Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

257. shayithavathi rajanyAm pAdhukE! rangabanDhoU
charaNakamalapArshvE sAdharam varthasE thvam
PhaNipathishayanIyAdhutThithasya praBhAthE
praThamanayanapAtham pAvanam prApthukAmA

Oh Paaduka Devi! When the Lord has gone 'asleep', You sit beside His
Adisesha-couch, eagerly waiting for His first glance, on his
awaking,-a potent and pure glance-a previlege given to You alone.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

1. Sri UtthamUr Swami's anubhavam : Here Swami Desikan describes how
Devi PaadhukA becomes the senior consort of Lord RanganAthA . He says
: " Oh PaadhukE ! When the Lord sleeps , You stay very close to His
lotus feet with great affection . During dawn , when He wakes up ,
His first glances fall on You befitting Your rank as the first among
His consorts .Your stature as the foremost consort is therefore
unquestioned .

2. Srimath Andavan's anubhavam : Oh PaadhukE ! PerumAL is resting
in
His paryankam (bed) . When he wakes up at dawn , You long for His
first glance to fall on You and therfore You stay at the foot of His
bed.

3. Here Swami Desikan chooses the word Rangabhandhu to salute the
Lord
of the Paadhukais to hint at their BhAndhavyam (relationship). Devi
Paadhukai is sitting wide awake at the lotus feet of the sleeping
Lord
( Rangabhandhou-charaNa kamala paarsvE thvam saadharam varthasE ) .
You are quietly waiting there with longing to receive the first
sacred glance of the Lord , when He wakes up at dawn for performing
His nithya karmAs ( PhaNipathi sayaneeyAth utthithasya paavanam
prathama nayana paatham prabhAthE prApthukAmA saadharam varthasE )
?V.S
