Sri:
 
GodhAm udhArAm sthuma: ( Let us eulogize the Generous GodhA )
 
Suddha Satthvamayeem GodhAm bhajaami !
 
Dear BhakthAs of GodhA PirAtti :
 
Let us continue with the celebration of Pearls that are going
to join the Mutthangi for GodhA PirAtti .
 
Please support the Mutthangi Kaimkaryam scheduled for
this Aadi Pooram day for GodhA PirAtti at  SrivilliputthUr .
Please let me know whether you would like to join in this ghOshti.
May ANDAL who has blessed us with the pearls ( Paasurams ) of
ThiruppAvai and NaacchiyAr Thirumozhi involve You all in
Her Mutthangi Kaimkaryam !
 
Eleventh SlOkam of MuktthA Paddathi( Extrapolated Meaning for the Angi) 
***********************************************************************************************
Swamy Desikan instructs us on the two aspects of the Mutthu adorning
the   Muttthangi AabharaNam here : (1) Moukthika Rasmi Jaalai: parishkruthA: 
The angi will be constructed and decorated with the ropes of the rays
emanating from the splendid pearls (2) Bhavathee anEkOrmi samaakulAnAm
PumsAm tama: saagara pOthapAthree bhavathy : Oh Mutthangi ! The horrible
ocean of SamsAram ( worldly life ) is forever restless and stormy with unceasing
and giant waves of Hunger , Thirst , Sorrow , Ajn~Anam , old age and death .
The beings of the world are buffeted by these dark Tsunami waves . 
Oh Mutthangi empowered by Godha PirAtti ! You become the safe boat 
to cross this dangerous ocean of SamsAram and reach the other shore of
Your Lord's kingdom of Srivaikuntam .
 
Thirteenth SlOkam oF MuktthA Paddhathi ( Extrapolated Meaning )
*********************************************************************************
Oh AndAL"s Mutthangi ! You are made up of the highest quality pearls .
The cool effulgence emanating from  those pearls makes even day time 
a veritable mon-lit cool night ( tE Moukthikai: idham visvam dhivApi 
jyOthsnAmayam bhabhUva ). The brightness of the rays   from the pearls
are cool and comforting like a Moon-lit night instead of being harsh and
bright like a Sun-lit day .Tradition is to recognize the pearls as NammAzhwAr
Paasurams .For those , who recite and reflect on the meanings of  these
Paasurams , the three kinds of sorrows ( Taapa Thrayams) are quenched
and even  SamsAram transforms into a cool night brightened by the full Moon .
 
Fourteenth SlOkam of MuktthA Paddhathi( Extrapolated Meaning )
************************************************************************************
Oh Pearls of Mutthangi ! For us , who has sought the refuge of Your
Mistress , You create the bliss equivalent to Saayujyam through Her (GodhA's)
Power . All of our fears are now removed ( SamAsrithAnAm na: anagAm visuddhim ,
thrAsa vyApayam cha thvam vitanvathee ; thvam svakeeyai: MuktthA-phalai :
saayujyam aapAdhayasi ) . Oh Mutthangi ! Through Your pearls , You confer
the twin blessings of blemishlessness(Visuddhi)  on us and phala-rahitha
kaimkaryam ( Kaimkaryam to GodhA PirAtti without seeking any returns)
and the sukhAnubhavam ( Saayujyam ) that results from such kaimkaryams.
 
Fifteenth SlOkam of MuktthA Paddathi ( Extrapolated Meaning )
********************************************************************************
There are the dazzling white rays that originate from the high quality
pearls of the Mutthangi . They extend outward . That reminds one of
the Paalikais used during auspicious occasions such as Your VivAham
with Lord RanganAthan . The yajamAnan plants in appropriate containers
the seeds of rice , black gram, green gram et al and they germinate in three or
four days into the tender growing seedling ( Oh Mutthangi ! moukthikAnAm
udhagrai: kiraNa prarOhai: keerNAm  ThvAm uthsavarTam vihithAm
abhangurAm angura-paalikAm avaimi ) .   Aadipoora Uthsavam is taking
place . Angura PaalikAs ( the container having the germinated seeds )
are prepared and maintained for the duration of the Uthsavam at 
SrivilliputthUr . The protruding rays from the pearls of the Mutthangi
are compared here to the young shoots of the plants springing
out of the angurams ( germinated seeds)  from the Paalika paathrams .
 
