Sri:
 
GodhAm udhArAm sthuma: ( Let us eulogize the Generous GodhA )
 
Dear BhakthAs of GodhA PirAtti :
 
Let us continue with the study of the MukthA Paddhathi and
seek the inspiration from Swamy Desikan's celebration of
the Mutthu ( Pearls) .
 
Please support the Mutthangi Kaimkaryam for Our Soodikkoduttha NaachiyAr
on Her  AvathAra dinam at Srivilliputhur . adiyEn can not think of anything
more auspicious for a Sri VaishNavan than joining the ghOshti of ANDAL
on Her avathAram day ( August 8, 2005 ) , when we as Her children can
present Her our new AabharaNam as She reenters Her ThirumALIgai
after the RaTOthsavam . Small or big , all samarpaNams are welcome .
 
Now , let us get back to the enjoyment of adaptation of MukthA Paddhathi of
Swamy Desikan to the Mutthangi SamarpaNam Uthsavam for ANDAL .
 
SlOkam 21 (Extrapolated Meaning )
***********************************************
Oh Pearls of the Mutthangi ! You possess " Moukthika SrI : "
( Beautiful with the Mutthus that constitute You ) . When ANDAL
is united with You by adorning You ( Bhavatheem prathipadhyamAnE ) ,
then You  resemble  the collective lustre of  a pond filled with fully blossomed
white lillies ( abhidhyamAna KumudhA Kumudhvatheeva kaanthim angeekarOshi) .
 
Kumudha pushpams bloom at night . Swamy Desikan visualizes the Mutthus
as the blossomed Kumudha pushpams in a pond full of them (Mutthangi) on
a Moon lit night revealing their beauty .
 
SlOkam 22 (Extrapolated Meaning )
**********************************************
Here , Swamy  Desikan states that the lustre of the MutthukkaL
(Pearls)  reveal the Parabrahmam , the meaning of the Upanishads
standing next to ANDAL with the name of RangamannAr . Oh Mutthangi !
You are full of Pearls ( Thvam MuktthAmayee ) . You have the lustre
like the white coating  on the mansions of Upanishads   ( Thvam thrayyantha
harmyatala varNa-sudhAyithEna  jyOthsnA-vikalpitha ruchaa ) . It is like
the rays of Moon falling on the towers of the mansions of
the Upanishads to reveal their content (viz) : Parabrahmam .
Through that lustre , you wash away the sins of  the devotees
prostrating before ANDAL seeking Her anugraham ( angi-
sarOja bhAjAm sathaam avarNam samayasi) . That power
was conferred by Andal to the pearls of the Mutthangi .
The moon-like lustre of the pearls removes the avarNam
( stains of sins) and creates VarNam ( sin free state) .
 
SlOkam 23(Extrapolated Meaning )
********************************************
In this slOkam , Swamy Desikan describes the steady amrutha pravAham
( Flow of nectar ) from the pearls  ( MoukthikAni nithya amrutha pravAham
prasuvathE ) . That cool amrutha pravAham quenches the scorching heat of
Taapa Thrayams of those who seek refuge , which  can not be removed by
anything else ( samAsrithAnAm acchinna thaapa samanAya amrutha pravAham).
 
SlOkam 24: (Extrapolated Meaning )
***********************************************
Here the spreading lustre of the rays from pearls are visualized
as a white umbrella over the head of ANDAL to indicate that She
is the Empress of this Universe ( MukthAmsubhi: navam aathapathram
kruthavathi ) .   
 
SlOkam 25 ( Extrapolated Meaning )
***********************************************
In this slOkam , the lustre of the rows of pearls on the Mutthangi are
compared to the rows of blossoming Kalpaka tree of Svarga lOkam
( MugdhA tE Moukthika Paddhathi: suratarO: pushpa pankthiriva
parisphurathy ) .
 
SlOkam 26 (Extrapolated Meaning ) :
*********************************************
Oh dazzling white Pearls of Mutthangi ! You have your own intrinsic
lustre of a high quality that captivates the minds of all who see you 
( manOj~nai: MukthAmsubhi: svAbhAvakeem  ruchaa ) . Now the smiles
from ANDAL's mouth filled with a row of shining white teeth doubles
your natural lustre ( ruchaa aamrEDithai: mukthAmsubhi: ) and
confers auspicousness on every one  ( MukthAmsubhi: svaabhAvikeem
amalAm sakala janthushu prasatthim prAya: prakaDeekarOthi ) . 
 
SlOkam 27 ( Extrapolated Meaning ) :
***********************************************
Oh Pearls of Mutthangi ! The lustre from the rows and rows of pearls
enmeshed in You transforms  my mind stained with blemishes in to a sparkling
rock crystal (Spatikaa) palace fit enough for the residence of  ANDAL  inside it
( Tava MukthAmsava: yEva nisseema panka malinam madheeyam
hrudhayam --- sphaDika soudha tulAm sahasaa nayanthy ) .
 
SlOkam 28 (Extrapolated Meaning )
********************************************
In this slOkam , the blossoming of the Kumudha (Aambhal ) Pushpams
in a pond at the sight of the Moon  is invoked . Aambhal Pushpams
blossom only at night , when they see their beloved Moon . Swamy
Desikan compares his mind to that pond full of Aambhal flowers .
He "says  that his mind attained Jn~Ana VikAsam (Malarcchi)
as a result of the darsana souubhAgyam of the pearl-studded
Mutthangi .
 
SlOkam 29 (Extrapolated Meaning)
********************************************
In this  slOkam , Swamy Desikan describes the extraordinary auspicious
effect of the rays from the pearls of the Mutthangi as they fall on
the citizens of upper worlds ( DEvAs , Brahmaa et al) . In the next slOkam , 
Swamy Desikan covers the effect of these sacred rays , when they
fall on the humans to grant them MokshAntha Iswaryam .
 
Oh Pearls of the Mutthangi ! The rays emanating from You are
the sacred waters  in that they have the cleansing power to remove all
blemishes from the DevAs , who seek positions like Indhra Pattam ,
Brahma Pattam et al . Those powerful rays cleanse them and appear like
performing coronation ( PattAbhishEkam ) for those desired positions .
Oh GodhE !Those rays are united with Your own dEha Kaanthi to acquire that
power to grant them the boon of such lofty positions . The rays have the power of
PuNya theerTa prOkshaNams ( Muktha amsubhi:  theerTa udhakai: PadArTina:
thAnn snapayasi iva) .
 
SlOkam 30 (Extended Meanings)
******************************************
When these auspicious rays from the pearls of Mutthangi fall on
the fortunate human beings serving ANDAL ,   they are empowered by
ANDAL's deha kaanthi to serve as the powerful medicinal pills prepared by
the  austere SiddhAs ( Siddha guLikaa ) . These rays blending with the nectar
of ANDAL's dEha kaanthi provide a coating ( anulEpam) as it were for the humans  
and destroys the fever of SamsAram ( samsAra samjwarajushAm jagathAm 
sanjeevanAya prabhavanthi) . Through their  anulEpam , these rays from
the pearls preapre the jeevans for Iswaryam culminating in Moksha Sukham .
