Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 685. charaNAvani! BhAthi sahyakanyA harinIladhyuthiBhisthavAnuviDdhA vasudEvasuthasya rangavrutthE: yamunEva svayamAgathA samIpam Oh Paaduka! Your sapphires have shed their lustre and hue on the river Kaveri; when it is of dark waters flowing near Srirangam; one wonders if it were the Yamuna that had come to please and serve Krishna, resident here! Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): SlOkam 685: 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : "Oh PaadhukE! River Cauveri originating from the sahyA mountains blends with the blue rays of Your sapphire and shines like Yamuna river flowing near BrindhAvan to serve KrishNa". All agree that RanganAthA is indeed KrishNa. Here, Swamy Desikan states that the dark blue sheen attained by CauvEri at SrIrangam makes it look like YamunA , which has come to SrIrangam to be close to its Lord. YamunA is known for its dark-hued stream. 2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! When the bluish lustre of Your sapphires fall on the Cauveri with its reddish swirling waters , they convert them in to a dark bluish-black hue.This makes one think that the dark watered YamunA has arrived at SrIrangam spontaneously to be near Her Lord , who played on Her banks during KrishNAvathAram. 3) Swamy Desikan addresses the Lord as the One resting under the Ranga VimAnam as the son of VasudEvar ( RangavrutthE: VasudEva suthan). When the intense bluish hue of the sapphire from His Paadhukais ( Tava Harineela dhyuthibhi: bhAthi) fall on the daughter of Sahya Mountains , Cauveri , then that Cauveri with reddish waters transforms in to a dark blue color , which makes one think as though the river Yamunai has come near her Lord to serve Him ( sahyakanyA Tava Dhyuthibhi: YamunEva bhAthi)..(V.S).
