Oh Manipaaduka! When the slightly bending Ranganatha gets reflected 
in the emerald stone layer of yourself, it creates a mysterious 
vision in my mind; You perhaps wish to exhibit, in a reminiscent 
view, the image of the Lord reclining on a fig leaf once upon a time! 
(See verse 841)

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 717

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Here, Swamy Desikan describes
the moment , when RanganAtha bends slightly to place His
feet in to the PaadukAs. His shadow falls on then on the rows of
emeralds adorning the center portion of the PaadhukAs.Swamy Desikan
describes the effect of that sacred image on his mind. He says: 
" Oh MaNi PaadhukE! Prior to entering You , Your Lord bends to
position His feet. At that time , the reflection of His divine
body is seen on the rows of Your emeralds at Your mid portion. 
That green image/reflection reminds me of the Lord displaying
His VaDapathra sAyee form lying on a pupil leave at the time 
of MahA PraLayam.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that
PerumAL rests on the pupil leaf without any worry about 
the safety of Jeevans ,who are positioned safely inside
His stomach . Similarly , PerumAL is free of worries about 
Jeevans during the time of the presence of His sadAchAryAs 
in His leelA VIbhUthi . 

3)Oh PaadhukE! The Lord of Rangam sees Himself reflected on
Your beautiful green emerald gems as He bends to position 
His feet inside You before the start of His sanchAram 
( Rangapathi: pAdhArpaNAth praTamatha: haridasma ramyE 
Tava madhyE prathiphalan). At that time , He seems to point
out as comparison for His reflected image on emeralds ,
the scene at the time of universal deluge , when He 
rests on a pupil leaf ( Tava MadhyE prathiphalan ,
yugAnthE nyAgrOdha pathra sayitham nija roopamEva
nidarsayathi manyE)...(V.S).
