Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

 

196. Avarjitham munigaNEna jagadhviBhUthyaI

thOyam padhAvani! thadhA thvayi manthrapUtham

mUlAvasEkasalilam nigamadhrumANAm

shApOdhakam cha samaBhUth kshaNadhAcharANAm

 

Oh Paaduka! The waters that were poured over You

in ceremonial ablution by arrays of sages, with

mantra-consecration, for the good of the world,

became water supplied to the roots of the

Veda-trees and, at the same time, curse-water

condemning the Rakshasas. Your Abhisheka was thus

auspicious in a two-fold sense.

 

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

 

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

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

 

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

the holy waters of Your coronation bath were made

even more sacred by the Vedic recitations

of the assembled sages .They accomplished three things:

(1)They removed the blemishes associated with KaikEyi's

aparAdham(2)they fed the roots of the tree of VedAs

and nourished it(3) they served as the waters used

(abhimanthritha theertham) to destroy the RaakshasAs .

 

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

the incarnation of the AchAryAs and AzhwArs leads to

the growth (Vruddhi) of VedAs and SaasthrAs. Their

avathArams chase away the Kaama-KrOdha-Madha-lObha-

mAthsaryam of the deluded citizens.

 

(3)The beneficial consequences of the holy coronation

waters consecrated (mathra pUtham thOyam)by these

great rishis are:(1)nigama dhrumANAm mUlaavasEka

salilam ( Water added to the root of the tree of Vedam )

(2) KshaNadhAcharANAm saapOdhakam ( the waters used for

cursing the RaakshasAs)... V.S
