Oh Lord's Paaduka! You would almost purchase the hearts of all people

for Your elegant gait; the added seduction is caused by the 'Khaluk'

sound emitted by the gems in the Paaduka, which is a stream flow, as

it were of nectar. The conduits for that nectar-flow are Your variety

of walk-features. All these aspects should always be in my heart to

regale me!

 

Namo Narayana,

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

 

SlOkam 472:

 

(1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Paadhukais of the Lord who dances

in Srirangam ! Your graceful movements captivate everyone's heart .

Your novel and varied steps make the gems inside You collide with one

another and create an indescribable sweet naadham . May the life-

giving nectar associated with that naadham enter my mind and cause

the ecstasy, which will inspire me to compose verses in praise of You

with distinction.

 

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh Ranga PaadhukE! As you move

around with your Lord on His many sanchArams , You raise many

patterns of sweet naadham . May I always remember these sweet

naadhams! They are like tubes transporting nectar to the listener.

 

(3) Oh Paadhukais of the Lord , who delights the residents of

Sriranga KshEthram (Ranga Kshithi RamaNa paadhAvani) ! As people

absorb Your naadham generated by Your Lord's sanchAram on Your back,

their minds are lost to those sweet naadhams associated with Simha

gathi (Lion's gait ), Sarpa gathi et al . Those

nectarine "khaLathgaarams steal the minds of all listening to those

melodies ( KhaLathgAra VyAja amrutha tArA: nikhila jana: chEthAmsi

krINantha: ). May those sanchaara–janitha flow of amrutham repeatedly

enter my mind to inspire me ( amrutha dhArA thE vihArA: mama antha:

muhu: VigAhanthAm ..(V.S).
