anupallavi

 

sevi~nchE vaarikellanu chintaamaNiyaiyunaara

 

Word by word meaning:

 

 

sevin~nchE: for those who worship you

 

vaariki : to them

 

elanu : all

 

chintAmaNiyai: like a the chintaamaNi jewel

 

unnaraa? : is it there?

 

This sentence even though framed like a question is actually and an

exclamation. It means;

 

For all those who worship YOU, are YOU not there like a wish fulfilling

chintaamaNi stone!

 

Here the comparison of ambaa with the chintaamaNi ratnam is only a

hint. It is well known that the chintaamaNi ratnam (a percious stone)

can grant the wishes of those possess it. It is a wish fulfilling

wonder. But it grants only the wishes of the person who has it. On the

other hand, ambaaL grants not just the wishes of HER devotees, but what

is more appropriate for them. In this context, a beautiful quote from

shrii nisargadatta maharaj is quite appropriate. He says, God will take

care of us without our requests. Often we complicate things by asking

for unnecessary desires. Mother of the Cosmos knows what HER children

need inspite of their pestering demands for unnecessary things. In this

respect SHE is beyond comparison, hence, comparing HER with the

chintaamaNi ratnam can only be a hint.

 

Author the commentary further elaborates on this verse quoting few

names from the lalitaa trishatii, and a verse from shrii shankara's

miinaakShi stotram, celebrating this aspect of ambaaL.
