Sri:
 
GodhAm udhArAm sthuma: ( Let us eulogize the Generous GodhA )
 
Dear BhakthAs of GodhA PirAtti :
 
The detailed anubhavam of Godha Sthuthi is archived at :
http://www.sadagopan.org
 
under Desikan SthOthrams link .
 
In this short series , we shall highlight some specail words and passages
from the individual slOkams of GodhA Sthuthi of Swamy Desikan .
 
adiyEn invites you all to join in the Mutthangi Kaimkaryam on Aadi Pooram
day ( Aug 8) and the NaachiyAr Thirumozhi Dance drama on Aug 3 at
SrivilliputthUr  .
 
The Mutthangi for Sri RangamannAr and GarudAmsar , PeriyAzhwAr are
being readied and it will take few weeks beyond Aug 8 to complete those
Mutthangis . It is intricate work and there are not enough experts to rush
all the three Mutthangis at the same time so that they can all be ready on Aug 8.
We have therefore chosen to focus on completion of the Mutthangi for
ANDAL first so that we can realize our wish to make the samarpaNam to
ANDAL on Her birthday .
 
Prayer to HH The 26th Pattam Azhagiya Singar
***********************************************************
This Azhagiya Singar ( Ilanagar SriranganAtha YathIndhra MahA Desikan
is revered as an avathAram of ANDAL of SrivilliputthUr . Let us recite His
Taniyan before starting thsi series ofn GodhA Sthuthi :
 
SrIveerarAghava yathIndhra ParAnkusAdhi
  RaamAnujArya KamalAnidhi yOgivaryai:
SamprEkshitham karuNayA paripoorNaBhOdham
   Sri RanganAtha YathisEkharam aasrayAma:
 
This Azhagiya Singar (26th Pattam )is the son of HH the 25th Pattam
Azhagiya Singar , the GarudAmsar ( PeriyAzhwAr ) .
 
Godha Sthuthi Metres
****************************
The first 27 slOkams are set in Vasantha Tilakaa metre
and the last two are set in Maalini metre . This sthuthi is thus
like a garland ( Maalai ) strung from the flowers that blossomed
in the Vasantha Ruthu (Spring season ) and stays as a Tilakam
on the forehead of Lord RanganAtha .
 
GodhA Sthuthi SlOkam 1
**********************************                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           At the very outset , Swamy Desikan performs SaraNAgathy at
the sacred feet of GodhA as one , who has no other means
( Godhaam ananya SaraNa; SaraNam PrapadhyE ) . Swamy Desikan
celebrates GodhA as another avathAram of Periya PirAtti based on
Her kalyANa guNam of KaaruNyam ( KaruNayA anyAm KamalAm iva ).
Swamy recognizes Her also as the embodiment of the virtue of patience
and equates Her on that basis with  BhUmi Devi ( SaakshAth KshamAm ) .
 
Swamy Desikan gives two more particulars about His SaraNya dhaivam,
ANDAL :
 
1. She is like the boon granting Kalpaka creeper in the garden ( Kulam ) of
PeriyAzhwAr ( SrI VishNuchittha Kulanandhana Kalpavalli ) .
 
2. This Kalpaka creeper can not stand by itself . It embraces therefore
a Harichandana Vruksham found next to it in the garden of PeriyAzhwAr .
adiyEn surrenders to that KalpakA creeper embracing Lord RanganAtha 
Sri RangarAja Harichandhana yOga dhrusyAm , Sri VishNuchittha
kula Nandhana kalpavallem GodhAm ananya SaraNa: SaraNam PrapadhyE ) .
