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) .
