid to leave the side of the Lord for fear that
AasrithAs may be overlooked ( reference: Dhvandhva paddhathi: slOkam
7).
The Paadhukais become responsible for the great boon of Bhagavath
PrApthi and for the Lord's gain of those chEthanams , which would
otherwise have been lost in SamsAram . The Paadhukais remove
inauspicious happenings ( anishta nivrutthi) and causes auspicious
happenings even with a slight effort by the chEthanams to seek their
refuge. They generate tatthva Jn~Anam in SamsAris. They remind
the Lord often about the aasrithAs even though Lord is omniscient
(Sarvaj~nan). This is done by the Paadhukais because of their
affection for the Aaasritha janam. The Paadhukais make sure that the
Aasrithas never get associated with anya dEvathA worship for any
reason (over arTa-Kaama vishayams). The Paadhukais are ready to
defeat the external and internal enemies of the AasrithAs. They stand
by to take the Lord on SanchAram to generate the bliss for the eyes
of the AaasrithAs during the uthsavams. They stay in a state of
endearment to the Lord for enhancing the advantages of the AaasrithAs
and to help them gain Moksham . The PaadhukAs serve the Lord in the
most endearing manner to help the aasrithAs and stays in nithya yOgam
with their Lord for this purpose.
3. The many vyApArams of the Paadhukais(AchAryAs) are saluted
here : " Yaa aayAya " ( that Paadhukai which toils for the gain of
the aasrithAs as well as that of the Lord ); " Yaa aayAya "
( That Paadhukai , which strives for the gains of the aasrithAs
in the areas of enhancing their tatthva Jn~Anam , destroying
the enemies of the aasrithAs , perfecting their ParadEvathA
(Sriman NaarAyaNa's) aarAdhanam for protecting their prapatthi ).
For these reasons , the Paadhukais have gained the sambhandham of
their Lord ( aayAya A yaayA ). They become the objects used in
BhagavAn's sanchAram ( yAyAa ). They bring the Lord near
during anthima dasai or during the time of dangers to aastrithAs
( aayAyAya ). The Paadhukais enhance and perfect Bhagavath
Kaamam in aasrithAs( aaya+ aayA ). Those Paadhukais becomes
sEsha bhUtham ( being a loyal servant to their Lord for these
reasons of helping both the aasrithAs and their Lord
( Saa yAyA yaa aaya ) ...(V.S).
