Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 559. AsannavAsavashilAshakalAsthvadhIyA: padhmEkshaNasya padharakshiNi! padhmarAgA: samBhAvayanthi samayE kvachidhuShNaBhAnO: sadhya: prasUthayamunAsuBhagAmavasThAm Oh Paaduka! The (blue) sapphire gems and the (red) rubies in You exhibit a situation dating back to the day when the sun (red) had then only given birth to the Yamuna river (blue). Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.SadagOpan (V.S): SlOkam 559: 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukAs of the Lord ! The dark bluish sheen of Your sapphires mingling with the lustre of Your dark red rubies reminds me of the newly born river YamunA flowing next to her father Sooryan.( PurANAs describe YamunA to be the daughter of Sooryan. The coexistence of the dark blue and red lustre on the PaadhukAs remind Swamy Desikan of the dark daughter and the bright red Sooryan, the father ). 2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The combination of the dark blue colors of sapphire with the red rubies gives the appearance of the infant daughter Yamuna resting on the lap of the father , Sooryan. The inner meaning is that the clear enjoyment of the union of the AzhwAr with the Lord as expressed in his paasurams is like the white diamond (Sooryan ) and the vislEsham ( sorrow from separation from the Lord is like the bluish sapphire (YamunA). 3) Vaasava silA is Indhra neelam or sapphire. Padhmaraagam is the red ruby. They exist side by side beautifully with each other on the paadhukai of the Lord( aasanna Vaasava silA kachith-samayE Thvadheeyaa: PadhmarAghA: ruchiraa: ). That reminds Swamy Desikan of the just born dark-hued daughter YamunA United with her father, Sooryan ( kachith-samayE UshNabhAnO: sadhya: prasoodha: YamunA subhagAm avasTAm sambhAvayanthi)Â…(V.S). ------------------------ Yahoo!
