SlOkam 943  
kanakapeeDa nivishta tanustadhA  
Sumathy dhAyinijAnubhavasmruthA 
vidhisiva pramukair abhivandhithA

Meaning according to Dr.V.N.VedAntha Desikan Swamy 
: 
Hail its victory ! Victory to the PaadhukA , which 
, when it  
reigned over the kingdom , was majestically seated 
on a gold 
throne ; its contemplation in one's heart , even a 
momentary  
recalling of the PaadhukA , will confer 
an  effective blossoming 
of one's faculty of the mind , its worshippers 
include Brahma  
and SivA .Victory to that PaadhukA ! 
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):  
This slOkam is jointly studied with the next ( 
944th ) slOkam . 
These two slOkams form together a pair to exemplify 
a type of poetry 
known as " Bhinna vrutthAnulOma gOmUthrikA bhandha 
padhya 
dhvayam ". The two slOkams (943 & 944) have 
seperate vrutthams/ 
metres (Bhinna-vruttha Bhandha padhya dhvayam) : 
SlOkam 943  
is in dhruthaviLambhitha  Vruttham and 
slOkam 944 is in SragviNee  
Vruttham . 
1) UtthamUr  Swamy's anubhavam: SrI Raama 
Paadhukais sat on  
the golden throne of Raghus . At that time , the 
noble-minded PaadhukAs  
conferred  the boon of true Jn~Anam . 
Remembering their  attributes and  
experience, they are saluted by Brahma , RudrA and 
others with special 
affection .  
2. Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: In the previous 
slOkam , Swamy  Desikan  
prayed for the boon of "TadEka sEsha Vrutthi " 
(performing Kaimkaryams to 
the Paadhukais alone) . When the Paadhukais 
responded favorably to 
his prayer , Swamy Desikan becomes joyous 
and pours out his eulogy of 
the most merciful PadhukAsand hails them . The mood 
here is JayAseer- 
vAdhams or hailing victory to the PaadhukAs. 
 May there be victory to 
the Paadhukais which sits on  a golden seat 
inside Sriranga VimAnam  
just as it did in the time of AyOdhyA Raaman 
through sitting  on a similar 
golden seat ( the throne of Raghu Vamsam kings ) ! 
May there be victory  
to the Paadhukais , which at Srirangam ( 
archai) as well as in AyOddhi 
(VIbhavam) blessed one and all to acquire true 
Jn~Anam ! May  there be 
victory to the Paadhukais , which were worshipped 
by Brahma and Rudra  
both inside the Ranga VimAnam as well as at the 
time they reigned as  
the representative of the Lord at AyOddhi . 
 Victory to the Paadhukais  
which defeats the dhushta RaakshasAs as well as my 
dhushta manas ! 
May the Paadhukais of such multiple , auspicious 
attributes shine forever 
with Vijaya SrI ! 
3. Those Paadhukais sat on the golden throne of the 
kings of Raghu 
Vamsam at AyOddhyA with its majestic body ( TadhA 
kanaka peeDa  
nivishta tanu: ) . They have the power to bless us 
with sumathy ( MInd 
known for its clarity and possession of true 
Jn~Anam ) . They are 
powerful to bless the devotee with the nectar of 
anubhavam about 
them through dhyAnam (nija anubhava smruthA ) . 
They are worshipped by 
Brahma and Sivan et al ( Vidhi Siva pramukhai: 
abhivandithA ) . May those 
Raama Paadhukais be victorious always ( Raghu 
Pungava PaadhukA 
vijayathE ) ! 
SlOkam 944 
SrI GopAla Desika MahA DesikAya Nama: 
dheena gOpijaniklishta bheenuth sadhA 
Raama PaadhAvani ! SvAnubhAvasTithA  
yEdhi mEvasyam uthArabhAvasrithA 
tEjasA tEna gushtim gathA paalikA  
Meaning according to Dr.V.N.VedAntha Desikan Swamy 
: 
Oh Raama PaadhukA ! Innocent Gopi damsels 
were 
relieved of grief and 
fear  about re-birth , KamsA's atrocities 
and seperation from their Lord . Oh PaadhukE ! You 
possess 
an inherent grandeur that is unsullied because You 
are not in any 
want . Your effulgence arises from Your ability to 
elevate the lowliest 
to the level of being salvaged . May You please 
be  my Protectress ! 
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): 
1) UthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Oh Raama PaadhukE ! 
You removed  
the sorrows , fear and repeated births in the world 
for the meek gOpis. 
You are conscious always of Your glory and intent 
on rescuing those  
in difficult situations through the exercise of 
Your power. You are  
celebrated for such valorous deeds . May Thou 
without fail be My  
Protector ! 
2) SrImath Andavan anubhavam : Here the salutation 
is to the tEjas of 
the Paadhukais. During the KrishNAvathAram , You 
removed the fears of 
Gopikais in this and the other world. Your mahimai 
can not be assailed by 
any one including Brahma , Rudran and ohers . Your 
lustre helps samsAris 
to ovecome their deficencies . May YOur tEjas 
maintain sEsha vrutthi for me  
and prevent our misfortunes !  
3)  Oh Raama PAdhaavani ! You removed the 
distress of the meek Gopis  
and provided them with the path for Moksham( 
dheena gOpee  jani klishta). 
You removed the fear from dEvAs like IndhrA ( Bhee 
nuth ). They are steeped 
in the anubhavam  of Bhagavath Bhakthi ( 
 svAnubhAva sTithA ). It has acquired 
the power to lift up the muktha jeevan via the 
path of light ( UtthAra Bhava srithA ). 
They have become elated over their tEjas (tEjasA 
gushtim gathA ) . May those 
Paadhukais remain as my protector always ( mE 
paalikA yEdhi )
