Sri:
SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,>
Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:

170. yAvath thvayA raGhavapAdharakshE 
jigIShithA rAkshasarAjaDhAnI
mAlEva thAvalluLithA madhAnDhaI:
udhyAnashAKhAmrugayUThapaIsthE

Oh Paaduka! It was just that moment, when You 
developed a desire in mind that Lanka should be won, 
that the monkey chiefs of Kishkinda-Your royal garden-had
accomplished the squeezing of the whole Lanka as if 
t were a mere garland.

Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Raaghava
PaadhukE ! Just about the time that you wanted to 
conquer the kingdom of LankA , You came to know of 
the effortless destruction of the city and its 
occupants by Your Lord with the help of the powerful
monkey king and his army .The army crushed and threw 
away LankA like destroying a flower garland . Hence , 
You desisted from Your effort to annihilate RaavaNA and
his beloved city .

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE !
Just as You turned Your attention to destroying 
Ravanan and his city , You noticed that the monkey
army had already torn the city of Lanka into shreds
just as crushing a flower garland and casting it away.
The inner meaning is that the sishyan becomes a MahAn , 
the moment a SadAchAryan prays for His sishyan to acquire 
auspicious attributes (sadhguNams).Such is the power of
SadAchArya anugraham .

(3) Swamy Desikan visualizes the nandhavanam (formal
garden) of the Raaghava Paadhukai , which is beautiful
to look at because of its flower-laden trees . There ,
he sees a group of monkeys ( SaakhA Mrugam:)with nonchalance 
led by their leaders ( yUthapai:)tearing the flowers from
the branches , crushing them and throwing them away.
The crushing of the flowers is described with a evocative
Sanskrit word (luLithA ), which lets us visualize the pathetic 
state of the crushed flowers lying on ground ...V.S
