Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 613. sharaNAgathasasyamAlinIyam thava mukthamaNirashminirJharoUGhaI: nanu rangaDhurINapAdharakshE! jagathI nithyamadhaIvamAthrukABhUth Oh Paaduka! The arrays of pearls on You emit radiations that look like cascades in a water-fall of river. The green fields of prapannas secure this, without having to look for rains (which imply the shower of God's grace). Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): SlOkam 613: 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Swamy Desikan indicates here that those, who worship the paadhukais adorned with the pearls will attain satthva guNA and will become SaraNAgathAs and stay close to the paadhukais. He hints that mOksham is possible only through bhakthi yOgam or SaraNAgathy (the act of total self- surrender). In this context, Swamy also alludes to the two kinds of crops on this earth. One is nourished by the flowing waters of the river and streams .The other is nourished by rain waters. The first is recognized as "nadhi mAthrukai " and the second is known as "dEva mAthrukai ". Swamy Desikan says here: " Oh RanganAtha paadhukE! This earth is nourished by the waterfall of Your rays originating from your pearls and always makes the crops of SaraNAgathAs "adhaiva mAthrukAs" or those , who are not dependent on rain from the skies. They are nourished as in the case of "nadhi mathrukAs" through your waterfall like flow originating from your pearls. 2) SrImad Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! the lustre of the pearls on you never diminishes. It is like the huge flood waters that do not diminish even in the height of hot summer. Those flood waters nourish the crop of saraNAgathAs in all the worlds. The inner meaning is that from the time of Swamy NammAzhwAr's avathAram , all categories of people continue to seek the Lord as their protection and gain mOksham as a result of the upadEsams housed in the paasurams of SaThakOpan. 3) The crop of SaraNAgathAs (SaraNAgatha sasya mAlini) become independent of the waters from the skies (adhaiva-mAthrukA abhUth). How did that happen ? It is your rows of radiant pearls flowing like perrenial mountain sterams that causes it and sustains this crop of prapannAs always ( Tava mukthAmaNi raSmi nirjjara Ogai: nithyam adhaivamAthrukA abhUth)?.(V.S).
