Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 608. prachuranigamaganDhA: pAdhukE! rangaBharthu: padhakamalasamruDdhim prathyaham BhAvayantha: dhaDhathi shakalayanthO gADamanthasthamisram samuchithamaruNathvam thAvakA: padhmarAgA: Oh Paaduka! Your Padmaraga gems simulate the sun in being red; in exuding Vedic fragrance; in unfolding and blossoming the lotus each morning, the sun is famous, whereas the Padmaraga gems can do the embellishment on the Lotuses of the Lord's Feet; But whereas the sun dispels the darkness of night- which is superficial, the Padmaraga lustre can remove the sin-heaps of the devotees accumulated over a long time. This is inner darkness. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan ( V.S) 1. UtthamUr Swamy' s anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! Your red rays have Vedic association . They enhance the beauty of Your Lord's lotus feet like the Sun that opens up the lotus flowers in the ponds. They remove the darkness of ignorance like the rising Sun (AruNa).Thus it has the many charactrestrics of the Sun. Swamy Desikan plays on the word "aruNathvam " in this verse, where he describes the property of the rubies. This word can mean the Sun at dawn or redness. He points out that the rubies are like the red Sun at dawn and carries out all the duties of the Sun. 2. SrImath Andavan's anubhavam : The inner meaning is that AzhwAr's paasurams house inside them the essence of Vedic fragrances .These paasurams are very dear to the Lord. They fill the minds of the listeners with auspicious information about the svaroopam and SvabhAvam of the Lord and destroy ajn~Anam thoroughly (V.S). 3. Oh PaadhukE ! Your rubies resemble the Baala Sooryan (ThAvakA: PadhmarAgA: aruNathvam dhadhathi) They contain inside the fragrance of the Veda manthrams ( nigama-gandhA: nivahathi). They are filled with the red hue of the inner soul of the Lord's feet ( Rangabharthu: padha kamala samruddhim bhAvayantha: ). They remove the deep darkness of nescience (ThavakA: padhmarAgA: ghADam tamisram sakalayantha: ).(V.S)
