Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

786. vahanthi rangEshvarapAdharakshE! dhIrGhAyuShAm
dharShithaBhakthibanDhA:
AshADhipAnAmavarODhanAryasthvanmudhrikAm mangaLahEmasUthraI:

Oh Paaduka! The Eight Direction-guardians enjoy such a longevity only
because their damsels wear, in their gold-chain-hung Thirumangalya, Your
image. They become thus blessed.

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)

SlOkam 786

1) UtthamUr SWamy's anubhavam: In the earlier slOkams , Swamy Desikan
stated that the new brides wear jewelery containing the representation of
PaadhukAs
on their head. At the high moment of maangalya dhAraNam , the bridegroom
ties the auspicious thread around the neck of the bride that contains the
PaadhukAs
as the center piece . Swamy Desikan points out that the wearing of the
MangaLa
soothram is not confined to human beings alone but is also observed by
the wives of the DevAs , who wish to have long lives for their husbands.
Swamy says in this context: " Oh RanganAtha PaadhukE! The wives of
the long lived Masters of the eight directions demonstrate their devotion
to their husbands by wearing the auspicious golden chain around their
necks containing the medallion bearing Your representation".

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam : Oh PaadhukE! Every one of
the eight directions have their own Master . Their wives wear in their
sacred
necklaces (ThirumAngalyam) an insignia of Yours and thereby achieve
dheerga Sumangalithvam ( Long life as married women).

3) The directions have their Lords like Indhra for the East.
They have wives ( avarOdhanArya:). The wives wish long lives to
their husbands( dheergAyus). Therefore , they ( the wives) adorn
with reverence (darsitha bhakthi bandhA:) Your insignia /representation
on their golden necklaces ( mangala hEma soothrai: Thvan-mudhrikAm
vahanthi).. (V.S)



Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan
