Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 603. rangADhirAjapadharakshiNi! biBhrathasthvAm gangAtharangavimalE girishasya moULoU samvarDhayanthi mahasA thava padhmarAgA: shaIlAthmajAcharaNayAvakapankalakshmIm Oh Rangarajapaaduka! Sive bears You on his head after cleansing his head, of all past red dye remanant, with the Ganga waters of his head. Nevertheless, Your Padmaraga gems bestow a beaming red colour on Siva's head to create an imagery of the red lac from Parvati's feet. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): SlOkam 603 1)UthtamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh RangarAja PaadhukE! RudrA's head wears You (SatAri) on his head. At that time, the red color from Your rubies fall on the head of Rudran washed by the white waters of GangA . That reminds me of the residue of the red lacquer dye from Parvathi's feet that stuck to RudrA's head , when he bowed before Her to quench Her anger as a part of their PraNaya kalaham . 2)SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that the supreme devotee of the Lord, Rudran, places the paasurams of Swamy NammAzhwAr on His head and becomes blemishless. 3) Rudran has a siras, which is made blemishless by the flow of the sacred GangA water, which arose from the Lord's feet during the ThrivikramAvathAram. On that head rests the Paadhukai of the Lord ( ThvAm Bhibratha: Girisasya GangA taranga vimalE mouLou). The red rays of ruby now fall on that sacred head of Rudran and enhances the red beauty marks that are already there (Tava PadhmarAgaa: mahasA LakshmIm samvardhayanthi). What is it that was there ? The red marks from the LaakshA Rasam of Paarvathi's feet lodged there during the lover's fight is there. The red rays from the rubies enhance that red hue..(V.S).
