Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:

253. avadhAthhimAmshukAnuShaktham
padharakshE! thvayi rangiNa: kadhAchith
kimapi sThithamadhvithIyamAlyam
viralAvasThithamoUkthikam smarAmi

Oh Paaduka! My mind now meditates on that scene-The Lord is wearing a
delicate, transparent, snow-like, white garment; He wears only a
single garland of pearl-like buds (of flowers), sparingly spread
through, and settling on You; what a charming unparalleled garland!
That was perhaps a service to You, garmetn and flower-garland being
presented to YOU, Oh Paaduka Devi!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swami's anubhavam: After smearing the sandal paste ,
Swami Desikan touches upon RanganAthA's state of preparation for
union
with His Paadhukais . The imagery of RanganAthA in His wet clothes
after His bath and wearing of a necklace with loosely-knit pearls
after that bath come before Swami Desikan's mind .He relates this
imagery to the mood and appearance of RanganAthA before His union
with
Devi PaadhukA . He equates the single wet garment to the clothe
sprinkled with rose water in anticipation of pleasurable union . he
relates the pearls in the necklace adorning the upper portions of the
body to beads of sweat arising from the excitement over the
approaching union . Swami Desikan says that he meditates upon that
indescribable tender scene .

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! At one time , Sri
RanganAthan wore a white vasthram moistened with saffron water as
upper garment and over it a pearl necklace and fragrant flower
garland and visited You. AdiyEn reflects on that delectably tender
scene.

(3) Swami Desikan addresses the Paadhukais here as " Padha RakshE "
.They protect the Lord's scard feet as a loyal daasan . Lord
RanganAthA recognizes that antharanga kaimkaryam and wants to
recognize that special service. He dresses up specially for union
with
the protector of His feet during sanchArams . He wears a white
vasthram sprinkeld with rose water ( avadhAtha himAmsuka anushaktham
). To heighten the pleasure of SatAri Soori , His Paadhukais , He
wears one single flower garland ( adhvithIya MaalYaam anushaktham )
and a loosely-knit pearl necklace ( viralAvasthiTa moukthikam
anushaktham ) . Swami is thrilled about meditation on that
incomparable (kimapi sthitham )of the Lord's special sevai for the
Paadhukais and salutes the Paadhukais for blessing him as well with
that sevai of RanganAthA ?V.S
