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 .
