Guest guest Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Swami Sri Manaval Mamunikal’s YATHIRAJA VIMSATI Author: Sri S.Satyamurthi Iyengar Yatiraja vimsati Sloka 6 alpApi me na bhavadIyapadAbjabhaktiH * shabdAdibhogaruciranvahamedhate hA | matpApameva hi nidAnamamuShya nAnyat * tadvArayArya yatirAja dayaikasindho || (6) Sloka 6 Oh, gem of a preceptor and a veritable sea of compassion! Unto your lotus feet there isn’t in me the slightest devotion But, alas! My attachment to pleasures sensual grows intense; Pray deliver me from the sole cause of all these, my sins. Notes: To a query whether the service prayed for in the preceding slokas does not accrue to the Poet, as a matter of course, by virtue of his exemplary devotion to the Great Master, the poet recounts, from this sloka onwards, his own numerous short comings, which could preponderate as serious impediments to the influx of his Master’s Grace. “Bhavadeeyapadabja” could be taken to mean “at your lotus feet” invoking the samanadhikarana samasa or “at the lotus feet of your devotees like Koorathazhvan, Mudaliandan etc.” calling into play the vyatikarana samasa. =============================================================== Retyped from the book by Sri Kesavan Srinivasan of Chicago (The Grandson of Sri U.Ve.
