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 .