Sixteeth SlOkam of MuktthA Paddhathi ( Extrapolated Meaning )
***********************************************************************************
Here the comparison is between the flood of white rays that flow 
from the pearls of Mutthangi and the turbulent ,  white waters of
Gangaa river that confers auspiciousness on every one ( Thvam 
MukthA mayUkhai: srOthO-visEshai: subagaam anyAm sura sindhum
pushNAsi ; sakalasya jantho: Sivathva-hEthum pushNAsi ) . Through
the flow of the rays from your pearls , You resemble another kind of 
pious Gangaa (Subhagam anyAm sura sindhu: )  river known for 
the special floods ( SrOthO-visEshai: ) made up of its radiant
white waters ; just like that river , You become the conferrer of
auspiciousness ( Sivathva-hEthu) for all .
 
Seventeenth SlOkam of MukthA Paddhathi ( Extrapolated Meaning)
**************************************************************************************
GodhA PirAtti's divine soundharyam is the cause for Lord RanganAthA's
adoration of Her . In that ocean of Her divine beauty , Oh Pearls of 
the Mutthangi ! You are like the one that burst on the scene from 
the Mutthu sippis ( TasyA: laavaNya sindhO: savidhE nishaNNAm 
moukhtika jaala dhrusyAm ThvAm prasoothi-bhinnAm sukthim
prathiyanthi ) . BhakthAs think of You as the pearls bursting out of
their mother houses at the time of birth as the Sippis ( sukthi) surrounded
by ( savidhE nishaNNaam ) the ocean of GodhA's beauty ( laavaNya sindhu) .   
 
Eightheenth SlOkam of MukthA Paddhathi (Extrapolated Meaning )
************************************************************************************
Oh Rows of matchless  pearls( Thvayi nisthulAni MukthA-phalAni) 
adorning the Mutthangi of ANDAL ! You look like the rows of seedlings
of stars planted ( naaRRU naduthal) by Your Lord Ranganatha 
for the next aeon ( kalpam ) for the creation of future worlds
( RanganAthEna upthAni kalpAnthara thArakANAm  BheejAni
avaimi ) .
 
Ninteenth SlOkam of MukthA Paddhathi ( Extrapolated meaning )
**************************************************************************************
The analogy of the Pearls with the stars in the sky continues to invite
Swamy Desikan's attention . Here , he compares the radiant , white 
pearls  to the bubbles in the rapidly descending aakAsa Gangai
during the Thrivikrama avathAram ( vyOmApagaa vipula BhudhBhudha
darsaneeyai: Tava mukthAphalai: punuruktha thAram abhavath) . 
 
Twentieth SlOkam of MukthA Paddhathi ( Extrapolated Meaning )
**********************************************************************************
Here Swamy  Desikan salutes the whiteness of the Pearls that 
symbolize the Satthva GuNam of the Lord that protects the janthus
of the world . He attributes  the Suddha Satthva maya (white) rays
emanating from all the four sides of the Mutthangi as the protective
instrument ( raksha-vidhou niyukthA Thvam visruthvarENa mukthA-
mayUkha nikarENa tadharham prabhUtham satthvam darsayasee ) .     
Swamy Desikan chooses the word " PrabhUtham " to qualify 
the nature of Satthva guNam . PrabhUtham means some thing of 
gigantic size . Our Dhivya dampathi's satthva guNam is thus
immeasurable in size .
