Oh Paaduka! During the Lord's walk, the mutual collision of gemstones

causes the sound. That, however, appears to my mind as promising,

clearly, to the seekers of protection, that the Lord possesses a

natural, rightly famous, gentility that will never fail.

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): SlOkam 432

 

1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Here, Swamy Desikan points out

that the gems embedded in the Paadhukais give rise to a sweet sound,

when they rub against each other. That sound seems to announce to all

that the Lord seeks their welfare at all times. This compassionate

and caring quality is known as "aanrusamsyam". The opposite

of "aanrusamsyam" is "nrusamsyam", which denotes that the possessor

of latter quality will cause injury to others. Swamy Desikan says: "

Oh PaadhukE! When RanganAthan moves about , the embedded gems inside

your kumizhi (toe hold) get shaken and collide against one another.

At that time , a sweet sound emerges , which seem to broadcast the

unqualified supermacy of Ranganathan as Aanrusamsyan

to all the creatures of the world.

 

2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The naadham generated by the

Paadhukais seem to say: " PerumAl has unlimited Dayaa towards all

chEthanams. Please seek His refuge. He is Aanrusamsya Moorthy and

therefore offer prapatthi at His sacred feet and chase away your

sorrows."

 

3) Oh PaadhukE! You seem to broadcast to the seekers of protection

about the sakala bhUtha DayA /aanrusamsyam of Your Lord (

RangEswarasya Sakala Janthushu aanrusamsyam RakshArTinAm praTayasi

iva)…(V.S).
