Oh Paaduka! Yogis contemplate on the Lotus Feet, which are on You.
You assist the Feet for free walk; the dhyana on the Feet leads yogis
for a lovely auspicious progress to salvation. Your pearls and
corals, by their colour and appearance create an image of the Lord's
smile exposing pearl-like teeth and coral-like lips. Their mental
realization is pure white, undiscoloured by doubt and is permanently
bound in love (raga=red). The contemplation, the mind, the process is
totally yourself as such; clinging on to You, let us say. May I then
say that You have made the yogi-mind Your relative?
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
SlOkam 886
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh RangaNnAtha PaadhukE! Lord has
firmly placed His lotus feet on You and takes His celebrated and
auspicious steps with Your assistance. Righteous people meditating on
You think of Your Lord's red lips resembling BhimbhA fruit and His
sparkling white teeth, when they think of Your corals and pearls.
Through such associative thoughts, You make the thoughts of the Yogis
center on You for practising Bhakthi or Prapatthi yogam .
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE ! On You the Lord's lotus
feet are firmly placed. You take the Lord and the devotees that have
taken refuge in You along the high roads. You attract your devotees
through Your beautiful pearls and corals. You display the auspicious
attributes to grant mOksham to all from children to seasoned yogis.
They seek You out for Prapatthi as the ones, who have no one else
to come to their rescue ( ananya gathi: ). The inner meaning is that
Prapatthi anushtAnam is available to one and all (PaNDitha Paamara
SaamAnyam , SarvAdhikAram). That SadAchAryAs can make it happen for
one and all is the subtle essence of Prapatthi Saasthram.
3) Rang Bharthu: PadhukE ! Your Lord's sacred feet are well
positioned inside You (PraNihitha padha Padhmaa). You become the
reason for the Lord's auspicious sanchAram and for the Jeevan's
Moksha yaathraa(Thvam NaaTasya Subhatara gathi hEthu:). With the
beauty of Your pearls and corals, You raise the desire of people at
all levels --young unsophisticated ones to seasoned yogis--to perform
prapatthi unto You (ChAru mukthA pravaaLA chAru muktha aapraBhALA
Thvam Thvanmayeem chittha vrutthim janayasi). You turn their chittha
vrutthi ( activities of the mind) completely towards You ( MunInAm
chittha vrutthim Thvanmayeem svajanaysai)..(V.S).
