The Paduka
Sriman Nigamãntha 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
"Pãduka Sahasram" - a thousand verses on the 'Pãduka' of Lord Ranganãtha.
The Saint has in all composed 1008 verses, the last eight apologizing
in all humility for daring to compose these 1000 verses on the Pãduka!
Sri Desikan's contemporary Sri Appayya Dikshitar had written a
commentary on the "Pãduka Sahasram" but unfortunately it has been lost.
Soureh shuddhãnta nareennãm vihãramanni darpannam |
prasatteriva samsthãnam padatrãnnam upãsmahe || (711)
Meditate do we on that Pãduka!
- who
serves as a mirror
to the Divine Consorts
who look in 'It'
in a playful fashion
- who appears
to be the very
Form of the Grace and clarity of the Lord!
