Sri:
SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,
Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:
934. kOpOddhIpakapApEpi krupApAkOpapAdhikA
pUdhapAdhOdhakApAdhOddhIpikA kApi pAdhukA
The Paaduka commends, by its pity, even a worst sinner, who has
incited an extreme state if fury in the Lord by reason of his sins,
and gets perfect forgiveness by a ripe grace of the Lord. It is the
Paaduka that gives lustre to the Feet of the Lord-which Feet are
rightly famous for the stream of Ganga water flowing from it, which
is 'Sripada Tirtha' of the Lord and which is most purifying. How
could one ever praise the Paaduka in full!
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)
SlOkam 934: This verse is set in Thrayyakshara Bhandham . The three
aksharAs (Ka , Pa , dha ) in different cases constitute the verse.
1. UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Swamy Desikan says that the Paadhukais
are compassionate to the mighty sinner, who normally evokes strong
anger and disgust in others. The PadhukAs thus represent the height
of mercy. The waters used to bathe the PaadhukAs are holy and have a
purificatory effect. Those matchless PaadhukAs add lustre to the
Lord's feet.
2. SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is : AchAryAs
have unique PurushakAra PrakAram . They become very close (
antharangar) to the Lord. They have infinite affection for the
suffering chEthanams and have superior aathma guNams. They are adept
at Tatthva Jn~Anam. Through their influence with their Lord, they
reduce the anger of the Lord at sinners, who besought their
intercession and grow the anugraha sakthi of the Lord towards
these sinners. They correct the offending ways of the sinners and
display the power of their PurushakArathvam ..
