Ucchishtam
Leaf - 17
The 'Ucchishtam' of the Guru
is His Words/Upadesas!
Sri Swamiji -
Bhagavãn knows how, through whom and when a work has to be done. We should learn to live happily, placing
all the burdens on His Holy Feet.
A person rendering services as desired by the Mahãtma, with bhakti and ‘shraddha’,
need not grieve for not performing
japa or dhyana. The devoted service that he renders encompasses all these!

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.

I meditate on thee as verily
The dharmic wife of Rama’s Feet!

Oh! Pãduka!
This world enjoys the best rule
Because of You!
But,
To avoid ‘dosha’ (stigma) of
A lady ruler
Perumal’s Name is prefixed to Your’s
And thus,
You are referred to as
‘Ranga Nãtha’ Pãduka!
