Sri:
SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,
Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:
Note: Unlike other sections, wherein import, interpretation and other
aspects of rhetoric are important, here in Chitrapaddhati, the
letter, the sound, the syllable are more important, not the meaning.
There will, of course, be a meaning given.
911. prathiShTAm sarvachithrANAm prapadhyE maNipAdhukAm
vichithrajagadhADhArO viShNuryathra prathiShTitha:
I surrender unto the Paaduka, which is the abode of all wonderful
things; on which the Paaduka stands firm, the Lord, who is the very
foundation for all worlds of a variety of kinds of mysterious
phenomena.
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
SlOkam 911
1. UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: This verse illustrates AnuprAsa
Chitram, which uses alliterations and repetition of similar leters ,
syllables or sounds. Swamy Desikan uses "Pra"( Pratishititham and
PrapadhyE ) and " Vi " (Vichithram and VishNu ).
Swamy Desikan says that the world is full of wonders.The basis for
this wonderful and multifacetted world is VishNu and He is firmly
established in the PaadhukAs as Lord RanganAtha/SrIman NaarAyaNa .
adiyEn surrenders unto those VishNu PaadhukAs , where the wonder of
wonders (SrIman NaarAyaNan ) is rooted .
2. SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Swamy Desikan salutes here the
Paadhukais of Lord RanganAtha, who is the abode of all chithrams for
the boon of Moksham. Swamy points out that the powerof the Paadhukais
to grant such a noble and gigantic boon arises from the reality of
the PaadhukAs keeping within itself comfortably the sacred feet of
the Lord, who is the basis (aadhaaram/support) for all the worlds
and who is the grantor of MOksham . By keeping Him under its
influence, Paadhukai is able to deliver the boon of Moksham to those,
who seek its refuge. The situation is the same with SadAchAryAs, who
have the Lord under their control/aadheenam ( SvAdheenam).
3. "Sarva chithrANAm prathishtAm MaNi PaadhukAm prapadhyE" is
the first group of words . The next set is : " Yathra vichithra
jagath aadhAra: VishNu: Pratishtatha:"
In the first group of words, the gem-studded Paadhukai is recognized
as the home of all chithrams(the captivating multi-hued lustre
arising from the MaNi Paadhukais). Swamy Desikan offers His
Prapatthi for the release from the bonds of SamsAram and to gain
Moksham (Bhagavath PrApthi). Swamy Has MahA VisvAsam in the power of
the Paadhukais to grant Him Moksham. Why does He think( believe) so ?
Swamy Desikan is convinced of the fact that the Paadhukais hold
firmly the sacred feet of the Lord inside them; further the
Paadhukais to respond favorably since any prayer addressed
to them is answered by the Moksham-granting Lord's feet ensconced
comfortably inside them. The Lord's indwellership in all objects and
His status as the sole grantor of Moksham is emphasized here.
