SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

 

230. samprEkshya maIThilasuthA maNipAdharakshE!

prathyugdhathasya BhavathIm Bharathasya moUloU

nirdhishya sA niBhrutham anjalinA purasthAth

Oh Manipaaduka Devi! Sita saw You on Bharata's head as he was

proceeding towards Sri Rama to receive Him. She did not open her

mouth to speak anything, but in a silent manner, she directed her

supplicated-hand towards You, seeing Tara and other lady-companions,

thereby enjoining them to pay their respects to You.

 

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

 

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

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

 

1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Gem-decked

PaadhukE ! When SitA Devi saw You approaching Her

and RaamA , while seated on Bharathan's head ,She

stood immobile and humbly folded her hands in

salutation to You. She also instructed Her dear

friends like TarA to offer their own salutations

to You.

 

2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: When SitA saw You

being brought on the head of BharathA towards Her

Lord , she pointed You with anjali mudhrA to Her

dear friends and directed them to offer their salutations

as well.

 

3) Swamy Desikan states that our ThAyAr saw the Paadhukais

on the head of BharathA ( MythilisuthA BhavathIm Bharathasya

mouLE samprEkshya). Not only did our ThAyAr see the worshipful

Paadhkais , but she also pointed them out reverentially to

He rpriya sakhis and directed them to offer their own

salutations ( anjalinA nirdhisya --priyasakhI:

praNanthum asishath ) . She folded Her hands first

with out any hesitation (purasthAth nibhrutham anjalinA

nirdhisya) and with the folded palms pointed the Paadhukais

to TaarA and other dear friends and suggested to them to

offer their own vandhanams ...V.S
