( Translation according to Dr.V.N.Vedantha
Desikan Swamy ):
The PaadhukA Purifies all movables and immovables
of sins
by means of its ablution water. The PaadhukAs take
care of
the beings in the leela vibhUthi as well as those
(MukthAs and NithyAs)
of SrI Vaikunta . The PaadhukA does good to those
dutiful persons
who kindly take care of their parents as their
duty and abandons
those people , who forsake this duty .The PaadhukAs
enhance the worth , stock of self-restraint and
equanimity in
the fortunate ones given to the drink of the nectar
of the LOrd's
delectable qualities . The PaadhukAs dry
up by its radiations ,
the enemies of its devotees and helps all , like
Indhra to discharge
their respective duities of their respective
offices .

SlOkma 939: This slOkam is set up again in
the Dhvan~jala chakra Bhandham . Many
other
sabdha chithrams are also included here .
This
slOkam can be fitted into the four-petalled or
eight
petalled or sixteen petalled lotus chakram with
"Paa"
or " Dha " at the center . Swamy
Desikan's extraordinary
genius as a poet is fully evident
here . He uses two of
the three aksharAs making up
the word , PaadhukA
( Paa and dha) to create a slOkam
with deep meaning
.
This slOkam has shOdasAvrutthi yamakam ,
where the word
"Paadhapaa " is repeated 16 times .
It consists of two
Uyir
yezhutthu ( A and Aa) and two meyyezhutthu ( Pa
and dha ).
It has SlOka , slOkArdha and slOka paadha anulOma
prathilOma
yamakam. It has three kinds of Padhama bhandhams
consisting of
4 , 8 and 16 lotus bhandhams
.
The splitting up of the words of this slOkam for
comprehending
the meaning are :
" PaadhapA , apaadhapA , aapAtha , paapA ,
adha , apA , pAdhapA,
paadha , paa , paadha , pApAdh , apApAdh , A ,
pApA , dha , pApA ,
aadha , paa , paadha , paa ".
1. UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: The PaadhukAs eat
up (destroy )
all the sins of the sentients and insentients
through the SrI Paadha
Theerttham . They protect the bound jeevans , who
form one foot of
the Lord . Oh PaadhukE ! They protect
also the liberated jeevans (nithya
mukthAs) as well as the BrahmAs of the various
yugAs . They protect
not only the Lord's feet but also protect those
who take care of
their parents and punish those who fail to do so. They enhance
the guNAs like Sama , dhama
et al for the devotees of VisNu
through
their brilliant rays.
2. SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Empowered by the
Veeryam of
the Lord , the Paadhukais as well as SadaAchAryAs
bless the ones,
who seek their protection with their sambhandham
, dhyAnam ,
Keerthanam and Prapatthi . They
steer the Jagath vyApAra
chakram as a result of their unshakable links
with their Lord .
The power of AchAryAs and the Paadhukais arise
from their
Bhagavath PaadhAravindha SamAsrayaNam
.
3. The Paadhukais that protect the feet of the
Lord , who
in turn protects the aadhikArika PurushAs (
annointed
Managers) like Indhran , BrahmA
and RudrA ( Paadha
A paadhapaa ) to stay in their appointed
sTAnams.
These PaadhukAs drink up (
destroy) the sins of
chethanams and achEthanams ( paadhapaa
paa apAdhapA )
completely . They have their powerful SrI
Paadha Theerttham
to root out all sins ( aapAdha pApa ath apA ).
They protect
BhagavAn's Iswaryam ( Prakruthi MaNDalam ) ,
which is one
fourth of His Iswaryam ( Paadha paa). They
also protect the other
third part , Nithya VibhUthi ( apAdha Paa).The
Paadhukais protect
one's parents and also those who have no
protection from sins
( PaapAth paa ; apApAth atthi ) . They
cleanse the minds of
those , who are steeped in Bhagavath Bhakthi ( "
A " paapA dha).
With their matchless tEjas , they dry
up aasritha virOdhis ...(V.S).

(Translation according to
Dr.V.N.VenaktanAthan Swamy ):
We go back to the times , when PaadhukA was
ruling over
AyOdhyA seated in the royal court , it spread its
splendid
effulgence over the whole courtyard - - its
effulgence of
Pure Knowledge , effulgence of its gratness and
fame.
The hall is filled with Vedic effulgence and is
capable of
rooting out all foes , that too in a sportive
manner
in the case of sages , who have totally
banished
conceit nd perception and removing the
tendency
to indulge in idle prattle. As Raama , as in this
Vishnu form ,
He extracted the "essence " of the foe , that is
, haughtiness
and bow(weapon) of the foe. As the fierce fight
was going on ,
it caused a sense of shyness, modesty and defeat
,
when Raama's elbow power became evdent
.
The PaadhukAs of that Lord recommends the poor
,
pitiable , people needing help , who bow to
the LOrd
in abject surender to the feet , Which
shines in
exhiliration .

