samADhoU shaTajicchUdAm vruNOShi haripAdhukE
Oh Lord's Paaduka! Firm sins, in their numerous hordes, constitute a
dense forest of bushes and herbs. When they are removed iti is a
clear space. Such a cleansed heart is necessary for yoga to succeed.
That was Nammazhvar. You sat in his head so as to make way for the
delivery of his holy hymns for the benefit of the world.
or
The cleansed, pure heart of Nathamuni was fit for yoga practice. The
holy hymns of Nammazhvar were delivered to him. And from then on it
benefits the whole world; also by You (as Satakopa) sitting on the
heads of all people.
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
*******************************************
SlOkam 920: Here another chithram known as "apunuruktha
vyanjanam" is used by Swamy Desikan to salute Swamy
NammAzhwAr , Naadha Muni and the PaadhukAs . Punarukthi
means to repeat a statement or phrase or a word . Apunarukthi
is the opposite : nonrepetitiveness. Vyanjanam means figurative
or elliptical mode of _expression . In Vedic terminology , Vyanjanam
also means to decorate or adorn or annoint thoroughly Hence ,
we can assume that this sabdha chithram has the meaning of
nonrepetetive adornment. The "hul " aksharam mentioned once is
not repeated again anywhere in this slOkam to satisfy the rules of
Apunurukthi vyanjanam.
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Hari PaadhukE! You adorn
the heads of all. You transform the people with deep rows of sins
in to the righteous ones through the form of Naadha Muni , who
performed yOgA to gain Tamil Vedams from Swamy NammAzhwAr Himself.
Swamy Naadha Muni wanted to transform the sinners in to righteous
ones ( PuNyasAlis) through the propagation of the sacred
aruLiccheyalkaLs of Swamy NammAzhwAr. To accomplish this goal , He
reached a state of blemishless tranquility and won over inertia and
became Sawmy NammAzhwAr Himself and spread the wealth of Tamil VedAs
through the symbolic act of SatAri sitting on the people's heads to
bless them ..
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE that removes all the
blemishes of aasrithAs! You have the same tendency like your Lord in
the matter of those, who seek Your protection. It is because the
Paadhukais have their Lord 's Thiruvadi inside them.
3) Oh Hari PaadhukE ! Deep dhyAnam about You banishes the assembly of
all heinous sins ( BhADA agha aaLi jaaDa tucchE ) . You stay on the
top of Swamy NammAzhwAr's head (sezhum paRavai thAnErit-thirivAn tann
thALiNai yenn talai mElE ).BhagavAn has saanidhyam (presence) on Swamy
NammAzhwAr's head in rsponse to his deep dhyAnam ( SammAdhou
SaThajith chUDAm vruNOshi) . The Paadhukais attain now a delightful
roopam and makes ThiruvAimozhi luminous ( GaaTA aabhAnAya pulla
khE vruNOshi )...(V.S).
