Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

849. AsAdhya kEkayasuthAvaradhAnamUlam
kAlam pradOShamanirIkshya ramAsahAyam
manjupraNAdharahithA maNipAdharakshE
moUnavratham kimapi nUnamavarthayasthvam

Oh Manipaaduka! The promise that Dasharatha had made to Kaikeyi drove
Rama and Sita to the forest. This period of separation You did
rightly regard as tainted with great stigma. (It was pradosha period-
Trayodasi coexisting with dusk.) You, therefore, chose to be silent,
without emitting Your usual melodious sound.

(Azhvar's works are to be recited in proximate presence of the Lord).

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 849

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: On seeing the Paadhukais ,
Swamy Desikan is reminded of the MahA pradhOsham day ,
when one has to observe the vow of silence. MahA pradhOsham falls
at dusk on ThrayOdasi days. Swamy Desikan says: " Oh PaadhukE!
By giving the boon to KaikEyi, You have reached the status of MahA
pradhOsham (most inauspicious day) , when one can not worship the
Lord and His consort, since one has to observe a strict vow of
silence and immobility. You lose Your sweet sound during those
fourteen years and observed the vow of silence as a rsult of Your
sorrow in not being able to se and serve Your Lord ".

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! Lord Raamachandra
granted BharathA's request and You left as a result with Bharathan to
AyOdhyA to rule in the name of Your Lord . You left Raamachnadra
and for 14 years stayed without sanchAram on the throne of Raghu
Kulam. It was like MahA PradhOsham time for You since You stayed at
one place without generating Naadham from Your transport of Your Lord.
At MahA pradhOsham evening , One has to maintain silence and not
engage in visit to Bhagavath SannidhAnam.

3) Oh MaNi PaadhukE ! The time You had to stay away from Your
Lord and His DEvi due to the boon granted by King DasaraTA to queen
KaikEyi was like an extended period of PradhOsham for You (KEkayasuthA
varadhAna Moolam anireekshya RamAsahAyam PradhOsham). At that
difficult PradhOsham time , You observed Mouna Vratham without
generating Your normal delightful Naadham associated with Your
sanchArams ( PradhOsha Kaalam aasAdhya manju-praNAtha-rahithA kimapi
mouna vratham avarthaya ),,,(V.S).
