SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

 

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

 

250. ithi nigamavandhivachasA samayE samayE gruhIthasanketha:

aBhisarathi ranganATha: prathipadhaBhOgAya pAdhukE! BhavathIm

 

Oh Paaduka! The Lord Ranganatha thus proceeds to each of the regular

activity (referred to as asana), on the suggestion by the panegyrists

who are virtually Vedas in the Lord's case. For every such asana in

accordance with the implicit scheme, (known to the Lord and to You),

He wears You with fondness.

 

Namo Narayana,

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

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

 

(1)Sri UtthamUr Swamy 's anubhavam: In the last eight slOkams ,

PaadhukA's kaimkaryams from dawn to night were described.

In this slOkam , Swami Desikan points out that RanganAthA

enjoys the proximity (Closeness) of His consorts at night ,

whereas He enjoys union with His Paadhukais during

the whole day. Here Swami Desikan hints at the union

between the Lord and SatAri Soori NammAzhwAr , which

is more frequent and intense than with His own consorts .

Swami Desikan says: " Oh PaadhukE ! Lord RanganAthA is

cued in by the VaithALikAs about the different

occasions during the day and night , when He should

unite with You . Your Lord benefits from those

promptings and joins You with great affection " .

 

(2)Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! Thus when

the Upanishads alert You about the different time divisions

of the day and night , You adorn Your Paadhukais to enjoy

those occasions .

 

(3) Swami Desikan salutes Lord RanganAthA and His

Paadhukais through the words of the Upanishads

( Nigama Vandhi vachas ).The Upanishads alert Lord

RanganAthA about the various activities of the day

in a timely manner (SamayE samayE ) so that He can

enjoy ( prathipadha BhOgAya) the sukham of

union with His Paadhukais ...V.S
