> SRI PADUKA SAHASRAM OF SRI NIGAMANTA MAHADESIKA - An Introduction
> (Tamil): Translated by A. Lakshminarasimhan; Published by Rasibham
> Trust, 104/2, Sivaswami Salai, Mylapore, Chennai-600004. Rs. 100.
>
> THE PADUKA SAHASRAM is one of the most beautiful creations of the
> ripe intellectual grandeur and the poetic genius of Vedanta Desika.
> It is also, at the same time, an amazing monument of the unflinching
> devotion of the poet towards Lord Ranganatha in Srirangam.
>
> Desika is said to have composed this poem of 1008 verses in one
> night and silenced a rival. In one of the verses he says that if the
> grace of the Paduka is there, he could compose even a hundred
> thousand verses. This hymn has some of the most beautiful verses in
> Sanskrit literature. It is in the list of sacred works which
> orthodox Srivaishnavas chant everyday.
>
> There are of course, many translations of this hymn in several
> languages such as Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and English including word-
> to-word meanings, summaries and detailed interpretations.
>
> The present one is aimed at presenting the meaning of the original
> work in simple Tamil for those who are unfamiliar with Sanskrit.
> Hence it is called an introduction. It contains the original verses
> in Tamil script followed by an easy and fluent translation in Tamil.
> It also contains beautiful colour photographs of some deities. It
> carries a benediction of Srirangam Srimad Andavan Swamigal.
>
> This book will be of great help to those who cannot understand the
> original poem in Sanskrit. The translator is to be congratulated for
> his labour of love.
