Sri:
SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,
Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:
820. rEKhApadhEshathasthvam prashamayithum praLayaviplavAshankAm
vahasi maDhujithpadhAvani! manyE nigamasya mAthrukAlEKhyam
Oh Paaduka of the Lord! When the Deluge comes, all get destroyed. One
naturally fears as to what would happen to the Vedas. They have to be
guarded. You fulfill this need by maintaining a master copy, so to
say, in the forms of streaks on You; with that original being on You,
there can be no ground for a fear that the Vedas would be lost.
(Paaduka-worship guarantees Vedic knowledge. Though the Vedas are
referred to as 'the unwritten word', it is in relation to our study
only. The Lord keeps it in a symbolic manner. The Tamil Vedas are
kept as Paaduka-streaks, Paaduka being Nammazhvar himself.)
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
SlOkam 820
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Paadhukais of HayagrIvan , who
destroyed Madhu and Kaitaba! At he time of universal deluge , when
every one worries whether the VedAs will disappear, You show that You
are preserving and protecting the VedAs through Your rEkhAs.
Normally, VedAs can not be written. However on on Your body surface ,
they become symbolically represented as rEkhAs in a condensed form .
PaadhukAs are the symbol of Swamy NammAzhwAr. He seems to carry
ThiruvAimozhi or the Tamil vEdAs in the form of rEkhAs to protect and
preserve them forever. Thus both the Aryan and Dravidian vEdAs are
preserved by the PaadhukAs through the form of etched lines
representing them on their surfaces.
2) Oh PaadhukE ! VedAs stay in a dimunitive, subtle state, which
makes one doubt whether they exist ( Nigamasya praLaya viplava
aasankAm prasamayithum rEkhA ). During the time of creation , the
VedAs are in an expanded form . When there were doubts about the
existence of VedAs during the time of PraLayam , the rEkhAs on the
PaadhukAs appear like the first edition of a book to assure their
existence ( aasankAm prasamayithum rEkhA upadEsatha: mAthrukA lEkhyam
vahasi)...(V.S).
