Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 178. anitharavahanIyam manthrimuKhyaIryadhA thath thvayi vinihithamAsIth sUryavamshADhirAjyam raGhupathipadharakshE! rathnapITE tadhAnIm shriyamiva dhadhrushusthvAm sAdharam lOkapAla: Oh Paaduka! You reigned as the Empress of the throne of the Solar Dynasty, which cannot be managed by anyone else. When the chief advisors enthroned You, the Devas guarding over the eight directions, worshipped You as they would Sri Mahalakshmi. Thus You are the veritable Lakshmi! Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): *********************************** (1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Here, Swamy Desikan salutes the Lord's Paadhukai as Soorya Vamsa Raaja Lakshmi. He points out that the Lords of the eight directions (dhig PaalakAs) recognized this principle behind the Paadhukai.He says that they recognized You as PaadhukA Lakshmi protecting the wealth of Soorya Vamsam. Swamy Desikan hints that Soorya Vamsa Raaja Lakshmi will stay in the kingdom as long as the PaadhukAs sat on the throne as the representative of Lord RaamachandrA . (2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam :Oh Raghupathi PaadhukE ! When the kingdom of KosalA could not be ruled even by wise ministers like Sumanthrar , You accepted the royal duties in the name of Your Lord and sat on the throne of the Raghus. The kings of the earth and the Lords of the eight directions saw You then as saakshAth MahA Lakshmi .The inner meaning is that the SadhAchAryan appears to the devout sishyan as the embodiment of Jn~Anam, anushtAnam , VairAgyam , KshamA and dayA . Mahaa Lakshmi indeed incarnates as SadhAchAryALs. (3)Swamy Desikan says here that the weight of the solar dynasty could not be borne even by the key ministers like Sumanthrar ( SooryavamsAdhi- raajyam manthri mukyai: anitharavahaneeyam ); then , PaadhukA took over that burden of ruling the kingdom and sat on the throne of the kings of the solar race. At that time ,The dhigpaalakAs worshipped with ardour the Paadhukai seatd on the gem-studded throne of Raghus as MahA Lakshmi Herself ( LokapAlA: thvAm rathnapeeDE Sriyamiva saadharam dadhrusu:)...V.S
