Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 828. prathipadhachapalApi pAdhukA raGhupathinA svapadhE nivEshithA samajani niBhruthasThithisthadhA Bhavathi guNa: shriyamaBhyupEyuShAm The Paaduka is vacillating as during walking. When Rama appointed the Paaduka as the deputy for being enthroned, the very moment it became firm-fixed in position. This is an illustration for the rule that attainment of affluence automatically confers virtue also on one. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): SlOkam 828 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Even if the Paadhukais are non- stationary during the Lord's travels, they sat still for 14 years , when they were appopinted by RaamA to rule the kingdom. During those years, it became rooted to the tasks and was stationary. For those, who attain extraordinary riches, the auspicious qualities develop simultaneously. Steadiness of purpose and freedom from distractions are two such qualities that the Paadhukais gained as a ruler of the kingdom of the Raghus. 2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:it is customary to view the Paadhukais as not standing in the same place. It is mobile. Even then , the Paadhukais stayed put in one place for fourteen years, once it was assigned the duties of ruling the kingdom of Raghus. This reminds one of the adage that guNam accompanies the acquired wealth . 3) PaadhukA has the svabhAvam to be on the move (PaadhukA prathipadha chapalA ); even with this reputation, when it was assigned the responsibilites of rulership for the kingdom by RaamA ( prathipadha chapalA api , RaghunATEna svapadhE nivEsithA ), the Paadhukais became immobile and stayed put in one place for fourteen years ( tadha nibhrutha sTithi: abhUth). When one attains great soubhAgyam, then the auspicious GuNams follow them ( Sriyam abhyupEshAm guNa: bhavathi)...(V.S).
