Ela ni daya RAdu?paraku jEsedavela? samayamu gadu...... - III

Soon Swamigal was his usual self and he was deeply moved by the heartfelt, unbounded grace of his beloved deity; that handsome prince of Ayodhya, standing before the entrance of his residence was in full divine glory; Lakshmana the very essence of service to his Lord and brother was there standing in all glory.

The unsurpassed beauty of the two princes had its own impact of a very high order. Swamigal's mind just melted for the award of divine grace by his beloved Rama.

"My dear Rama, all these days before this darsan i spent even a yugam (time) as a second. But, oh! now after having your darsan, I feel that each moment of separation from you has turned a yuga by time for me.How can I survive dear Rama, separation from you?" 

Divine discontent is a great indicator of a true devotee.

Then Swamigal paints the picture of the unequalled 'roopa lavanyam' of Sri Rama as well his lord's boundless and immeasurable 'guna mahathmyam', in the kruthi 'Ela ni daya radu?........samayamu gadu.....(Ela)   
     
Now swamigal describes the two princes, Sri Rama and Lakshmana  standing there in full divine glory. when they left for yaga rakshanam with Viswamithra they both were just 14 years by age. 

Now only we come to the meaning of the anupallavi.

' Bala! kanakamaya chela! sujana paripala! SriRamalola! vidrutasara-
                      jala! subada! karunalavala! gananila! navya vanamalikabarana! .....................(Ela)

All these are sambodanams, i.e.addressing Sri Rama thus:- 
                      
'Young boy! 
dressed in silk garment of gold weave! 
protector of the righteous people!
very well in unison with Srimahalakshmi devi! 
bearer of the the different arrow units!
awarder of auspiciousness!
carrier canal of the perennial river of the divine grace! 
one having his body in the deep blue like the rain-clouds! 
you who wear the fresh plucked Thulasi leaf garland as ornament!
