Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 171. mahIkshithAm rAGhavapAdharakshE BhadhrAsanasThAm BhavathIm sprushantha: pUrvam thaThAthvE niyathE api BhUya: kalyANathAmAnashirE kirItA: Oh Paaduka! As kings' crowns all assembled and crowded around You,touching the golden ones acquired, in an additional sense, 'Kalyanatwa' (=goldness and auspiciousness) Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): ************************************ (1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Here, Swamy Desikan plays with the double meaning ofthe word "KalyANA " . This word can mean either "auspicious or Golden " . Swamy Says: " Oh Raaghava PpadhukE ! When the golden crowns of the prostrating kings touched You duirng their prostrations , they became auspicious once more.Before coming into contact with You , they were merely golden (kalyANA) ; after making contact with You , they became auspicious (kalyANA). They were thus doubly blessed by offering worship to You . (2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam : The PaadhukA sambhandham made the golden crowns of the prostrating Kings auspicious. The inner meaning is that even the virtuous ones (puNyasAlis) attain auspiciousness (KshEmam) after AchArya Sambhandham . (3) Swamy describes the poorva (before ) and the utthara states of the Crowns as the kings prostrated before the sacred PaadhukAs of the Lord seated on the BhadhrAsanam ( throne). Prior to coming into contact with the Paadhukais , the crowns had kalyANathvam ( the nature of being Gold ); after the sparsam (touch ) of the Paadhukai , the crowns went beyond being just golden and attained the greatest state of auspiciousness ( KalyANathvam)..V.S
