Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 607. ayamanitharaBhOgAn ranjayan vItharAgAn aruNamaNigaNAnAm thAvakAnAm prakAsha: maDhuripupadharakshE! mankshu jAjvalyamAna: shalaBhayathi janAnAm shAshvatham pAparAshim Oh Paaduka! People, who have forsaken love in respect of all things, but cherish a love of the Padmaraga gems, would have their long- standing heaps of sins too consigned to the flame so to say, of the gems. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V. Sadagopan (V.S) 1. UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh MadhusUdhana PaadhukE! The Yogis characterized by their dispassionate nature are exhilarated when they see You. They are without raaga (attachment) or passion. Even these passionless acquire joy (passion ) from seeing You. The red glow from the rubies on Your body spreads everywhere and destroys the heaps of sins of the people like fire flies destroyed by an open flame. 2. SrImath Andavan's anubhaavam : The inner meaning is the paasurams sung by Swamy NammAzhwAr with great desire for his Lord are considered red gems (padhmarAgam). The meanings of these paasurams immerse the rasikAs in an ocean of aananadham. The comprehension of the meanings of AzhwAr's paasurams also destroys the sins of the listener just like the fire flies falling into a bright lamp. Even sinners listen to AzhwAr's paasurams with great delight and feel uplifted. 3. Here Swamy Desikan focuses on the Yogis , who do not cultivate any desires (veetha raagAn ) except attachment to the Lord ; they also do not enjoy anything (anithara-bhOgAn) except Bhagavath anubhavam. The shining assembly of the bright red rubies on the Paadhukais (jaajvalyamAnA: ThavakAnAm aruNamaNi gaNAnAm prakAsa: ) gladden (ranjayan) the hearts of these Yogis. The lustre from these red rubies destroys quickly and permanently the age old sins of people ( ThAvakAnAm aruNamaNi prakAsA: muhu: janAnAm saasvatham paapa-raasim salabhayathi)?(V.S)
