Srimathe RaamAnujAya nama: (154) visvam tvadhAsritha padhAmbhuja sambhavAyAm yasyAm prathishtitham idham MaNipAdharakshE aasIth ananyasaraNA samayE yaThAvath saa api thvayA VasumathI vihitha prathishtA Translation by U.Ve. Sri V.N.VenakatanAthan Swamy ************************************************** Oh PaadhukA ! The whole universe hangs on Earth , which was born out of the Lord's feet , which are actually later implanted on You. When this Earth was in a helpless state, it had to be rescued by You , at the right time. Rightly so ! Special Notes by V.SadagOpan (V.S): ************************************ (1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : The DevAs in heaven look upon Mothr Earth as their well wisher.That is why the Lord appeared as a wild Boar (BhUvarAhan) and brought back the stolen BhUmi Devi on His tusk from under the Ocean . When there was a vaccum in the succession to King DasarThA and when it looked as though Mother Earth had no ruler to maintain righteousness , You responded to Her sorrowful request and accepted the rsponsibility of ruling the kingdom . Thus ,You rescued Mother Earth from Her trauma. (2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam : Oh PaadhukE ! VisvambharA (Vasumathi/Mother earth) arose from the holy feet of the Lord that is being protected by You . When RaamA left for the forest , there was no one to protect the Raajya Lakshmi . At that time , You rememembered the Thiruvadi Sambhandham ( Your relationship to the Lord's holy feet) and came to Her protection . (3) Here Swamy Desikan reminds us of a web of relationships . The world is borne by Mother Earth ( Visvam thvath aasritha:); Mother Earth arose form the sacred feet of the Lord ( PadhAmbhuja Sambhavam ) ; Those feet are protected by the gem-studded Paadhukai . When RaamA gave up the kingdom in favor of BharathA at the request of His father , Mother Earth became ananya SaraNA ( without refuge/protection ) Oh PaadhukE ! on that tremulous occasion for Vasumathi (Mother Earth) , You protected Her in remememberance of the relationship between Mother Earth and SarvEswaran...
