Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

858. rAjyE vanEpi raGhuvIrapadhOchithAyA: 
samsmruthya goUthamavaDhUparirakshaNam thE
manyE samAhithaDhiyO maNipAdhukE! thvAm
mUrDhnA Bhajanthyanudhinam muniDharmadhArA:

Oh Manipaaduka! Whatever You achieved in the kingdom or in the forest 
befits Your post; that is Rama's throne and Rama's foot. In the 
former, You took care of protection of the land; in the latter, You 
afforded revival and safe existence to Ahalya, Gowtama's wife. Re-
meditating on this aspect again and again, the wives of sages have 
given their hearts to You and always hold You on their heads and 
worship You. 

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 858

1) UthtamUr Swamy's anubhavam: After describing the blessings 
conferred on AadhisEsha and MahEswara , Swamy Desikan shifts 
his attention now to the wives of the sages of the forest .He says:
" Oh PaadhukE ! Your central concern is to protect and help 
the people , whether You are travelling in the forest with Raama or 
sitting on the throne in AyOdhyA . In the forest , You blessed Ahalya 
and transformed her back in to the state of a woman from that of a 
stone. All the wives of the sages of the forest recall with affection 
Your help to Ahalya snd prostrate before You daily for Your generous 
act ".

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! The wives of Sages of the 
forest know that (a)You never leave the Lord's sacred feet and (b)
Your saving Ahalya, their friend once upon a time. Therefore , they 
hold You with high reverence on their heads.

3) Oh PadhukE ! The wives of the Rishis (Muni-dharmadhArA:)
know that You do not leave Your Lord's sacred feet, be it in the 
forest or at AyOdhyA ( rAjyE vanEapi Raghuveera padha 
uchithAyA: ).They think of Your protection of Ahalya ( Gouthama 
vadhU parirakshaNam samsruthya). Recalling both of these glorious 
deeds , the Rishi pathnis hold You in high reverence and keep You on 
their heads ( samsmruthya , samAhitha dhiyA moordhnA ThvAm 
bhajanthi) ...(V.S) .
