Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 609. lAkshAlakshmImaDhararuchakE rangiNa: pAdharakshE! vakthrAmBhOjE madhapariNathim padhmarAgadhyuthisthE karNOpAnthE kisalayaruchim dhEvi! sEvanathAnAm sImAnthE cha thridashasudhrishAm soUthi sindhUrashOBhAm Oh Devi Ranganatha paaduka! When divine damsels come and bow before You in homage, when Your Padmaraga gems confer cosmetic gifts to them; the gems apply a red lac dye on the lip, give a lovable intoxicated look to their face, place a tender sprout on the ear and a vermilion dot on the parting line of the fore-portion of the head. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V. Sadagopan (V.S): 1. UtthamUr Swamy's anubhaavam: Oh PaadhukE! You bless the wives of the DevAs , who worship You having many special beauty marks arising from Your rubies. You enhance the redness of the color of their lips painted earlier with the red dye . You make their lotus faces flushed with joy through Your redness. You enhance the beauty of the red ear ornament that they are wearing . You increase the loveliness of the vermilion mark adorning the partition between their rows of hair." Swamy Desikan states that the wives of the DevAs absorb the divine glow of the red rubies of the PaadhukAs on the different areas of their faces . 2. SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that a full Comprehension of the meanings of the paasurams of Swamy NammAzhwAr creates all kinds of joy and comfort . 3. Swamy Desikan is assesses the mutifold efffect of the radiance (Dhyuthi) of the PadhmarAgA gems here . There are the wives of DevAs , who have bent before the SaThAri ( sEvAnathAnAm Thridasa-sudhrusAm ) to offer their worship . The lustre of the rubies falls then on the different areas of their faces . When they (rays of rubies) fall on the lips that look like a golden jewellery , the appearnace is like red lacquer used in painting the lips ( adhararuchakE laakshA LakshmIm iva). When these red rays fall on the entire face , then they remind one of the joyous state arising from inebriation (vakthrAmbhOjE madha-pariNathim iva). When it falls on the ear lobe region , they remind one of the tender green shoots (karna upAnthE kisalaya ruchim ). When they fall on the dividing line between the rows of hair (vahidu), they remind one of the vermillion mark adorning that region ( seemanthE sindhUra-sObhAm southi)?(V.S).
