SrI GopAla DEsika MahA DesikAya Nama:
 
SlOkam 939:
 
Paadhapaa  Paadhapaa  Paadhapaa  Paadhapaa
Paadhapaa  Paadhapaa  Paadhapaa  Paadhapaa
Paadhapaa  Paadhapaa  Paadhappa  Paadhapaa
Paadhapaa  Paadhapaa  Paadhapaa  Paadhapaa
 
( 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 .

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
 
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).

Sri Gopala MahA DesikAya Nama:
 
SlOkam 940:
 
SaakEtha ThrANa vELAjanitha tathanijaprAngaNa SrIprabhAsA
SaabhA prasrIDavyAm iyamamama yamivyApadhucchEdhilAsA
SaalAdhicchEdha tigmA havarururu vaha hrIkarasyAmarAsA
asaa RaamasyAngrimapyAjati na na nathijasTUlamuthrAtakE Saa
 
(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 .  
 
NamO NarayanAya ,
Muralidhara Daasan  
 
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
 
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 :
 
sAkEtha thrANa vELAjanitha tathanijaprAnkaNa SrIprabhAsA
sAbhA prasIDavyAm iyamamayamivyApathus-cchEdhilAsA
sAlAdhicchEdha tigmaa havaruru vaha hrIkarasyaamarAsA-
saaRaamasyAngrim abhyajAthi na na nathijasTUlamuthrAtakE
 
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).
