Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 542. mukthAmayUKhaprakaraI: suBhadhrA kruShNA mahEndhrOpalarashmijAlaI: manyA murArErmaNipAdhukE! thvam vihArayukthA vijayam vruNOShi Oh Manipaaduka! You stroll around in sport every-where and secure victory for the Lord. Appropriately You are Subhadra (beautiful) by reason of the white pearls and their radiance; and Krishna (Draupadi) (of dark dalliance) by reason of the sapphire gems. Being so, You are naturally like Arjuna that is vijaya (victory). Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.SatakOpan(V.S): SlOkam 542: 1) UtthamUr Sawmy's anubhavam: Here, Swamy Desikan uses the double meaning of the words "Subadraa and KrishNaa. Subadraa and KrishNaa (Droupadhi) are the two wives of ArjunA . SubadrA also means one , who is very auspicious. KrishNaa means one , who is dark. It is well known that ArjunA was the dear friend of Lord KrishNaa and they were happy together during campaigns of exploration and adventure. Swamy Desikan compares one PaadhukA to Subadraa and the other to Droupadhi. Lord's travel on both of them are like ArjunA's sweet company. Swamy Desikan says: " Oh MaNi PaadhukE! With the white auspicious lustre of Your pearls (Subadraa) and the dark blue lustre of Your sapphires (KrishNaa) , You become fit for the sports of Your Lord with Arjunaa. 2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Subadhra and Droupadhi are the two wives of Arjuna, the dearest friend and sishyA of the Lord . The inner meaning is that the two Paadhukais are joyously married to the Lord and are serving His sacred ThiruvadikaL. 3) The dark blue (Indraneelam ) gem stones and the whilte hued pearls on the Paadhukais compared to the two wives of ArjunA . Dhroupadhi is the dark hued wife and SubhadhrA is the fair complexioned one. Droupadhi is saluted as " mahEndrOpala rasmi jaalai: KrishNA ". SubhadhrA is acknowledged with respect as " MukthA MayUkha prakarai: SubadhrA). The two are celebrated by the Lord ( MurArE: MaanyA Thvam ) and sport with Him and bring victory to Him ( MaanyA Thvam vihAra YukthA , vijayam vruNOshi)Â…(V.S). ------------------------ Yahoo!
