Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

Dear Sriman Sadagopan Swamin,

Thanks for your excellent summary. Adiyen has a couple of related 
comments and questions in this regard. Is it possible that Swami 
Desikan is referring to the MahanarayaNOpanishad Vakyam "Madhu 
vatA rutAyatE madhakshranti sindhava:.......mAjeerghAvOBhavantuna:" 
as the sound of the bees? The presiding deity over Madhu is 
Madhusudhana who is saluted in the Narayana Upanishad as "BrahmaNyO 
Devaki putrO BrahmaNyO madhusUdhanOM". Since Swami NammAzhwar's 
outpourings contain the essence of this salutation, is it likely 
that Swami Desikan is embedding a subtle eulogy of the Supreme Lord 
through the "noise generated by the bees"?Also, Madhusudhana is 
recognized to be the granter of Moksham. The royal procession led by 
the Mani Padhukas riding on the elephant (Shatrunjaya) reunited the 
citizens of Ayodhya with Lord Rama. This reunion is a likely reason 
for the citizens of Ayodhya being granted Moksham. Is Swami Desikan 
referring to the role of Sadacharyas in pointing Prapannas to Lord 
Narayana in a similar fashion?

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan
