Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 710. namathAm nijEndhranIlapraBhavEna mukundhapAdhukE! BhavathI thamasA nirasyathi thama: kaNtakamIva kantakEnEva Oh Mukunda-paaduka! As the adage goes, a thorn can be removed in one's body only by the application of a thorn. So also the internal darkness of we people has to be relieved only by a similar darkness emitted by Your blue gems. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): SlOkam 710 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Mukundha PaadhukE! With the dark lustre emanting from Your sapphires , You remove the dark attributes (TamO guNam) of the people , who prostrate before You.In this regard , You act like a thorn that is used to remove another thorn stuck in the flesh . 2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:One can ask as to how one dark object can remove/banish another dark object: the dark-hued sapphire banishing the dark ajn~Anam . Swamy Desikan uses the analogy of a thorn that is used to extract another thorn that is embedded in the sole of the feet . 3) Oh Moksha Daayaka Mukundha PaadhukE! You chase away the dark ajn~Anam of those who prostrate before You ( Bhavathee namathAm tama: nirasyathi). You perform this wonderous act with the bluish-black rays arising from Your IndhraneelA gems ( Bhavathee Tama: Indhraneela- prabhavEna nirasyathi). That act is like one thorn that is helpful to extract another thorn that is stuck in the flesh( kaNDakEnEva KaNDakamiva nirasyathi)..(V.S).
