Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 622. rangEshapAdhaprathipannaBhOgAm rathnAnuviDdhaIrmahithAm shirOBhi: mukthAvadhAthAm maNipAdhukE! thvAm mUrthim BhujangADhipathE: prathIma: Oh Manipaaduka! I dare say You are an incarnation of Adisesha! Whereas You have the previlege of enjoying his Feet, Adisesha in snake-body enjoys the revered Rangesa, Sri Rangesapada! Both get respectability from the gems on top. If You get a white lustrous surface by virtue of the pearls, Adisesha is pearl-white! Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V. Sadagopan (V.S): SlOkam 622 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! We recognize You as AdhisEshA , the Lord's close companion. We wonder whether AdhisEshA himself has taken Your form to protect the Lord's feet, when He travels. There are so many similarities between You and AdhisEshA, which makes us think this way. Both of You serve the Lord and derive great pleasure through that service. Both of You have gems adorning Your head portions. AdisEshA has a white color like Your pearls. The word " BhOga" used by Swamy Desikan in this verse can mean either a serpent (AdhisEshA ) or enjoyment. 2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! You are enmeshed with priceless pearls. You display a radiant white hue. PerumAL is placing His Thiruvadi on You. The heads of BrahmA and others rest on Your surface. In this state, You remind adiyEn of AdhisEsahn , who is white in hue and the Lord is resting on him. Like You, AdhisEshan has countless jewels on His hoods. 3) Oh PaadhukE! We think of You as having the resemblence to PerumAL's bed , AdhisEshan ( ThvAm BhujangAdhipathE: mUrthim pratheema ). Why ? Both of You have the sukham arising from union with Lord's Thiruvadi ( SrirangEsa padha prathipanna bhOgAm ). Both of You are celebrated for the head adorned with many gems ( rathna anuviddhai: sirObhi: mahithAm ) . Both of You are radiantly white in hue ( mukthA avadhAtAm )...(V.S)
