Oh Paaduka Devi! You, who never attached any importance to anything
other than the two Lotus-Feet of Raghava (of the famous Ikshvaku
dynasty) caused me to produce this poem, in Your praise-even as Sita
got Ramayana written by Sage Valmiki-both, as mere sport.
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
SlOkam 1005
1)UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! Being under Your spell,
SitA Devi got closely attached to Your Lord's feet and through Her
brother VaalmIki had the mighty ithihAsam knowna s SrImath RaamAyaNam
completed. In a similar vein, You have playfully made me compose this
huge eulogy about You ". ( SitA PirAtti was the daughter of BhUmi
DEvi. Sage VaalmIki was born in the house of white ants that grew
from the earth. Hence, he is also a child of BhUmi Devi and therefore
a brother of SitA Devi. Sage Valmiki did penance in that underground
house and became a supreme poet).
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam : Oh PaadhukE! There can not be any
blemishes in my eulogy of You! I was slightly befuddled and reacted
as though that I had composed this Kaavyam. What a delusion on my
part? The subject of this sthOthram is none other than Yourself and
You are also the author of this sthOthram. Just as SitA PirAtti
energized Sage VaalmIki to compose the ithihAsam celebrating Her, You
as Her RoopAntharam (other form) have blessed me with the power of
speech and Jn~Anam to be " the author" of this Kaavyam. These 1000
slOkams were created by You through me as a leelai to help the jeevans
to overcome their samsAric tApams. In view of Your authorship of
this sthuthi , there is no room for any blemishes in this kaavyam
bearing Your name ( RanganAtha PaadhukA Sahasram ).
3) Oh PaadhukA DEvi ! You who has taken sole refuge at the lotus
feet of IshvAku Naathan (Sri RanganAthan), have created this lofty
PaadhukA Sahsram as a playful act through me ( IshvAku NaaTa
padha pankajayO: ananyA ThvamEva mayA sveeyam sumahath
charithram nija kELi vasAth akArshee: ). This act of Yours is like
SithA DEvi's , who has no recourse except IshvAku NaaTan's
lotus feet had the ithihAsam about Her ( SrImath RaamAyaNam)
created by Her brother , Sage VaalmIki as a sport ( IshvAku NaaTa
Padha PankajayO; ananyA SeethA sahajEna kaveesvarENa
akArshee: iva)....(V.S).
