Guest guest Report post Posted August 9, 2001 Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 433. prApthum param purishayam puruSham munInA- maBhyasyathAmanudhinam praNavam thrimAthram shrirangarAjacharaNAvani! shinjitham thE shankE samunnayanasAmavishEShaGhOSham Oh Paaduka! Or is that Nada coming from You, the sound of the three samas, that take to Srivaikunta, a soul, a great sage, who has employed the Pranava in a three-measure-manner for meditating on the Supreme Person, that reclines in our hearts, for reaching Him? Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): 1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Here, Swamy Desikan describes the PaadhukA naadham as the intoxicating sound of Saama Vedham. Swamy Desikan says: " Oh RanganAtha PaadhukE ! Your Lord , who exists with equal ease as ParavAsudEvan in His supreme abode , antharyAmi inside our heart lotuses and as RanganAthA inside PraNavAkAra Vimaanam at Srirangam sought after by Yogis. The Yogis recite PraNavam with all its parts and meditate on it to attain Him. Your naadham is recognized by them as Saama vedhic recitation that leads them to your Lord's abode in Srivaikuntam . 2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that we can reach BhagavAn , if we listen with devotion to ThiruvAimozhi , the essence of Saama Vedham . Meditation on PraNavam and recitation of PraNavam is considered as equivalent to journeying to Srivaikuntam to the accompaniment of Saama ghAnam . 3) What is the way to reach the Lord , who resides in our hearts (Parisayam Purusham )? Recitation of PraNavam (ThrimAthram) and meditation on its meaning would lead the Yogis to the Lord with the accompaniment of saama ghOsham ( ThrimAthram PraNavam anudhinam abhyasyathAm MuninAm Samunnayana Saama-visEsha GhOsham ).
