Oh Manipaaduka! When You were ruling over Ayodhya, the radiations
from Your gems could fall on the trees near the city and make them
phosphoresce at night. How the trees overnight became transformed
into the traditional Mahowshadhis made the people wonder.
(The Paaduka and similarly the Azhvars can by their effulgence make
any one, whosoever it may be, shine with knowledge.)
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
**********************************************
SlOkam 843
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Swamy Desikan refers to special
trees in the forest known as MahAushadi. They light up in darkness
due to their florescence. He compares the trees around AyOdhyA ,
which light up like MahAushadi thanks to the power of the red rays of
PaadhukAs. He says: " Oh MaNi PaadhukE! During the evening time ,
after Your sacred bath , Your rubies send out their brilliant red
rays . They shine on the trees located on the outskirts of AyOdhyA
and make them look like the unsuspected MahAushadi trees. " Until the
red rays from the rubies of PaadhukAs fell on them , the trees of
AyOdhyA looked like ordinary trees during the onset of night . Once
Your red rays fell on them , they took the appearance of the
flourescent trees of the forest.
(2) Yerivalli creepers are those , which are found on the slopes of
mountains and give out a red fluorescence at dusk . Oh PaadhukE !
the lustre from You during the time you reigned over AyOdhyA
and protected the citizens spread to the trees near AyOdhya
and made them look like Yerivalli creepers at dusk.
3) Oh MaNipAdha RakshE ! During the time of your reign
as the protector of the Citizens of AyOdhyA (TadhA ) ,
the lustre of your rubies was seen falling on the trees near
the city of AyOdhya ( Tava RathnAmsubhi: samrajyamAna
VapushAm SaakEtha-patthana-sameeparuhAm dhrumANAm
adarsi) .What was the effect ? Your red rays lit them up
(the trees) and made them glow like Yerivalli creepers
at dusk--- ( V.S).
