Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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


674. aDhigathabahushAKhaIrashmagarBhaprasUthaI:
maDhuripupadharakshE! mEchakaIramshujAlaI:
anitharasharaNAnAm nUnamAraNyakAnAm
kimapi janayasi thvam kIchakAraNyadhurgam

Oh Paaduka! The green multifaceted effulgence from Your emerald gems 
can create a fortress of bamboo forest, which can provide a safe 
asylum to the Vedas (named usually Aranyakas) and helpless forest-
dwellers. 

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 674:

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Swamy Desikan compares 
the green lustre of the emeralds of the Paadhukais to 
a green fortification that protects VedAs and Upanishads. 
He says: " Oh Madhusoodhana PaadhukE! You protect the helpless
forest dwellers (VedAs and Upanishads) just as the dense 
thickets of bamboos interlock with each other and protect 
those who reside inside the bamboo forest . You are even
better than the bamboos in strength. They are only strong 
at skin levels (superficially) and are weak in their
interiors.You are in contrast strong both inside and 
outside and with Your interlocking green rays like
the many interlocking branches of bamboos serve like
an impenetrable green forest for the VedAs and Upanishads.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:VedAs have a lot of
dangers from those , who misintrepret them. Our Lord has 
to protect the VedAs from these dangers. With AzhwAr's 
paasurams, our Lord makes it easy for every one to
comprehend the true meanings of the VedAs and saves
them from any misfortunes that may come their way.

3)Swamy Desikan refers here to an impenetrable forest
of Bamboos ( kimapi keechakAraNya dhurgam janayasi)
that is created by the many branched rays emanating
from the emeralds on the Paadhukais of the Lord 
( Thvam adhigatha bahu Saakhai: mEchakai: asmagarbha
prasUthai: amsu jAlai: kimapi dhurgam janayasi). 
What is this green , impenetrable fort and what is it
for? It is the interlocking rays of emralds forming 
an impenetrable bamboo forest (fort ) that protects 
the dwellers of this forest (VedAs), which have no
others to protect them ( anitharasaraNAnAm aaraNyakAnAm
keechakAraNya dhurgam janayasi)...(V.S).
