Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 535. bahurathnasamudhBhavam mayUrKham thava manyE maNipAdhukE! murArE: charaNOpagatham mayUrapinChi makutArOhaNasAhasam pramArShtum Oh Manipaaduka! The multicolour figure caused by different gems on You, looks like the peacock feather. May be, the one that had ventured to stay on the head of Sri Krishna has now clung to the feet to atone for the past offence! Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan SlOkam 535: 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: " Oh PaadhukE ! I wonder whether the peacock feather felt uncomfortable about its brazen act of ascending Krishna's crown and wanted to repent for that , by staying at the holy feet of the Lord". Swamy Desikan is referring to the multihued peacock feather(Mayil peeli) adorning the crown of Lord Krishna ;he compares those hues with the multicolored splendour of the gems adorning the paadhukais that protect the Lord's Thiruvadi. In this slOkam , Swamy Desikan connects the color of the peacock feathers seen on the head and feet of the Lord. 2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The many hues on You from Your gems remind me of the colors of the peacock feather. During KrishNAvathAram, that peacock feather got on top of the Lord's crown. Today , we see those colors on You adorning the Lord's Thiruvadi. That suggests to me that the peacock feather wants to make amends to the aparAdham of climbing to the Lord's Thirumudi during KrishNAvathAram by placing itself on You protecting the Lord's Thiruvadi. 3) Oh PaadhukE ! You generate a special assembly of lustre from the many gems that adorn You ( Tava Bahurathna-samudhbhavam mayUkham). That reminds of the multi-hued peacock feather (MayUra Pincham) that got on top of the Lord's crown during KrishNAvathAram. That peacock feather felt contrite and wanted to be pardoned ( MurArE: makuDArOhana saahasam pramArshtum) and therefore placed itself at the sacred feet of Your Lord (SaraNOpagatham mayUra pincham manyE)..(V.S). ------------------------ Yahoo!
