Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 859. thvAmAshrithO maNimayUKhasahasradhrushyAm thvacChinjithEna saha rangapathi: samudhyan AshankyathE sumathiBhirmaNipAdharakshE! vidhyAsaKha: savithrumaNdalamaDhyavarthI Oh Manipaaduka! Knowledgeable observers, seeing the Lord Ranganatha on You with a thousand rays emerging from Your gems, and start moving on with a Vedic melody, identify Him with the Supreme God, residing in the centre of the solar globe, along with the Vedic Trinity. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S ): SlOkam 859 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: In this verse , Swamy Desikan points out that the sages of the forest enjoy the PaadhukAs as the Soorya MaNDalam (orbit of the Sun God). He says : " Oh PaadhukE ! You shine with Your thousand rays like the Sun's orbit. Your sounds during Your movement resemble the sounds of recitation of the three VedAs at dawn, noon, and dusk. Your Lord sits in the center of that orbit as Surya NaarAyaNan and is recognized and saluted by the sages as the Veda Purushan revered by You". 2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! Lord RanganAtha is with You posesing thousands of rays and myriad sweet sounds. Those great ones, who worship You with Your Lord think of Lord RanganAtha as the SarvEswaran at the middle of the orbit of the Sun worshipped by Rg , Yajus and Saama Vedams at morning, noon, and evening . 3) Oh Gem-bedecked PaadharakshE ( MaNi PaadharakshE )! Lord RanganAtha appears like the Soorya NaarAyaNa Moorthy seated at the center of the Sun's orbit, who is eulogized by the Rg, Yajur and Saama Vedams during prAtha:, MaadhyAhnika and Saayam SandhyAs ( Rangapathi: VidhyAsakah: savithru maNDala madhyavarthee aasankyathE ). To whom does Lord RanganAtha accompanied by You look like Soorya MaNDala Madhyavarthee( ThvAm aasritha: Thvath sinjithEna saha sumadhyan Rangapathi: )? When the Saastraj~nAs (VidvAns) see You with Your Lord ( Sumathibhi: dhrusyAm ThvAm ), then they equate Your Lord to Soorya NaarAyaNan at the center of the orbit of the Sun... (V.S). Yahoo!
