Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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


667. acChEdhyarashminiyathaIrGhatithA haridhBhi:
sadhvarthmanA gathimathI maNipAdharakshE! 
sandhrushyasE savithrumaNdalamaDhyaBhAjO
rangEshvarasya raThasampadhivAparA thvam

The movement of the Padhuka with unceasing green radiance from 
emeralds, as also the movement of the sun's chariot drawn by horses, 
in the celestial orbit is for the procession of Lord Ranganatha. It 
is he who stands on the Paaduka and is in the centre of the solar 
globe. 

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 667 

1) UtthamUr Sawmy's anubhavam: Here , Swamy Desikan 
equates the Paadhukais to another chariot of the Sun. 
The Paadhukais like the Sun's chariot (RaTam) are tied
with ropes. In the case of the Paadhukais , the green 
rays of the emeralds are the binding ropes. They both 
travel on divine routes. The Lord travls on the paadhukas
as well as on the other chariot of the Sun as Soorya 
Mandala Madhyasthan. Swamy says: " Oh MaNi PaadhukE! 
You appear like a second chariot of SooryA , where 
its horses are tied for travel in the star-studded 
skies . This time the green ropes that tie the horses
to the chariot are the rays of Your emeralds that are
imposisble to break apart. Your Lord is travelling on You
as the seated person at the center of the solar orbit 
(Soorya Mandalam).

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! On You are
enmeshed the beautiful green emerald gems. PerumAL wears
You and travels on MangaLa maargams. When we look at You , 
we recognize You as being equivalent to the chariot of
the Sun. PerumAL is seated at the center of the orbit of
the Sun .The inner meaning is that the AchAryAs are the raTams
for our Lord , who approaches the prapannAs through travel
on the chariot of AchAryAs.The jeevan comprehends the Lord
through AchAryAs alone. 

3)SrI RanganATan is saluted by Swamy Desikan as 
" Savithru maNDala madhya bhAjan " here . The Paadhukais
are recognized as " aparA RaTa:" or the other chariot 
of the Lord. This chariot traveling on the auspicious 
routes (sadhvardhatmanA gathimathi) is tied to the horses 
that draw it with green emerald ray ropes firmly ( acchEdhya 
rasmi niyathai: gaDithA). The Lord seated on You serving 
as the other chariot of Sooryan is now possessed with
a great wealth ( savithru maNDala madhya bhAja:RangEswarasya 
aparA raTa samapdhi iva samdhrusyasE)...(V.S).
