Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:

(The panegyrists entreat:) "Oh Lord Ranganatha! The Muhurtha 
prescribed as auspicious by the Adishesha-formulated astrology is 
close at hand. Please wear the Paaduka gently, whereupon the 
devotees outside will get to know, from the gently sounding melody of 
the jingle, that Your festival is about to start."

(The Lord, Namperumal is proceeding to Vahana-mandapa)

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: " Oh RanganAthA !
The auspicious period of fourty eight minutes (muhUrtham)
set for Your travel according to the rules of astrology
established by AdhisEshA has approached. Therefore ,Let Your
beautifully jingling paadhukAs announce to those waiting outside
about Your adorning them and alert the assembled kings , dEvAs and
servants that You have started for the hall of fstivities.

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam : " Oh RanganAthA !Dawn has
arrived . Please wake up and adorn Your Paadhukais and begin
Your travel towards the festival hall ; then the waiting
servants will alert themselves to serve You ."

(3) Lord RanganAthA is now fully awake. The Upanishads
praise Him and remind Him that the time (muhUrtham )set
by AdhisEshA to ascend the Paadhukais to initiate the day's
uthsavams has approached...V.S

(4) Swami states that AdhisEsahn has set the muhUrthams
for the day's uthsavams ( Sesha SiddhAntha siddham muhUrtham
upanamathi).Therefore, the Upanishads request the Lord to
ascend gently on the awaiting Paadhukais (yEshA charana rakshA
thvayA mrudhu padham adhirooDaa );a mangaLa naadham arises
then from the jingling of the bells on the Paadhukais
caused by the union of the Lord's charaNams with the Paadhukais .
That auspicious naadham would help to annouce to the awaiting
people about the commencement of the Lord's daily uthsavams
( Charana rakshA manjubhi: svai: sinjithai: janAnAm uthsava
aarambha vaarthAm upadisathu)...V.S
