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

 

405. rangaDhIshE saha kamalayA sAdharam yAyajukaI:

sAram dhivyam savanahaviShAm BhOkthumAhUyamAnE

nEdhIyOBhirnigamavachasAm nithyamamha: prathIpaI:

prathyAlApam dhishathi BhavathI pAdhukE! shinjithaI: svaI:

 

Oh Paaduka! When Lord Ranganatha proceeds to the yajnas, along with

Mahalakshmi, to partake of the 'homa-havis' having been lovingly

invited by the Vedic seers, You speak in words, very much like the

Vedas, ever the very opponent of sins, to the effect, " The Lord is

arriving " . That is how it appears to me!

 

Namo Narayana,

 

SriMuralidhara Dasan

 

Special Notes by V.Satakopan (VS): Slokam 405

 

(1) Utthamur Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! When those who

perform Vedic sacrifices (yaagams) call for Your Lord and His consort

to come and receive their offerings (havis) , Your naadham appears to

respond first to their invitations. Through Your sacred naadham equal

to the soundings of th veda manthrams , You seem to respond and advise

them ( the YajamAnAs of the Yaagam) that the divine couple are on

their way to accept the havis.

 

(2) The response of the Paadhukais to the call of YajamAnAs for

the acceptance of the aahuthis by the dhivya dampathis ay Yaagams

through its sweet naadham that is far superior in sacredness to

those of veda manthrams (nigama vachasAm nEdheeyObhi: nithyam aham

pratheepthai: svai: sinjithai: prathyAlApam disathi) is described

here. The Lord is moving with ardent desire to partake the delectable

offerings at the Yaj~nams with His divine consort ( yAyajUkE dhivyam

savana havishAm saaram bhOthum saadharam Rangadheesa: KamalayA saha

aahUyamAnE). The naadham generated durting His travel appears like

the response of the Paadhukais to the YajamAnan's call for acceptance

of the aahUthi…V.S