SlOkam 940: This slOkam is set in Kavi nAmAngitha
ashta dhaLa
padhma chithram . This includes a lotus chakram with the name of
the poet , who composed this brilliant
kAvyam ( Venkatapathi
Kamalam) . Venkatapathi is the other name
for VenkatanAthan
(Swamy Desikan ) , the author of this
brilliant kAvyam . This slOkam
is used by the ladies of the house for worship on
TUESDAYS .
This slOkam is in SragdharA metre and each
paadham has
21 aksharams :

1. UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: This slOkam
celebrates SrI
RaamachandrA and His glorious deeds through the
salutation
to SrI Raama PaadhukAs . The slOkam says : " SrI
Raama PaadhukAs
have a natural lustre . They are known for the
fact that the VedAs
eulogize them . At TaatakA forest , these
PaadhukAs removed
the danger that the egoless yOgis faced . Later ,
when they ruled
over AyOdhyA and protected the citizens , the
sound that they made
created a glow around them . They remove the
sorrows of those
who have not perfected their sense of true
knowledge . These are
the PaadhukAs of SrI RaamA , who defeated Rudra
in war and which broke
the bow of Siva at Mythilai . They made
RudrA holding a deer in His hand
feel ashamed over his defeat . These are the
PaadhukAs commanded by
Raama to rest on the heads of His devotees . They
also make it posible
for RaamA's sacred feet to approach their heads .
They destroy asubha
sankalpams .
2. SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: In the 934th
slOkam , the focus
was on how the Paadhukais destroy the sins of
Paapis through some vyAjam
( excuse ) and uses their PurushakAram with
the Lord to accomplish that act.
Next , the Vaathsalyam for aasritha Janam ,
nithya yOgam with the Lord
were described . That was followed by the
examples of upakArams along
these lines such as ViswAmithra Yaaga
SamrakshaNam . Next the acquisition of
bhagavath guNams by the Paadhukais due to
Bahgavath sambhandham
was described . Now , the description of the
samrakshaNam of MahA Paapis
by the Paadhukais is continued . SaraNAgatha samrakshaNam as
Sarva Saasthra Saaram is
the theme here
again. The PurushakAra
Kaashtai of the Paadhukais in
persuading the Lord to protect
the saraNAgatha jeevans is described
.
3. The division by padhams (16 units) of this
long slOkam is as follows:
a) SaakEtha ThrANa vELA janithatha nija prAnkaNa
Sri PrabhAsA:
During its PaadhukA Raajyam at AyOdhya for 14 years , the Paadhukais had the glorious effulgence
arising from their gold and gems as they
sat on the throne of Raghus in
the middle of the raaja sabhai
full of
great learned souls
.
b) SaabhA : they possessed Kaanthi ( Keertthi
shObhitham) then .
c) prasree: the Kaanthi arose from the
eternal Veda Sampath
(SaamAnya &
Sookshma Jn~Anam
).
d) aDavyAm : In the TaaDakA Vanam ( during Yaj~na
rakshaNam).
e) Iyam : This Raama PaadhukA
f) amamayamivyApadhucchEdhithalaasA( amama +yami
+
vyApath+ ucchEdhi +laasA ) : That
PaadhukA with the playful
acts of protecting the egoless yOgis
from dangers that confronted
them in the TaDakA forest
.
g) Saaladhi-cchEdha thigma aahava ru hUm ruru
vaha hrIkarasya:
These PaadhukAs of the Lord
with its power made Rudra --with
the mark of deer in his
hand-- flee the battle field through
their hUmkAra
sabdham .
h) AamarAsasA : Those PaadhukAs , which removes
the ignorant
words and creates the good
tatthva Jn~Anam in aasrithAs .
i) Raamasya : Those PaadhukAs belonging to VishNu
Roopi, Raaman.
j) angrim : of the sacred feet of the Lord
k) (angrim ) abhyajAthi na : The Paadukais
recommend to the Lord's
feet to accept the aasrithan
as an object of protection .
( l, m , n) nathijasTUlam +utthrAtakE+ Saa:
After seeing the
bowed
head seeking protection , the Lord's
sacred feet are swollen with
joy about SaraNAgatha SamrakshaNa laabham
(gain) .This results from
the PurushakAram (intercession ) of the
dhivya PaadhukAs ...(V.S).
