Sri:
SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,
Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:

186. kruthABhishekA BhavathI yaThAvadh
rangEshapAdhAvani!rathnapITE
gangAnipAthasnapithAm sumErO:
aDhithyakABhUmimaDhaschakAra

Oh Paaduka! As You were treated in the throne 
to the ceremonial abolution,You looked superior
to the golden Meru mountain subjected to 
the fall of the Ganga stream from the heavens.

Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
***********************************

(1) Following Sage VasishTa and BharahtA 's
performance of abhishEkam , the ministers and 
other pramukhAs performed additional abhishEkams
for the Paadhukais.Here, Swamy Desikan describes
the appearnace of the Paadhukais at the conclusion of
these cremonial baths this way : " Oh PadhukE !
After Your coronation bath , while seated on 
the gem-encrusted throne of the Raghus , You 
appeared like the golden crest of Mount Meru 
shining from the descent of the aereal (aakAsa)
GangA on it . You shone with enhanced brilliance
after the baths like the crest of Mount Meru ,
whose golden lustre was more prominent as a result of 
the smoothening caused by the flow of AakAsa GangA
over it". 

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE !
The consecrated abhishEkam waters falling on 
Your golden body reminds one of the descent of
the sacred Ganga Waters from the golden crest of 
Meru mountain .

(3) The saasthraic abhishEkam took place , while 
the Padhukais were seated on the RathnAsanam
( RathnAsanE yathAvath krutha abhishEkA ). That
scene resembled the down pour of the rushing 
GangA river on top of the golden Meru mountain .
Swamy goes on to say that the scene of 
PattAbhishEkam was far superior to the scene 
on top of the SumEru mountain ...V.S
