Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

799. thatthadhvrutthEranuguNathayA vAmanIm vyApinIm vA

Oh Paaduka! As the Lord Ranganatha, in Srirangam as in the stage that 
the whole world is, being the chief stage-manager, takes many garbs 
suited to the occasion, small or big, You also adapt Yourself to all 
His roles. All for the drama of world-Safe-guarding.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan


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

slOkam 799

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! Lord of SrIrangam 
performs in many dramas. You participate in every one of these dramas 
orchestrated by Him and take the appropriate form so that His efforts 
to help the world become fully successful. 

Swamy Desikan considers PaadhukAs as an accomplished lady dancer ,
who accompanies the cherographer every step of the way in the many 
dances that He performs. For instance , when the Lord took the form 
of VaamanA, PaadhukAs became small to fit His tiny feet; when He 
became gigantic as ThrivikramA, the PaadhukAs grew without missing a 
beat. PaadhukAs are never out of step with the Lord, the Master 
dancer/cherographer.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:The inner meaning is that the AchAryAs 
help the Lord at all times, when our Lord takes an avathAram to 
protect the world and its beings. Our Lord asked Swamy NammAzhwAr to 
help Him in Kali yugam and he incarnated and blessed us with his 
dhivya Prabhandhams in Tamil. Like that the AchAryAs follow the 
Lord's commands in different ways. 

3) SrIrangam is the dance stage of RanganAthan ( Ranga PraTitha 
vibhavan Rangan). There He is the master conductor and orchestrates 
every thing (Soothra dhAra vrutthi) for His dance. On that stage , He 
appears short as Vaamana or tall as Thrivikrama befitting His chosen 
role ( Tath vrutthE: anuguNathayA VaamanIm , vyApaneem vaa
bhUmikAm prApthavAn). Oh PaadhukE! You assume appropriate forms 
befitting those occasions and join Your Lord in those great dances ( 
VisvasTithi mahAnADikAm nEthukAmA narthakeeva nAnAsamsTA bhavathi)...
(V.S).
