Sri:
 
GodhAm udhArAm sthuma: ( Let us eulogize the Generous GodhA )
 
Dear BhakthAs of GodhA PirAtti :
 
Today we will  conclude  the study of the MukthA Paddhathi
(SlOkams 41 to 50) and seek the inspiration from Swamy Desikan's
celebration of the Mutthu ( Pearls) a la PaadhukA Sahasram .
 
Please join in the Mutthangi Kaimkaryam for Our Soodikkoduttha
NaachiyAr on Her  AvathAra dinam at Srivilliputhur yathA Sakthi .
Please recieve the blessings of ANDAL and RangamannAr as well
as PeriyAzhwAr on the occasion of the  Mutthangi  SamarpaNam .
 
SlOkam 41 ( The Extrapolated Meaning )
****************************************************
Oh GodhE ! You recognized SrivilliputthUr as BrundhAvanam and
searched for Your Lord assidously through Your dhivya Sookthi
of NacchiyAr Thirumozhi and finally had His darsanam there .
You travelled all over "BrundhAvanam " during this search for Him .
There was immense  physical exertion during that search . Shiny
little drops of sweat appeared from that effort . The lustre of those
glistening sweat drops seems to have been transferred to the pearls of
Your Mutthangi  ( tE moukthikAni chira viharaNa khEdhAth sambruthAnAm
Sramajala kaNikAnAm sampadham bhajanthy) . KhEdham means
anxious and sorrowful search with  significant coverage of ground
in that effort ( chira viharaNa khEdhAth ) . That exertion produced
tiny little sweat drops of glistening nature ( chira viharaNa khEdhAth
sambruthnAm Sramajala kaNikAnAm Sampadham bhajanthy ) . Your
pearls of the Mutthangi acquired as it were that sObhai ( Sampadham) . 
 
SlOkam 42 ( The Extrapolated Meaning )
****************************************
Oh Mutthangi of GodhA Devi ! On You are enmeshed 
many  lustrous pearls . The radiance of these famous pearls 
enhances twofold the lustre of the kaanthi of the toe nails
of  RangamanAr , who is standing next to Your Mistress
( prakaDitha yasasAm dhvigunitha nakha chandra 
jyOthishAm tE moukthikAnAm Saasvathee iyam
Chandrikaa) . The JyOthi from these pearls are eternal
and is like the cool chandrika . Swamy Desikan prays for 
that lustre to remove the fear of the people at their  last
moments , when they experience the shutting down of 
the indhriyams ( tE moukthikAnAm Saasvathee iyam 
chandrikaa karaNavilaya vELaa kAtharasya asya janthO:
parithApam Samayuthu ) . 
 
SlOkam 43( The Extrapolated Meaning )
****************************************
The assembly of pearls in the Mutthangi is praised here .
It is like the assembly of liberated Muktha Jeevans in
Parama Padham . That jeevan has Aathma JyOthi , which
is compared to the dhivya tEjas of the MukthA MaNis of
the Mutthangi .
 
SlOkam 44 ( The Extrapolated Meaning )
*****************************************
Oh Mutthangi! The enmeshed pearls on You are blemishless
and are radiant with their btight lustre . Their Kaanthi spreads
all over the universe . They remind us of the court in Srivaikuntam
where Nithya Sooris and Muktha Jeevans form the ghOshti 
( MukthA: yadhupAsadhanAth thrAsa-heenA: svai: aalOkai:
akhilam bhuvanam dheepavath Bibhrathy ; VishNupadhE
amitha vibavAm tAmm aasTAneem tarkayAmi ) .
 
SlOkam 45 ( The Extrapolated Meaning )
******************************************
Oh Mutthangi! Indhran places You on the back of his court
elephant , IrAvadham and brings it to Srivilliputthur to offer
it as samarpaNam on Your avathAram day . During that occasion ,
the Kaanthi from the pearls on You spread over the forehead of
Indran's elephant and looks like the decorative aabharaNam ( mukha
paDam ) for that elephant . Mukha paDam has silver objects stitched
on to velvet  cloth . Swamy Desikan visualizes the spreading kaanthi of
the pearls of the Mutthangi resting on the back of IrAvadham that
falls on the forehead of latter as : " Thvam dasa-satha-dhrusaa  
dEvEna danthirAjasya moordhni nyasthA moukthikAnAm miuhapaDa
ruchim dhathsE " .
 
SlOkam 46 ( The Extrapolated Meaning )
*****************************************
Oh Mutthangi ! High quality pearls are enmeshed on You .
Their lustre is cool and moves like the bright waves of GangA river.
Your pearls have association with the sacred ThirumEni
of ANDAL ; that in turn empowers them to grant amarathvam
( freedom from old age and death) to those who worship Your
Yajamaani ( tava pruTula moukthika kiraNA: sathAm ajarAmaram
padham vidhatE ) .
 
SlOkam 47 ( The Extrapolated Meaning )
****************************************
Oh Muttthangi ! Highest quality pearls are enmeshed on You .
They geenrate unique lustre that falls on the head of all those
standing nearby . One of them is Lord Sivan . He has the clear 
GangA flowing from His matted hair . The rays from Your pearls
fall on the JaDai of Lord Sivan , the dear devotee of  RangamannAr
and looks like a second GangA river with its sparkling white waters
( Tava MukthA MaNi maha: kAnthi Kapardha sirE padhathi. anyAm
GangAm ksharathi ) .
 
SlOkam 48( The Extrapolate Meaning )
****************************************
Oh Mutthangi ! the abundant lustre originating from Your rows of
pearls generate a unique flood of nectar ( praguNa dheepthaya:
tAvakA: moukthika panTaya: kamapi amrutha-nirjaram ksharanthi ).
Those who get immersed in that nectar overcome death and old age
( yadhanushangiNa: maneeshiNa: jaraa maraNa dhanthuram
tApa thrayam jahathy ) .
 
SlOkam 49( The extrapolated Meaning )
***************************************
Oh Mutthangi ! The highest quality pearls constitute You .
The Kaanthi of those pearls remind one of the laughter of
the servants of ANDAL , who jocularly refer to the control
that ANDAL has over RangamannAr through the power of
the Soodikkoduttha Maalai ( SuddhAntha chEDee janE durmadhAth
jalpathy Thvam Mukthaa mayUkha cchalAth prahasithA prAya: ) .
 
SlOkam 50 ( The Extrapolated Meaning )
******************************************
This is the final slOkam of MukthA Paddhathi .
The customized slOkam for ANDAL can be approximated as:
 
RangEsa dayitha mukthAngi saa mE vidhadhAthu Saasvatheem suddhim  
yann moukthika prabhAbhi: SvEtadhveepamiva sahyajaa dhveepam
 
Oh Mutthangi of the Divine Consort of RanganAthA ! May Thou grant
adiyEn the eternally lasting brightness ( freedom from sins) ! The Kaanthi
associated with Your pearls makes the entire island of Srirangam covered with
a whiteness similar to that of SvEtha dhveepam , where the residents are able to
enjoy the darsanam of the Lord with their own physical eyes . Only SvEtha
dhveepa Vaasis and the residents of Sri Vaikuntam have the bhAgyam of
visualizing the Lord with their physical eyes and enjoy His dhivya soundharyam .
 
Next , we will enjoy the excerpts from the slOkams of GodhA Sthuthi of
Swamy Desikan in the context of the Mutthangi SamarpaNam on August 5,
2005 . Please join in this kaimakryam .
