Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:

 

489. vaGhnAsi rangEshvarapAdharakshE! manyE yaThArham maNirashmijAlAi:

Oh Paaduka! The Chiefs of the Devas bow to the Lord closely. The

radiance from the gems describes convolutions near the Deva's crowns

as if it were the Shesha-vastra honour (Parivattam in Tamil) to the

devoted ones.

 

Namo Narayana,

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

 

SlOkam 489:

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! the rays of the gems

adorning Your body surround the crowned heads of DevAs like the

embroidered silk towel(parivattam ) that is placed before

positioning You on the people's heads. The service of the rays as

parivattam on the heads of the devAs with bent heads to receive You

appear to assign them to carry out the various duties of Your Lord.

The rays of gems change into different shapes to fit the different

heads of the devAs during their service as parivattam.

 

2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! The luster from your

exterior gems spreads all around. The assembly of that lustre appears

like the parivattam that is placed on the heads of dEvAs prior to

placing You on their siras. The inner meaning is that Swamy

NammAzhwAr blessed us with His ThiruvAimozhi to help every one to

attain saayujyam and enjoy paripoorNa BrahmAnubhavam.

 

3) The dEvAs have bent their heads (sEvanathAnAm thrisadEsvarANAm)

to recive You on their utthamAngam (siras). At that time , the

assembly of rays (rasmi JaalaI : ) appear to me like the parivattam

that is tied on their bent heads ( thridasEsvarANAm sEkhara-

sannikrushtAm sEshApaDIm yaTArham bhadhnAsi manyE )..V.S.
