Meaning according to Dr.V.N.VedAntha Desikan
Swamy :
Oh PaadhukA ! Your effulgence is itself adequate
to annihilate
the asura clan. of the TamO guNaa . Brahma and
the like who are your
servants , pay obesiance to You . You are an
embellishment to
the feet of SrI Raama . You eliminate all my sins
totally.
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: This and the
next verse form a duet of
verses representing " Bhinna Vruttha
PRATHILOMA gOmuthrikA bandha
padhya dhvayam . SlOkams 943 & 944
represented "bhinna vrutthhi
ANULOMA gOmuthrika bhandha Padhya dhvayam
".
Here , Swamy Desikan says: " Oh PaadhukE ! You
are adorning RaamA's feet
and with Your prowess have destroyed the
community of asurAs . You are
being worshipped by Brahma and other devoted
servants of Yours. You remove
all of my sins.
2. Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning
is that SadAchAryAs
like the Lord's Paadhukais are capable of
destroying the demonic nature
(aasura svabhAvam ) of people . They are powerful
to chase away the enemies
of people of Saathvic nature and enhance their
satthva guNam further , which
in turn prepares them to reach the limits of
being the servants (Seshathva
Kaashtai) to the Supreme
Lord . They are pristinely pure like
the Lord's
sacred feet and removes all the blemishes of
those , who seek them as
refuge.They are thus highly qualified to destroy
the aasura svabhAvams ,
counter Satthva Naasam ( destruction of Satthva
guNam ) and eliminators of
virOdhis for serving as the servants of the Lord
as a chosen way of life .
3. Oh PaadhukE (hE Paadhu ) ! You are known for
Your tEjas(lustre)
which destroys the people filled with TamO guNams
( DhAma nirAkrutha
tAmasa lOkA ). You are worshipped by Your
servants like Brahma ( dhAthru-
mukhai: daasai: vinathA ). You adorn
the sacred feet of Lord Raaghavan
( VibhUshitha Raaghava PaadhA ) . Oh PaadhukE !
You remove entirely
all my sins ( Thvam mE pApam asEsham apApurushE
)...(V.S).
SlOkam 946
SrI GopAla Desika MahA DesikAya
Nama:
krupanAga-thrAtha subhUradhrushtA
mEdhyA ruchA pArishadhAmabhUpA
Padhavani! sthyAnamukhairna trupthA
kAnthyA samEthAdhikrutha anirOdhA
Meaning according to Dr.V.N.VedAntha Desikan
Swamy :
Oh PaadhukE ! You see to it that the sacred land
you reigned
over suffered no grief wahtsever. It was Your
great grace .
Faultless , effulgent , You had Your court filled
with kings ,
whose affluence was of a faultless nature .You
never get
satisfied with the bliss that you derive by
enjoying close
contact with the Lord's feet , nor with the
bliss You secure
for devotees by way of their enjoyment of the
feet .You have
powers to increase the bliss further and further
; and there
is no impediment to this role of Yours
.
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Oh PaadhukE ! You
seem not to be
entirely satisfied with the intimate attachment
with the Lord's feet . With Your
lustre and desire
, You get power and without any let , You guard this earth
with compassion . Without any blemish , You
purify through Your lustre
all the kings of the universe including BharathA
.
2) SrImath Andavan anubhavam : The inner meaning
is : The SadAchAryAs
are easy to worship based on their auspicious
attributes , ease of access ,
qualifications , readiness to respond . Their
worship removes sorrows
and blemishes , creates purity and enhances
Saathvika guNam
in preparation for reaching the limits of
observing the Lord (Seshathva
Kaashtai). Hence , the arrival of such
SadAchAryAs in our midst is
worthy of prayers .
3) Oh PaadhukE ! You have the power and dayA
to protect the land
between Vidhya and
HimalayA mountains/AaryA Vartham ( hE PaadhAvani !
Thvam krupA anaga thrAtha subhU: ). You are
blemishless (adhushtA ).
You are pure through Your lustre ( RuchA mEdhyA
).You belong to
the assembly of Saadhu Janams ( ParishadhA ). You
are the protector
of Earth ( bhUpA ). You are the One , who is not
satisfied with the contact
with the sacred feet of Your Lord ( sthyAna
sukhai: na thrupthA ).
You are with desire ( kAnthyA samEthA ). You have
the power of
Office ( adhikruthA ) .Oh PaadhukE ! You are
uninterruptable
( anirOdhA). Please appear before me ( Thvam aama ) !
