Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

679. padhmABhUmyO: praNayasaraNiryathra paryAyahInA
yathsansargAdhanaGhacharithA: pAdhukE! kAmachArA:
thArAsaktham thamiha tharuNam prINayathO jarathyO
nithyashyAmAsthava marathakaIrnUnamAmnAyavAcha:

Oh Paaduka! The Lord enjoys love-sport with His consorts in an 
unparalleled manner, without any limitation of time or space applying 
restriction. Those who adhere to Him become blameless therefrom, 
though they were licentious and sinners previously; they become 
liberated and free and unfettered Kamacharas in His world. He is ever-
youthful and engaged in sport with consorts. Rather He resides firmly 
in the Pranava mantra. 

The Lord of the ever-youthful vigour, Vedic sayings-old and hoary by 
antiquity-praise. But these Vedic expressions would surely acquire 
and ever-young, ever-fresh, green complexion when once the 
luminescence from Your green gems fall on them.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(V.S)

SlOkam 679

1)UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! The pleasure that
RanganAtha gets from listening to the songs of the VedAs 
about the glory of Your emeralds exceeds even the pleasure 
He recieves through His companionship with SrI Devi, BhUmi Devi 
and Nappinnai and all the maidens of BrindAvanam. Ancient(old) 
VedAs through their praise of Your emralds regain their youth 
and serve Your ever-youthful Lord , who transforms the lust-driven , 
wilful people in to sinless devotees . Swamy desikan refers 
here to the blessings conferred by the rays of emeralds as 
"nithya shyAma anubhavam" or eternal youthfulness or a state 
of forever being green.Swamy points out that those who worship 
the PaadhukAs attain the nithya shyAma anubhavam.

2)SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! MahA Lakshmi,
BhU dEvi and the five laks of gOpa shtrees display great
affection (preethi) for the Lord , who is eternally young 
(nithya yuvA /iLankumaran). That eternally young Lord has
great affection for the old lady of Vedam.When the green 
rays of emeralds fall on the old ladies of Vedam , they 
get transformed in to young girls. ShyAmA means dark green 
as well as a young girl.

3)The eternally young PerumAL is associated with PraNavam 
( ThAra aasaktham tamm taruNam). The ways of love of both 
SrI Devi and Bhumi Devi to that nithya yuvA is competitively 
uneven ( Yathra PadhmA-bhUmyO: praNaya sariNa: paryAyaheenA).
The intensely passionate Gopis driven by their love for Him 
broke even saasthraic injunctions in their display of affection
for that nithya yuvA and became blemishless as a result
of their union with Him ( KaamachArA: yathsargAth anaga 
charithA: ).The Vedas are old (ancient)ladies ( Jarathya:
aamnAyavAcha:). Oh PaadhukE! When the green rays from 
your emerlads fall on them (old VedAs), they get transformed 
in to youthful girls and please the Lord ( Tava maratakai:
nithyashyAmA: preenayanthE)..(V.S).
