Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 766. avaDhIrithasADhupaDdhathInAmalasAnAm maDhuvaIripAdhukE dhvE itharEtharasAhacharyamitTham prathipannE iva dhaIvapoUruShE na: Oh twin-Paaduka! To us, who have forsaken the path of the good persons and who are also lazy in action, You two appear to serve as guiding spirit, representing in yourselves, the godly help and human effort. (Note Desika's glorious maxim here: Man should exert and God will help. One alone is not to be depended upon.) Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(V.S): SlOkam 766 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Madhusoodana PaadhukE! Both of You serve as Divinity(Dhaivatham) and Prowess (Human effort exertion) for us , who do not follow the rules of SaasthrAs (Divine injunctions) and who are lazy to take any effort to reach the Lord. We have no accumulated righteousness (Dharma) through good deeds sanctioned by the SaasthrAs. We do not initiate any action to reach out towards the Lord. We are thus deficient both in dharmAs and PurushakAram. For such destitutes and impoverished people like us, You, the PaadhukAs become both Dhaivatham and PurushakAram and thereby save us. 2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! For successful conclusion of undertakings , Dhaiva SahAyam and Manushya Prayathnam are essential. When one looks at the Lord's Paadhukais, they appear like doing the work of Dhaivam and Humans for the benefit of those , who seek their refuge. 3)Oh Madhuvairi PaadhukE! We ignore the ways of Saadhu janams and at the same time are lazy to take the initiative for for action ( na: avadhIritha Saadhu paddhatheenAm alasAnAm ). You as a pair are supportive of each other (itharEtarasAhacharyam prathipannAnAm ThvAm) and perform the work of both dhaivam and humans ( dhaiva pourushE iva).
