Raṅgeśvarasya tava ca praṇayānubandhāt
anyonya-mālya-parivṛttim abhiṣṭuvantaḥ |
vācālayanti vasudhe rasikās trilokīṃ
nyūnādhikatva-samatā-viṣayair vivādaiḥ || 21 ||
Extolling
the exchange of garlands between you and the Lord of Śrīraṅgam,
which arises from the loving relationship between You Two,
Your devotees on earth
people of taste
make the Triple Worlds debate noisily
whether You are superior or inferior to Him, or
whether You are equals!
Notes
Such debates are clearly not new to Śrī Vedānta Deśika! The point here, though, seems to be that such noisy debates, although not unimportant, simply miss what is most germane: the celebration of transcendental love, which is what underlies the entire cosmos.
