Godha Stuthi - 19


tungairaruthrima gira: svyamutthamAngai:
yam sarvagandha ithi saadharam udhvahanthi
AmOdham anyam adhigacchathi maalikAbhi:
sOapi tvadhIya kuTila aLaka vaasithAbhi:

Here Swami Desikan describes how RanganAthan adorned the SooDikkoduttha Maalais and gained a wonderful kind of fragrance.

MEANING:
GodhE! The apourushEya VedAs declare reverentially through their
siras (head =Upanishads) that Your Lord is the possessor of a divine
fragrance that surpasses any thing found in Prakruthi maNdalam
(sarva Gandhan). That Lord adorns the garlands that drew their fragrance
from Your curly, dark hair and enhances His sarva gandhathvam.
He becomes joyous over the enrichment of His own divine fragrance
through the association with Your SooDikkoduttha Maalai.
How can one therefore describe adequately the power of the garlands
worn by You first and then presented to Your Lord?
