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

 

595. prathyangmayasya haviSha: praNavEna dhEvi!

prakshEpaNAya paramArthavidhAm munInAm

prAjyAm mukundhacharaNAvani! padhmarAgai:

paryAyapAvakashiKhAm BhavathIm prathIma:

 

Oh Mukunda Paaduka! Those sages, who knew what is the Truth, what is

the supreme goal of man, perform to please You, with Your Padmaraga

gems, with PraNava chanting, a homa; the havis is their soul. The

fire with ghee oblations being poured on to, is Yourself (Atma

samarpana).

 

Namo Narayana,

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

 

SlOkam 595:

 

1)UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Paadhukai of the Lord , which

blesses one with Moksham! The rays of rubies are like the flames of

the holy fire used by the sages in YaagAs to submit their souls to

the accompaniment of PraNavam to attain freedom from the cycles of

births and deaths.

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PadhukE! The kaanthi of the rubies

on You is like the flames of Agni in sacrificial fire. Just like

the havis placed on the agni kuntam for specific devathAs with

manthram for them reaches them , the aathmA presented to

sadAchAryans reaches the Lord. There is no doubt about it.

 

3) The subject is about the jeevAthma svaroopa dhravyam offered

(prathyangmayasya havisha: ) by AchAryAs ( muninAm prEkshEpanAya) .

That is offered with Pranavam (SapraNavam) with huge amount of ghee (

praNavEna prEkshapaNAya prAjyAm). That offering is like an agni

JwAlai made up of the lustre of the rubies on the Padhukai (paryAya

paavaka sikhAm prathIma: ).
