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

214. thavABhiShEkAnmaNipAdharakshE!
mUlE niShEkAdhiva vruDdhiyOgyAth
jahusthadaIva thridashAnganAnAm
pramlAnathAm pathralathAnkurANi

Oh Paaduka! Your coronation festivity here was 
like water-supply direct to the roots of the 
plant, which is most conducive to growth, hence the faded 
leaf-and-creeper paints drawn on the bodies of 
deva-damsels began now to sprout as if they received 
water at their roots.

Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

1)Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam:hanumAn starts the briefing 
of the PaadhukAs with the happiness of the DevAs . Swamy 
Desikan says: " Oh PaadhukE! As a direct result of Your 
coronation , the wives of the dEvAs grew in happiness 
because of the security their husbands enjoyed 
from RaavaNA. The state of the wives were like that of
rejuvenated creepers , when they receive life-enhancing
waters at their roots . Like the rejuveanted creepers ,
the wives of dEvAs blossomed forth immediately.

2)Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: 

It is the custom of the unworried dEvAs to spend 
their leisure time with playful activitis such as
painting of flowers on the body of their beloved ones .
When RaavaNA started to harass the dEvAs, they had 
to cease such playful activities and run for cover. 
When the Paadhukais got coronated , the PattaabhishEka 
jalam was like the waters that fell at the root of 
the flowering trees and made them blossom with tender 
shoots and flowers. The dEvAs and their wives could 
again enjoy themselves with sportly activities . The fear 
and worry about harm from RaavaNA were eliminated .

The inner meaning is that the auspicious qualities 
like DayA , KshamA ,Virakthi, Saanthi , anasUyai and 
Bhakthi of the SaadhUs grew many folds since 
the incarnation of NammAzhwAr on this earth .

3) When a plant has to grow to its full potential ,
the feeding of the plant with waters at the root level
(mulE nishAdhiva) is essential .For the makarika pathra
creepers ( pathra lathAnkurANi) drawn on the bodies of
the dEva sthrees , the coronation waters associated 
with the PaadhukAs were like the water poured at 
the roots "moola nishEkam " , which led to the immediate
vigorous sprouting . They (creepers/dEva sthrees)
left behind their erstwhile famished state and regained 
their vitality and vigour ( pramlAnathAm jahu:)..V.S
