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

 

260. aKhilAntha: puravArEShvanEkavAram padhAvani! svaIram

anuBhavathi ranganAThO vihAravikrAnthisahacharIm BhavathIm

 

Oh Paaduka Devi! When Lord Ranganatha has to have leisurely walk, He

wears You always. And You are always with Him whenever he moves to

the

particular consorts by turns. (In His enjoyment with You, no turn or

time constraint! it is always available to You)

 

Namo Narayana,

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

 

1. Sri UtthamUr Swami's anubhavam : Oh paadhukE ! Your Lord engages

in a lot of travel . You transport Him on those occasions . Depending

on the nature of the business at hand , You adopt a suitable gait .

Some times , You rush fast to get Your Lord to His destinations .

Other times , You move slowly as at the tiem of His patthi ulaa .

There are many variations in your gait ( Simha gathi, Sarpa gathi et

al ). Your Lord enjoys these different gathis in union with You. None

of His consorts have the good fortune to enjoy their Lord in so many

moods and contexts. Hence , adiyEn is convinced that You are the

foremost among His Devis .

 

2. Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! Lord RanganAthan adorns

You, wherever he travels. He ahs many Devis . He has created a

calendar to visit them separately to avoid any disagreements among

His

Devis. He enjoys You the most in all these programmed visits to His

Devis through travel with You .

 

3. Swami Desikan states here that RanganAthan has allocated

specific

times to visit His seven Devis and to keep peace in His antha; purams

(RanganAtha: akhila antha:pura vaarEshu vihAra VikrAnthan ). Such a

diplomatic Lord takes You as a companion during all those visits and

enjoys Your company many times ( BhavathIm sahacharIm svairam anEka

Vaaram anubhavathi ). Each cosort has one Vaaram ( turn ) , but the

Paadhukais have many turns to enjoy the Lord ( anEka Vaaram

anubhavathi )….V.S
