Sri:
SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,
Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:
430. anthascharEShu pavanEShu jithEShvaBhignyA:
prathyanmuKhIm pariNamayya mana: pravrutthim
AsvAdhayanthi sarasam maNipAdharakshE!
nAdhAvasAnasamayE BhavthIninAdham
Oh Manipaaduka! Yogis first conquer the airs that work in our body,
then control the function of the mind by directing it inside-towards
the Paramatma-and when the Pranava-nada subsides, they hear Your Nada-
the advent of the Lord-as a delicious thought!
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
SlOkam 430:
1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: In the previous verse , PraNava
naadham was mentioned. Here, Swami Desikan describes the benefits of
PraNava naadham for the Yogis. He says: " Oh PadhukE ! Yogis adept in
the control of breath ( Praanaayaamaa) control their minds. They
reach single-minded concentration through this yogic practise of
hearing PraNava nadham . After that , they hear the sweet sound
originating from You and realize that the Lord is about to present
Himself before them .
2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: When the Yogis meditate on the Lord ,
they experience the sound of PrANa Vaayu for a short time. When that
sound stops , then they enjoy the sound of Your Lord's sanchAram on
Your back .
3) Swamy Desikan calls the Yogis as " abij~nA: " or those who are
knowledgable. These Yogis control the PrANa Vaayu through PrANAyAmam
and as a result bring their minds under control to experience with
affection the sweet sounds generated by You as You transport Your
Lord…(V.S).
