Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:


851. AdhyO raGhukshithiBhujAmaBhiShEkadhIpthaI-
     rApyAyithasthava padhAvani! rashmijAlaI:
     mandhIchakAra thapanO vyapanIthaBhIthi:
     mandhOdharIvadhanachandramasO mayUKhAn

(Oh Paaduka! The sun who is regarded as the founder of the (Solar) 
race of the Raghus, could not attenuate the moon-lustre of the face 
of Mandodari, out of fear, though he did so in the case of the 
celestial moon in day-time). When once You were given the ceremonial 
coronation bath, You shone in pristine effulgence from which the sun 
derived a nourishment and courage and he could enfeeble the splendour 
of the moon of the face of Mandodari, the wife of Ravana. Your 
Abhisheka was the event that tolled the death-knell of the Rakshasa.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan


Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
 
SlOkam 851
 
1) UtthamUr  Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! The primordial source
of the origin of the Kulam of Raghu is Sooryan . At the time of Your
coronation bath , You helped Sooryan to regain his energy through 
the brilliant rays of Your rubies. He became rejuvenated and lost 
his fear of RaavaNa as an indestructible ogre . This in turn made
Soorya dim the lustre on the moon-like face of MaNDOdhari ,
the principal wife of RaavaNa .( The Sun lends a portion  of his 
lustre to the Moon at night time .During the day time , Sun dims
the lustre of the Moon due to its own brilliance. Before the 
coronation of the PadhukAs , Sooryan was full of fear of RaavaNa and 
did not dare to diminish the lustre of the Moon-like face of 
MaNDOdhari. Once the PaadhukA ascended the throne of Raghus , Sooryan 
got confident that Raama will destroy RaavaNa . Sooryan shed his 
fears and shone brilliantly and thereby diminished the lustre on 
MaNDOdhar's face .  The imagination of Swamy  Desikan as 
a poet par excellence is brought out here ).
 
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! Raghu Vamsam is 
celebrated as Soorya Vansam. The aadhi purushan for that vamsam is 
Sooryan , whose lustre got enhanced multifold from Your rubies . When
Your kaanthi mingled with His Kaanthi , He overcame all fears about
RaavaNa and dulled the mukha kaanthi of the Moon-like face of
MaNDOdhari (i-e) RaavaNan  was dead . MaNDOdhari fell down in
the mid day Sun and her face lost its lustre and shrank. 
 
3) Oh the protector of the Lord's Thiruvadi (PadhAvani) ! Sooryan
is the aadhi purushan/Founder of Raghu Vamsam ( Raghu-kshithi-bhujAm
aadhya: ). That Sooryan got enhancement of His lustre from the rays
of Your rubies after Your sacred  bath ( Tava dheepthai: rasmi 
jaalai: aapyAyitha: Tapana: ) . His fears were removed ( Bheethi: 
vyapaneethavAn). Sooryan in the state of freedom from fears about 
RaavaNan diminished the erstwhile Moon-like facial lustre of 
MaNDOdhari ( ManDODhari vadhana chandramasa: mayUkhAn 
mandheechakAra)....(V.S).
