SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

246.vruttham kramENa bahuDhA niyutham viDhInAm 
arDham dvithIyamidham ankuritham thavAhna:

(The entreaty to come for Abhisheka:)"Oh Lord Ranganatha! A lakh of 
Brahmas have come and gone. 
(A lakh of your commands had been obeyed.) Everything has gone in 
strict order. The afternoon 
of the day-of course, all Time is subservient to You!-comes on. 
Goddess Neela has come 
accompanied by her mates, to present to You, (to be near You) Your 
Paaduka. Please consent to 
have Tirumanjanam."!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

(1)Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Here, the Upanishads
taking the form of euologisers suggest that the Lord
should take His MaadhyAhnika SnAnam , now that noon time
is approaching.They remind Him that He has descended from
GarudA , taken His stroll , blessed bhakthAs and the next
item on His agenda is His sacred bath due at noon time .
The Upanishads according to Swami Desikan address Lord
RanganAthA this way : " Oh PrabhO! The day at Srirangam
is half done.The half day on this earth is equivalent
to two thousand individual yugAs (time divisions) on
BrahmA's scale of counting .During the period upto
noon , You sat on Your throne with Sri RanganAyaki
and conducted the affairs of Your leelA vibhUthi.
You dispensed justice and blessed Your devotees.
Now , the second halfof the day is about to start.
NeeLA dEvi has sent Her assistants to bring Your
Paadhukais so that You can mount them and travel to
the site of Thirumanjanam for the performance of Your
noon rituals .

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam : Oh Lord RangAnaathA !
Many BrahmAs have come and gone. The Sixteenth Naazhikai has
now arrived. The Paadhukais brought over by the lady
servants of Nappinnai is hastening You to attend
to the noon abolutions.

(3) Swamy Desikan salutes the ancient nature of
Lord RanganAthA and His AchArya Paramparai here .
He has no beginning, middle or end (Adhi madhyAntha
rahithan). Swamy says in this context : " VidhInAm
niyutham kramENa bhaudhA vruttham" ( Many a Brahma ,
the count by Lakshams , have come and gone in orderly
succession ).It is the second half of Your day ( Tava
ahna: idham dhvithIyam ardahm ankuritham )that is just
commencing .The thOzhis (sakhis) of NeeLA PirAtti have
brought at Her behest Your MaNi PaadhukAs near You .Those
Paadhukais is hatening You to start on Your travel
to the abhishEka graham ( Thirumanjanam hall )...V.S

(4) It is intersting that Swamy Desikan thinks of
NeeLA PirAtti here .She is the One , who is bold
and can command the Lord as indicated by the ThiruppAvai
Taniyan of ParAsara Bhattar.That is why ANDAL appeals to Her,
when She sings Her Thiruppaavai and reminds the Lord of
His duties (PaarArthyam )..V.S
