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

sAmanthamoULimaNimangalAdhIpikABhi:

 

Oh Rama-Paaduka! Subordinate kings bow and praise You,

nodding their heads for all praises; as they do so,

the radiance emanating from the gemstones

embedded in their crowns describe circles,

that give an imagery of a Harathi presentation,

appropriate to the Aradhana homage.

 

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

 

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

***********************************

 

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Raama PaadhukE !

The vasal kings were joyous about Yourself becoming

thier emperor.They encircled You and demonstrated their

approval by nodding their heads adorned with jeweled

crowns. The movement of their heads and the sparkles

of the jewels during that motion resembled the lamp

waving service to You.

 

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam : The inner meaning is

that all the AchAryAs undersood their role/duties

as AchAryAs ( AchAryakam ) after witnessing the way

in which Swamy NammAzhwAr performed His duties as

the AchAryan for Madhurakavi. The AchAryAs are filled

with wonder and Joy and celebrate immensely the role

model played by Swamy NammAzhwAr .

 

(3) The PaadhukAs are seated on the RaajAsanam .

Suddenly , there arose (samabhavath) a DhIpa NeerAjanam

(MangaLa Aaarathi )for the Paadhukais. Swamy explains

the nature and the origin of that DhIpa NeerAkjanam

in this slOkam and attributes that to the fast moving

heads of the vassal kings wearing their bejewelled

crowns... V.S
