Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

749. kanakaruchirA kAvyAKhyAthA shanaIscharaNOchithA
shrithagurubuDhA BhAsvadhrUpa dhvijADhipasEvithA
vihithaviBhavA nithyam viShNO: padhE maNipAdhukE!
thvamasi mahathI vishvEShAm na: shuBhA grahamaNdalI

Oh Manipaaduka! You have a gold-lustre of red hue. You have a vital 
place in Ramayana etc. You move about only slowly. Gurus and learned 
ones cling to You. You shine like the sun. You are worshipped by 
eminent Brahmins. You stay put to the Lord's Feet permanently. (The 
planets, namely, the red Angaraka, Sukra alias Kavya, Sani who is 
slow moving, Guru and Budha, Soorya and Chandra-these encircle in 
their paths in the celestial sphere. They will prove auspicious in 
specific periods, being otherwise at other times.) But You are always 
auspicious as a peculiar planetary combination, unusual this way, 
conferring benefits on us permanently.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):

SlOkam 749

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: After Swamy Desikan thought of 
the golden Mount Meru , he shifted his attention to another
golden vathu (viz)., AnkArakA, one of the nava grahams known for
his golden color.From AnkArakA , Swamy Desikan moves on to
the other planets except Raahu and Kethu. The group of 
AngArakA and six other planets are known as Graha MaNDali. 
The worship of Graha MaNDali wards off all inauspiciousness.
Swamy Desikan considers the golden PaadhukAs as the best 
and biggest Graha MaNDali since they are assoicated with
the holy feet of the Lord. As such , PaadhukAs confer 
unalloyed bliss for its devotees as the Supreme Graha MaNDali. 

Swamy Desikan comments: " Oh golden PaadhukAs celebrated in
RaamAyanam and moving slowly following the pace of Your Lord !
You are approached by the great AchAryAs and Yogis and
You have a supremely lustrous body. You are forever 
worshipped by the Brahmins and have attained great glory by 
Your intimate association with Your Lord's sacred feet. 
You , who confers the choicest blessings on us are 
the most auspicious combination of all the seven planets
(Graha MaNDali).

Swamy Desikan hints that the ordinary Graha MaNDali will
give boons only to some. The extraordinary Graha MaNDali 
(The Lord"s Paadhukais) will however bless one and all
and even confer Moksham on Its worshippers. Such is Its
unique power !

(2) SrImath Andavn's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that for 
those who have SadAchArya sambhnadham , there will be no
mischief (ubadhravam) from the nava grahams. 

Oh PaadhukE! On You Golden sheets are enmeshed. Great
IthihAsams like SrImad RaamAyanam and MahA Bhaaratham
sing Your glories.You enable the Lord to have enjoyable 
travels on You. All the AchAryAs and Scholars have sought 
refuge in You. You outshine the Sun with Your lustre.
All the sreshta BrAmins worship You. The Lord's sacred 
feet acquire special glory because of their sambhandham 
with You. As a result of all these subha lakshanams, 
You ward off the inauspiciousness caused by the nava grahams
and confer auspiciousness on those , who seek your protection.
