SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

 

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

 

443. BhOgAya dhEvi! BhavathI maNipAdharakshE!

padhmAsahAyamaDhirOpya BhujangathalpE

vishvasya gupthimaDhikruthya vihArahInA

vAchamyamA kimapi chinthayathIva kAryam

 

Oh Manipaaduka! Having let the Lord sit on the couch of Adisesha for

His pleasure, You reitre from movement and melody-singing. You

perhaps cogitate on some move designed to deal with world-protection.

 

Namo Narayana,

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

 

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: When one has to execute major

Projects , one has to concentrate and think about them . There should

be no disturbance or distraction at these times. In this context ,

Swamy Desikan inquires whether the Lord's Paadhukais have become

quiet suddenly to reflect on the serious matter of protecting the

universe. Swamy Desikan says: " Oh Mother ! It appears that You have

helped Sri RanganAthA and MahA Lakshmi ascend their bed of AadhisEshA

and stopped Your movements thereafter . Adiyen wonders whether You

have become silent to reflect on the ways to protect the universe and

its citizens from any harm that might come to them .

 

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! You help the Lord reach

His bed at the aasthAnam and then become silent . Your silence

suggests That You are deeply absorbed in thoughts about the Loka

KshEmam.

 

(3) The concerns of the Paadhukais about the well being of the

suffering people of the world ( Visvasya gupthim adhikruthya ) is

reflected in its becoming silent after bringing the Lord to His bed

of AadhisEshan ( PadhmA sahAyam Bhujanga TalpE bhOgAya adhirOpya ).

The Paadhukais reflect on how to save the samsAris from their

sufferings ( Visvasya gupthim adhikruthya kimapi kaaryam

chinthayathee iva)…(V.S)
