Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

254. asahAyagruhItharanganAThAM
avarODhAngaNasImni pAdhukE! thvAm
sadhrusha: svayam archayanthi dhUrAth
avathamsOthpalavAsithaIrapAngai:

Oh Paaduka-Nayaki! The Lord enters the harem alone; You are His only
company; then the consorts receive You and honour You. Their
respectful eye-glances, perfumed with the fragrance of the
blue-lilies worn (on their heads and ears) welcome You. This is a
loving service rendered to You by the other consorts from a distance.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 254:

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swami's anubhavam : Oh PaadhukE ! In the inner halls
of the antha: puram , Lord's dEvis offer their salutatons to You,
when
they witeness their Lord's preference for union with You over them.
They enjoy the Lord's gait , while in union with You . Their
affectionate gazes at both of You appear like their worship with
flowers in celebration of Your union with their Lord . Gracefully ,
they concede defeat at this game of attracting the Lord of Srirangam .

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam : Oh PaadhukE ! Lord RangaAthA enters
His antha: puram without any kaimkaryaparALs except His Paadhukais.
At
that time , the ladies of the antha:puram offer worship to You with
their side glances (i-e)., they look at You longingly from quite a
distance and wish they had Your soubhAgyam of union with their Lord .

The scene in the antha: puram as Sri RanganAthan enters is described
here. He is wearing His Paadhukais ; the uniquely blessed state of
the
Paadhukais is described eloquently by Swami Desikan as : "
avarOdhaAngaNa seemni asahAya gruhItha RanganAtham ". AvarOdhAngaNa
desam is the area of the inner chambers. Lord RanganAthA has arrived
there all by Himself on His Paadhukais .There are no other servants
like umbrella bearer et al befitting His status as the Emperor of
Emperors. He is just with His Paadhukais . The ladies of the antha:
puram ( sudhrusa: )see Lord RanganAthA walki ng majestically with the
help of the Paadhukais from a distance . Their attention turns to the
sacred Paadhukais enabling the Lord to travel with such srungAram and
salute with their eyes the bhAgyavAn , the SatAri Soori ..? V.S
