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
.
