SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

 

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

 

 

714. maNimoULishathEna bimbithEna praNathAnAm paritha; surAsurANAm

muraBinmaNipAdhukE! mahimnA yugapath thEShu samarpithEva BhAsi

 

Oh Manipaaduka! The Devas and Asuras come and bow in their large

numbers. You are reflected in the crowns of all, all at the same

time. For a moment they are struck with awe at Your being placed on

the crowns of so many worshippers and wonder whether it be not

because of Your greatness!

 

Namo Narayana,

 

SriMuralidhara Dasan

 

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

 

SlOkam 714

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's aubhavam: Oh PaadhukE of MurAri !

On all sides , DevAs and asurAs are assembled to wear

You on their heads . The crowns on their heads get

reflected simultaneously on Your gems. It appears then

that You are residing on all their crowned heads simultaneously.

Swamy Desikan says that there is a huge crowd of devotees

waiting to recieve SatAri on their heads during the festival

times . There is a delay in satisfying all of them.The reflections

of the crowned heads of the assembled devotees on the gems of

PaadhukAs seem to solve the delay problem by holding

together all of the images simultaneously.

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! When one sees

the many reflections of the crowns of the DevAs and asurAs

on Your shiny gems , it appears as though You

are present in each one of their kirItams. Even if You

are one entity , You appear as though You have taken

thousands of forms to occupy every one of the crowned heads of

the asurAs and DevAs standing in front of You to offer

their prostrations.You seem to have mysterious powers to

be present on tens of thousands of crowned heads just as

Lord KrishNA took tens of thousands of forms at DwArakai

to be present as the Master of the House at every one

of the 16,000 abodes of the women , whom he had married

after NarakAsura Vadham.Both of You ( Your Lord and Yourself)

seem to share this MaayA sakthi.

 

3)Oh Paadhukais of the Lord , who destroyed the asuran

by the name of Muran (Murabhin-maNi PaadhukE)! All around You

are the DevAs and asurAs . Your images are reflected on each of

their gem-studded crowns ( praNathAnAm surAsurANAm paritha:

BhimBithEna maNimouLi sathEna bhAsi). You seem to exercise

mysterious power to reside at many places /crowned heads

at the same time( sva-mahimnA tEshu yugapath samarpithEva

bhAsi)...(V.S).
