Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

843. rathnAmshuBhisthava thadhA maNipAdharakshE!
samrajyamAnavapuShAm rajanImuKhEShu
AkasmikAgathamadharshi mahoUShaDhithvam
sAkEthapatthanasamIparuhAm dhrumANAm

Oh Manipaaduka! When You were ruling over Ayodhya, the radiations 
from Your gems could fall on the trees near the city and make them 
phosphoresce at night. How the trees overnight became transformed 
into the traditional Mahowshadhis made the people wonder. 

(The Paaduka and similarly the Azhvars can by their effulgence make 
any one, whosoever it may be, shine with knowledge.)

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 843

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Swamy Desikan refers to special 
trees in the forest known as MahAushadi. They light up in darkness 
due to their florescence. He compares the trees around AyOdhyA , 
which light up like MahAushadi thanks to the power of the red rays of 
PaadhukAs. He says: " Oh MaNi PaadhukE! During the evening time , 
after Your sacred bath , Your rubies send out their brilliant red 
rays . They shine on the trees located on the outskirts of AyOdhyA 
and make them look like the unsuspected MahAushadi trees. " Until the 
red rays from the rubies of PaadhukAs fell on them , the trees of 
AyOdhyA looked like ordinary trees during the onset of night . Once 
Your red rays fell on them , they took the appearance of the 
flourescent trees of the forest.

(2) Yerivalli creepers are those , which are found on the slopes of
mountains and give out a red fluorescence at dusk . Oh PaadhukE ! 
the lustre from You during the time you reigned over AyOdhyA 
and protected the citizens spread to the trees near AyOdhya 
and made them look like Yerivalli creepers at dusk.

3) Oh MaNipAdha RakshE ! During the time of your reign
as the protector of the Citizens of AyOdhyA (TadhA ) ,
the lustre of your rubies was seen falling on the trees near 
the city of AyOdhya ( Tava RathnAmsubhi: samrajyamAna 
VapushAm SaakEtha-patthana-sameeparuhAm dhrumANAm 
adarsi) .What was the effect ? Your red rays lit them up 
(the trees) and made them glow like Yerivalli creepers
at dusk--- ( V.S).
