Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:

662. savilAsagathEShu rangaBharthu:
thvadhaDhInEShu bahiShkruthO garuthmAn
aDhigacChathi nirvruthim kaThanchith
nijarathnaIsthvayi pAdhukE! niviShtaI:

Oh Paaduka! When the Lord takes a stroll wearing You, Garuda has no 
role of carrying the Lord. He has, however, no regrets; his 
consolation is that You are adorned with green Marakata gems, which 
have Garuda as their devata.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan



Specail Notes by V.S

Slokam 662:

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! Garuda thinks 
that the Lord's steps are not as beauitful , when He rides 
on him compared to the steps that He ( the Lord) takes on You.
Therefore as the Lord of Emeralds , he (Garudan) presents You
with the gems named after him .This way , Garuda has 
the opportunity to participate vicariously in the travels of
the Lord on You.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! Garudan experiences
sorrow , when he sees the joyous way in which the Lord travels
on Your back. He wishes htat he had that bhAgyam. He consoles
himself with the thought that the stones associated with his
name is enmeshed on the Paadhukais and that the Lord's Thiruvadi
is connected to those emeralds. 

The inner meaning is that the Sanskritic Vedams are saddened 
when they hear the ThiruvAimozhi recitation , The Vedams long
for the Lord to hear them. Then , the Vedams console themselves 
with the thought that the ThiruvAimozhi deals after all with
the meanings of the Veda Manthrams. Even if ThiruvAimozhi is
not rooted in Sanskrit , the Vedams feel consoled that 
the meanings of their manthrams are covered by Swamy 
NammAzhwAr in His aruLiccheyalkaL.

3) Lord RanganAtha has many kinds of steps , while He 
travels on Paadhukais in a sporitng manner ( Ranga bharthu: 
TvadhadhInEshu savilAsa gathEshu Thvayi adhigacchathi). 
When garudan witnesses this scene , he feels rejected
and becomes dejected ( garuthmAn bahishkrutha:). Then
he comforts himself by thinking that You are adorned 
after all by the stones for which he is dEvathai
( GaruthmAn Thvayi nivishtai: nija rathnai: kaTamchith 
nirvritthim adhigacchathi)....(V.S)
