Sri:
SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,
Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:
918. charyAna: shoUripAdhu! thvam prAyaschithEShvanutthamA
nivEshyasE thatha: sadBhi: prAyaschitthEShvanutthamA
Oh Lord's Paaduka! You are unexcelled in moving the Lord to bestow
grace on us. We are committing sins continuously and the unexcelled
procedure of atonement and expiation for sins is a contemplation on
You. Hence Sadhus probably always keep You in their hearts, You of
undiminished Sri! (The interpretations of anuttama are included in
the above gist).
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(V.S):
*******************************************
SlOkam 918 : Paadha vritthi Yamakam Chithra formation
Yamakam refers to the repetiton in the same slOkma of words
or syllables similar in sound but different in meaning , a kind of
rhyme. The two paadhams have similar endings with the cluster of
words " PrAscchitthEshvanutthamA ":
CharyA na: SouripAdhu thvam prAyascchitthEshvanutthamA
nivEsyasE tatha: sadhbhi: prAyascchitthEshvanutthamA (918)
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhaavam: Oh Paadhukais of the Lord !
You are treasured in the hearts of righteous people since You are
the best of religious acts of atonement ( prAyascchittham) for
sins committed. You are the best in invoking Your Lord to banish
our sins and thus become the best of atonements".
Swamy Desikan suggests that the PaadhukAs , which have
the power of appealing to Lord and bring Him before the devotees
are even more effective than Sri Devi in pleading the cases of
sinners . The word "anutthamA " appearing twice in this slOkam
has different meanings in conformity with the PaadhAvritthi yamakam
pattern of this chithra style. The word "anutthamA " refers to the
Lord denoted by the letter "A" in the PraNavam in the first Paadham ;
in the second paadham, the same word means the One ( PaadhukA),
whose glory is unexcelled.
2) The inner meaning is that PerumAL , ThAyAr and PaadhukAs of
the Lord (SadAchAryAs) are inseperable from each other . In our
reflections (anusmaraNam ) , all the three of them have to be
included.
When one thinks of the Paadhukais of the Lord , it becomes the most
celebrated and powerful PrAyascchittham for all of our sins.Paadhukai
becomes the Utthama and PrAdhAna angam for all KarmAs.Reflections
on them at the end of the prescribed karmAs move the karmAs
to the succesful Poorthy stage.They serve as the adhvidheeya upAyam
for the growth of SrEyas and Kaimkarya Poorthy ..
3) Oh PerumAL's PaadhukE ( Souri Paadhu) ! Thou art the top most
among PrAyascchitthams , when it comes to removing our sins ( Thvam
Na:
prAyscchitthEshu anutthamA ). People performing karmAs experience
deficiencies ( lObham ) in ManthrAs , TanthrAs , KriyA , dhravyam and
niyamam
( Manthra lObham , Tanthra lObham et al) . As a result , the KarmAs
do not
reach completion stage. The SmaraNam and dhyAnam of Paadhukais by
the righteous ones fills these deficiencies and completes the KarmAs
(Tata: Sadhbhi: chitthEshu nivEsyasE ) . The charyA ( Observed rites)
becomes as a result superior ( anutthamA).
