Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 553. rangEshvarasya mrugayOscharaNAvasakthAm raksha:kapIndhramakutEShu nivEshayOgyAm manyE padhAvani! nibhaDdhavichithrarathnAm mAyAmrugasya rachithAmiva charmaNA thvAm Oh Paaduka! I believe the gem-studded paaduka that Ranganatha wears, namely, yourself, must have been made from the skin of the bogus-deer (of Maricha) which Rama chased and killed; the purpose was to enable the Paaduka to be placed as honour to the leaders of rakshasas and monkeys. (i.e., Vibhishana and Sugriva). Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan SlOkam 553: Special Notes by V.SatakOpan (V.S): 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh RanganAtha PadhukE! You appear like the illusory and brilliantly multi-colored skin of MaarIchA , who took the form of the most enchanting deer to gain SitA Piraatti's attention. Ramachandran hunted for the deer radiating many colors to bring it to SitA . It appears Ramachandran might have had another motive to hunt the deer. He wanted to place You as the decorartion on the crowned heads of VibhIshaNaa and SugreevA . In this regard , You remind me of the most beautiful skin of MaarIchA chased by the hunter, Raamachandran to create another Paadhukai shining with many colors for honoring the heads of His dear BhakthAs, SugrIvan and VibhishaNan as part of their coronation ceremony . 2) The Paadhukai has many radiant gems on it ( Vichithra rathnAm ). It is associated with the sacred feet of the Lord , the hunter , who went after the MaayA Maarichan, who took the form of the deer with beautiful skin and enchanting colored spots. It appears as though the Paadhukai is sewn together with the skin of Maarichan ( MaayA mrugasya charmaNA rachithAmiva manyE) by the Lord , who had the intention to place that colored and beautiful paadhukais on the head of the newly coronated SugrIvan and VibhishaNan ( Raksha: KapIndhra makudEshu nivEsa Yogyam ThvAm )Â….V.S ------------------------ Yahoo!
