Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:

Note: Unlike other sections, wherein import, interpretation and other 
aspects of rhetoric are important, here in Chitrapaddhati, the 
letter, the sound, the syllable are more important, not the meaning. 
There will, of course, be a meaning given.

911. prathiShTAm sarvachithrANAm prapadhyE maNipAdhukAm
     vichithrajagadhADhArO viShNuryathra prathiShTitha:

I surrender unto the Paaduka, which is the abode of all wonderful 
things; on which the Paaduka stands firm, the Lord, who is the very 
foundation for all worlds of a variety of kinds of mysterious 
phenomena.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan


Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
 
SlOkam 911
 
1. UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: This verse illustrates AnuprAsa 
Chitram, which uses alliterations and repetition of similar leters ,
syllables or sounds. Swamy  Desikan uses "Pra"( Pratishititham and
PrapadhyE ) and " Vi " (Vichithram and VishNu ). 
 
Swamy  Desikan says that the world is full of wonders.The basis for
this wonderful and multifacetted world is VishNu and He is firmly 
established in the PaadhukAs as Lord RanganAtha/SrIman NaarAyaNa .  
adiyEn surrenders unto those VishNu PaadhukAs , where the wonder of
wonders (SrIman NaarAyaNan ) is rooted .
 
2. SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Swamy  Desikan salutes here the 
Paadhukais of Lord RanganAtha, who is the abode of all chithrams for 
the boon of Moksham. Swamy points out that the powerof the Paadhukais 
to grant such a  noble and gigantic boon arises from the reality of 
the PaadhukAs keeping within itself comfortably the sacred feet of 
the Lord, who is the basis (aadhaaram/support) for all the worlds 
and who is the grantor of MOksham . By keeping Him under its 
influence, Paadhukai is able to deliver the boon of Moksham to those, 
who seek its refuge. The situation is the same with SadAchAryAs, who 
have the Lord under their control/aadheenam ( SvAdheenam).
 
3.  "Sarva chithrANAm prathishtAm MaNi PaadhukAm prapadhyE" is
the first group of words . The next set is : " Yathra vichithra 
jagath aadhAra: VishNu: Pratishtatha:"
 
In the first group of words, the gem-studded Paadhukai is recognized 
as the home of all chithrams(the captivating multi-hued lustre 
arising from the MaNi Paadhukais). Swamy  Desikan offers His 
Prapatthi for the release from the bonds of SamsAram and to gain 
Moksham (Bhagavath PrApthi). Swamy Has MahA VisvAsam in the power of 
the Paadhukais to grant Him Moksham. Why does He think( believe) so ? 
Swamy Desikan is convinced of the fact that the Paadhukais hold 
firmly the sacred feet of the Lord inside them; further the 
Paadhukais to respond favorably since any prayer addressed 
to them is answered by the Moksham-granting Lord's feet ensconced 
comfortably inside them. The Lord's indwellership in all objects and 
His status as the  sole grantor of Moksham is emphasized here.
