Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 614. aDhiviShNupadham parisPhuranthI navamukthAmaNinirmalaprakAshA paripuShyasi mangaLAni pumsAm prathipacchandhrakalEva pAdhukE! thvam Oh Paaduka! You reside at the Lord's Feet. Adorned with the pure spotless pearls, all new. You shine spotless white. The moon in the sky too shines so spotless and coveted, like a new pearl, on the prathama (after the New Moon). That single digit is believed to be auspices-conferring. Indeed You too are similarly auspices- conferrring. In fact You can be described as the First Digit of the Moon! Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): SlOkam 614 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Swamy Desikan compares the white radiance of the pearls on the PaadhukAs to the auspicious first day of Moon in the growing phase (Sukla paksham). The name for this crescent Moon is " Pratipath chandra kalA ". People look at it to gain auspiciousness. Swamy says: " Oh PaadhukE ! You stay at the holy feet of your Lord and carry the white lustre of Your blemishless pearls . During this time , You appear like the pratipath chnadra kalA , which confers auspiciousness on all those, who see it. That Chandra kalA also looks like a new pearl on You ". 2) The inner meaning is that Swamy NammAzhwAr incarnated in This world and blessed us with (blemishless) pearl-like paasurams. As a result , kshEmam for the whole world results even today just like viewing the first phase of the Moon during sukla paksham. 3) Oh PaadhukE! You confer all auspiciousness on people of the world similar to the first crescent of the growing Moon ( Thvam Prathipath chandra kalA iva pumsAm mangaLAni paripushyasi). That auspiciousness arises from Your new and radiant row of pearls that stay close to the Lord's Thiruvadi ( Thvam adhivishNupadham parisphuranthi nava mukthAmaNi nirmala prakAsA paripushyasi)?(V.S).
