Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

917. yAma: shrayanthi yAm DhatthE yaIna yAthyAya yAccha yA
     yA asya mAnAya yaI vAnyA sA mAmavathu pAdhukA

May that PAADUKA protect me-
Which Vishnu takes up,
Which bears Vishnu on itself,
Which moves about because of Vishnu
Which is for Vishnu
Which originated from Vishnu for His purpose,
Which secures a respectability for Vishnu,
Which is attainable to us from (at) Vishnu

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
**********************************************
SlOkam 917: Summary of UtthamUr  Swamy's special comments :
 
This slOkma is set up in the chithra poetry type known as 
" Vivakshitha anEka naama vachanam "  style. AnEka nAma 
Vanchanam means the deception ( illusion) caused by 
the inability to split the phrases in to their many forms through 
the clever use of the seven case terminations defined by 
the rules of the Sanskrit grammar.
 
Swamy Desikan uses the first letter of the alphabet "A "
denoting VishNu and uses all of its seven vibhakthis  (case 
terminations) successively. This type of use of the seven
vibhathis makes anyone stumble except Swamy  Desikan , 
when they attempt to split the verse in to individual words 
with appropraite meanings and ascending vibhakthis. The unique 
genius of Swamy Desikan is abundantly seen in this slOkam 
construction in front of Lord RanganAtha in the late hours of 
the night as he races towards completion of the 1008 slOkams
of SrI RanganAtha PaadhukA Sahasram :
 
yAma: srayathi yAmm  dhatthE yaina yAthyAya yAccha yaa
yA sya mAnAya yai vaanyA saa maamavathu PaadhukA (917)
 
The proper split of words is as follows: " (Yaamm A : srayathi ) ,
(Yaa Amm dhatthE ), (Yaa yEna yaathi) , (aaya Yaa) , (aath) , 
(cha) , (yaa) , ( Yaa asya maanAya ) , ( yaa ya vaanyA ) ithi
padhacchEdha: 
 
The fundamental principle behind this slOkam is the statement
" akArENOchyathE VishNu: SarvalOkEswarO Hari: " (i-e) VishNu
is represented by the letter " A" and He is the Supreme Lord 
of all the worlds . The difficulty in splitting the first two words 
of the slOkam ( Yaama: srayathi) is an illustration of this chithra
category of poetry recognized as "Vivakshitha anEka nAma 
vanchanam" . The split of "Yaama: srayathi " in to meaningful 
combination of " Yaam A: srayathi " is not at all obvious in 
the beginning . Same situation is experienced in the remaining
section of this verse to fit the rules of this type of chithra 
poetry .
 
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: What VishNu reaches out to ,
Which supports VishNu , which is moved by VishNu , which becomes
VishNu , Which becomes the possession of VishNu , Which appeared
from VishNu , Which is of utmost value to VishNu , which can be 
obtained from VishNu , May the pair of that AkAra Vachyan's  PaadhukAs
protect adiyEn !    
 
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE ! I am of limited intellect
(aj~nan) and have no resources to protect myself ( akinchanan). I 
have 
become your object of protection (aasrithan). You on the other hand 
have the Svaroopam , Sthithi and vyApAram dedicated to Your Lord 
alone.
As a result , your Lord is very pleased with You and holds You dear 
to Him.
You are indeed blesed. Please bless me with Tathva Jn~Anam and
Bhagavath PurushakArathvam . 
 
3) NigaNDu states: " AkaarO VishNu vAchaka: ". The letter "A "
stands for VishNu. All the seven cases of "A" , the VishNu Vaakyam 
are hidden in the seven words of this SlOkam :
 
a) A: yAmm srayathi = The Lord , who adorns the PaadhukAs during
   His sanchAra Kaalam ..
 
b)   Yaa Am dhatthE = The Paadhukai , which carries the Lord 
 
c)   Yaa ( PaadhukA ) yaathi = the Paadhukai which is enabled to
      travel wit Him by the Lord
 
d)   Yaa aaya = The PaadhukA , which is for the exclusive use of 
       the Lord ..
 
e)   Yaa aath = The PaadhukA , which originate from Him 
 
f)    Yaa asya MaanAya = The PaadhukA , which is for His PoojA
      as a SamarpaNa vasthu 
 
g)   Yaa yE  vaanyA = The PaadhukA , which is the most fit for
      devotion to the Lord 
 
All the seven cases ( Vibhakthis) are thus connected to the Lord .
 
May those Paadhukais of the Lord having its Svaroopam , Sthithi
and vyApAram/Pravrutthi protect adiyEn ( Saa tadhadheena PaadhukA
Maam avathu ) !
