You are gold, with a lovable appearance. You remove people's burden of grief. The Lord, who is on a sport of walk, places His Lotus Feet on You and enhances Your charm. The Devas and the seers worship You from all directions. You acquire the halo of the spring (Vasantha). The Lord returned to You in a Vaikasi month and the added charm of that month is also evident from the blossoms of Champaka, Asoka, lotus, etc. You are really the Godess of Vasantha season, a veritable Vasanthalakshmi. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(V.S): slOkam 885 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam:Swamy Desikan compares the PaadhukAs that united with RaamA's feet after return from His exile to the joyous spring month of VaikAsi. He says: "Oh Golden PaadhukE ! with Your incomparable lustre, You serve Your Lord joyously in all His journeys and make Your devotees rid of their sorrows. As You move in every direction with Your Lord, DevAs, Yogis and righteous people shower flowers on You and make You prolong the prosperity and wealth symbolized by the spring month of VaikAsi ". 2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:The inner meaning is : (1) SadAchAryAs shine like melted gold through their Brahma tEjas (2) they banish the sorrows of those, who seek their protection (3) they have the eternal residence of Bhagavaan inside them (4) they have glories that are celebrated by VidhvAns from all corners of the globe (5) they are free of samsAra thaapams and are known for their aathma guNa poorthy. For all these reasons , SadaachAryAs generate joy and sukham that is enjoyed by all during the Vasantha kaalam that has the abundance of many kinds of fragrant and colorful flowers. 3) Swamy Desikan salutes the glories of Paadhukais and equates those glories to the fertile abundance seen duirng the Vasantha ruthu (Thvam Surabhi samaya Lakshmeem pushyasi) evident in all directions ( dhisi dhisi darsaneeyam) and enjoyed by the dEvAs (sumanObhi: darsaneeyam) . Those paadhukais have the union with the auspicious lotus feet of the Lord and possesses richness of a unique kind ( MaadhavEna krutha padha kamala SrI: ). The other richnesses associated with Vasantha kaalam are referred to by Swamy Desikan: (1) the beauty and lustre associated with ( the golden) SeNpaka tree ( kanaka ruchira kaanthi) , (2) the isvaryam of the sorrow-free AshOka tree (AshOka bhaarA), (3) the isvaryam of the lotus feet of the Lord ( MaadhavEna krutha padha kamala SrI:) and (4) the beauty and glories of lotus flower. All these attributes join together and helps Paadhukais of the Lord to enhance further the beauty of Vasantha ruthu/VaikAsi month ...(V.S ). ------------------------ Yahoo!
