Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 165. apAvruthadhvAramayanthrithAshvam rangEshapAdhAvani!pUrvamAsIth thvayA yadhrucChAsuKhasupthapAnTham rAmE vanasThE api padham raGhUNAm Oh Paaduka! Rama had gone to the forest. Formerly (when You had not come)all was pell-mell; the fortress walls were left open; the horses were not tied to the chariot; travellers slept wherever they chose. OR When You were ruling, the condition was so good that the fortress-gates needed no closure, the horses had no assignment to do; people had no fear and could, therefore sleep anywhere. This is the greatness of Your regime. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): ************************************* (1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh RangEsa PadhukE ! When RaamA left for the forest and before You returned to AyOdhyA , the citizens were overcome with such sorrow that they did not pay attention to their houses or their domestic animals . The doors of their houses were open and the animals roamed free without any control. After You returned to AyOdhyA and offered your protection , the doors of the houses of the citizens were still open , but for different reasons. The animals moved freely again , but for different reasons . After Your arrival in AyOdhyA , there was no fear of thieves or stealing ; hence people did not lock their doors . The animals did not need any control because they were at peace with themselves . Travellers slept at places , where they felt sleepy without fear of theives or any one who could hurt them . Those were the differences before and after Your return to AyOdhyA . (2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam : The inner meaning is that wherever SadAchAryAs are , there are no inauspiciousness of any kind for those , who seek refuge at their holy feet , either in this world or in the other .The palces that SadAchAryAs rside are like the places where , there is ashtAkshara Samsiddhi (power of the sacred AshtAksharam ). (3) SadAchAryAs remove all anishtams by their blessed presence .. V.S
