Oh Paaduka! Those who have once been subjected to the nooses of gem-

rays from You even once, have never thereafter the likelihood of

suffering the cruel whippings in the prison corners of Yama's

kingdom.

 

Namo Narayana,

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

 

Slokma 493:

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh RanganAtha PaadhukE! The rays

emanating from the gems adorning You are like the strands of rope

constituting a whip. Those strands of rope of the whip do not

however hurt any one on contact. When they fall on a human being ,

they free the fortunate human being from the harsh whip lashes of

the servants of Yama Dharman in the prisons of the nether world.

 

2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that any one who

comprehends the deep meanings of ThriuvAimozhi Paasurams even once

would end up observing Bhakthi Yogam or Prapathti Yogam , which

results the bhAgyam of residence in Parama Padham to enjoy ParipoorNa

BrahmAnandham . They never end up in narakam .

 

3) Oh PaadhukE ! Those who have been fortunate to be touched by

Your assembly (rope) of rays emanating from the gems on You

even once (TaavakInai: maNi rasmi paasai: kadhAchith sprushtA)

would never be incarcerated in the terrifying prisons of Narakam

and receive their the punishment of whip lashes ( thAvakeenai: maNi

rasmi paasai: kadhAchith sprushtA: janA : , bhUya: ghOram Kaalasya

kaarAgruha anthEshu kasa abhidhAtham na bhajanthi)..(V.S).
