Oh Manipaaduka Devi! You are alone previleged to enjoy, all alone,

that youthful lad Ranganatha,then and there, quite often, his charm

would appear to make every moment of enjoyment new and unexperienced

ever till then, the process is continuous throughout; and His

un-ornamented form itself adds a charm as if it were one mode of

ornamentation; and He is a connoisseur of erotics,ever so also. And

He is all Yours throughout.

 

Namo Narayana,

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

 

1. Sri UtthamUr Swami's anubhavam : Here Swami Desikan describes the

times in which the prince of Srirangam is separated from Devi

PaadhukA, while He is united with His consorts Like Sri Devi, BhU

Devi

and NeeLA Devi et al . Swami says the eternally mischievous youth of

Srirangam is never far away from Devi PaadhukAs even during the time

of his intimate times with His Devis in the inner apartments of His

palace . At those times, You enjoy the splendor of His

beautiful ThirumEni bereft of His ornaments and Aayudhams . Oh

PaadhukE ! Your being close to Him during those occasions must also

be

a time of great joy for You .

 

2. Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! Independent of the

number

of times we have the blessings of Lord RanganAthA's darsanam , each

time it is a more delectable experience . Even if he presents

Himself

without any AbharaNams , it is a most delightful darsana anubhavam .

Oh PadhukE ! You are blessed to enjoy this Lord of Yours privately on

many an occasion .

 

3. Swami describes the youth of Srirangam (Sri RanganAthan ) as as

" SrungAra nithya rasikam Ranga yuvAnam " (the youthful Lord of

Srirangam , who is interested in enjoying srungAra rasam always) . He

salutes the Paadhukais for having the blessing of enjoying the Lord

at all times ( MaNi Paadha RakshE ! thvam yEkA kaalEshu nirvisasi).

At

some times , He adorns His AbharaNams and Aayudhams . Other times ,

His beautiful limbs shine with their own intrinsic beauty ( noothana

sannivEsam kaivalya kalpitha vibhUshaNa kaaya kaanthim ) . The

dhivya maNi paadhukais enjoy the Lord in different times with

various

aabharaNams or none at all in ekAntham . It is truly blessed to have

the bhAgyam of so many different kinds of sevai …V.S
