Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 849. AsAdhya kEkayasuthAvaradhAnamUlam kAlam pradOShamanirIkshya ramAsahAyam manjupraNAdharahithA maNipAdharakshE moUnavratham kimapi nUnamavarthayasthvam Oh Manipaaduka! The promise that Dasharatha had made to Kaikeyi drove Rama and Sita to the forest. This period of separation You did rightly regard as tainted with great stigma. (It was pradosha period- Trayodasi coexisting with dusk.) You, therefore, chose to be silent, without emitting Your usual melodious sound. (Azhvar's works are to be recited in proximate presence of the Lord). Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): SlOkam 849 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: On seeing the Paadhukais , Swamy Desikan is reminded of the MahA pradhOsham day , when one has to observe the vow of silence. MahA pradhOsham falls at dusk on ThrayOdasi days. Swamy Desikan says: " Oh PaadhukE! By giving the boon to KaikEyi, You have reached the status of MahA pradhOsham (most inauspicious day) , when one can not worship the Lord and His consort, since one has to observe a strict vow of silence and immobility. You lose Your sweet sound during those fourteen years and observed the vow of silence as a rsult of Your sorrow in not being able to se and serve Your Lord ". 2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! Lord Raamachandra granted BharathA's request and You left as a result with Bharathan to AyOdhyA to rule in the name of Your Lord . You left Raamachnadra and for 14 years stayed without sanchAram on the throne of Raghu Kulam. It was like MahA PradhOsham time for You since You stayed at one place without generating Naadham from Your transport of Your Lord. At MahA pradhOsham evening , One has to maintain silence and not engage in visit to Bhagavath SannidhAnam. 3) Oh MaNi PaadhukE ! The time You had to stay away from Your Lord and His DEvi due to the boon granted by King DasaraTA to queen KaikEyi was like an extended period of PradhOsham for You (KEkayasuthA varadhAna Moolam anireekshya RamAsahAyam PradhOsham). At that difficult PradhOsham time , You observed Mouna Vratham without generating Your normal delightful Naadham associated with Your sanchArams ( PradhOsha Kaalam aasAdhya manju-praNAtha-rahithA kimapi mouna vratham avarthaya ),,,(V.S). ------------------------ Yahoo!
