Ucchishtam
Leaf - 13
The 'Ucchishtam' of the Guru
is His Words/Upadesas!
Sri Swamiji -
One who leads a simple life and has a family that is conducive to his devotion towards God,
in my opinion, would not consider Heaven or even Vaikunta greater than that.
We are prepared to spend years together in this world for studies which help us earn our
livelihood thereby providing us with a life of comfort and luxury. But when it comes to spiritual
life, we have the least patience and we expect results as soon as we start practicing
the discipline.

The Paduka
Sriman Nigamantha Desikan, a great Vaishnava Saint lived from
mid-thirteenth to mid-fourteenth century- 1268-1369. Of the innumerable
'Granthas' (texts) written by Him
the highly revered and considered as the most extraordinary piece is His
"Paduka Sahasram" - a thousand verses on the 'Paduka' of Lord Ranganatha.
The Saint has in all composed 1008 verses, the last eight apologizing
in all humility for daring to compose these 1000 verses on the Paduka!
Sri Desikan's contemporary Sri Appayya Dikshitar had written a
commentary on the "Paduka Sahasram" but unfortunately it has been lost.
Nidhimiva nirapãyam tvãm anãdhritya mohãd
Ahamiva mama dosham bhãvayan shudramartham |
Mayi sati karunãyãh poornapãtre tvayã kim
Paramupagamaneeyah Pãduke! Ranganãthah || (308)

Oh! Pãduka!
Ignoring You, the greatest treasure
My mind involves in lowly ways of
Artha, kãma, etc.!
The omnipotent Bhagavãn, too,
Is apathetic towards me
Due to my faults
Which,
In itself makes me the right recipient
For His Grace!
Why then do You
Oh! Pãduka!
Take HIM to someone else?
It is You, who
Should turn HIM, the Lord
Towards me!
Kamapi kanakasindhoh sykate sancharantam
Kalasha jaladhikanyãmedineedatta hastam |
Anishamanubhaveyam Pãduke! tvayyadheenam
Sucharitaparipãkam sooribhih sevaneeyam || (309)
Click here for the Sloka in Sanskrit
Oh! Pãduka!
Only the Nityasooris and the virtuous
Deserve to worship the Lord
Who comes on procession
Along with Sridevi and Bhooma Devi
Led on by You, on the banks of the Cauvery!
May Your Grace
Enable me to envision this!
