Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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


663. samayE maNipAdhukE! murArE: muhurantha: puramugDhachEtikAsthE
harithAn haridashmanAm mayUKhAmsthuLasIpallavashankayA kshipanthi

Oh Manipaaduka! When the Lord proceeds to the harem, the attendant-
maids, in their ignorance try to relegate, to the outer side, what 
they imagine to be Tulasi leaves but what are merely reflections from 
Your emerald gems!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):

SlOkam 663 :

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh MaNi PaadhukE! When You
approach Your Lord , the foolish lady servants of the inner 
chambers try to brush off Your emerald rays , thinking that 
they are tender shoots of TuLasi that have gotten loose from
the TuLasi garlands of the Lord . They vainly try to use 
their brooms to clear the floors from the "fallen green TuLasi " 
leaves. 

2) Swamy Desikan focuses here on a happening in the inner
chambers of His divine consorts. There are woman servants 
there (antha: pura chEDikA:). Swamy describes them as "mugdhA:
(asaDukaL or simpletons ). Why ? They witness the green rays
arising out of the emerald gems adorning the Lord's Paadhukais 
(haridasmanAm harithAn mayUkAn) . They mistake them out of
their foolishness to be sacred TuLasi leaves (TuLasi pallava 
sankayA) and try to sweep them away frequently ; they are 
thus engaged in a foolish act ( haridasmanAm harithAn 
mayUkAn muhu: kshipanthi)..(V.S)
