AkrruShya dhUrAnmaNirashmijAlaIrananyalakshyANi vilOchanAni

 

Oh Paaduka! By Your overflowing mercy, You draw the eyes of the

lookers-on, casting Your nets of arrays of rays emitted by the gems

on You, that too from quite a distance, thereby the people are made

unable to look at anything else except You!

 

Namo Narayana,

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

 

Slokam 492:

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Ranganatha PaadhukE ! with

compassion, You seem to use the net made up of the assembly of

lustrous rays from the gems on You to draw the eyes of people at a

great distances and effortlessly make their eyes

look at the Lord's feet and nothing else.

 

2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Swamy NammAzhwAr has taken enormous

effort to make it easy for chethanams to think about the Lord. The

inner meaning here is that the person who is blessed to comprehend

the true meanings of ThiruvAimozhi Paasurams through AchArya

anugraham and upadEsam will always meditate on PerumAl and Swamy

NammAzhwAr.

 

3) The gems on the Paadhukais create an assembly of bright rays

(MaNi Rasmi jaalam ) that looks like a rope that pulls the eyes of

the on-lookers ( Janasya vilOchanAni aakrushya ) effortlessly from a

great distance (ayathnAth dhUrAth aakrushya ). Out of DayA , the

PaadhukAs makes this happen and further makes those eyes rivetted to

the Lord's dhivya mangaLa vigraham ( ayathnAth dhUrAth aakrushya ,

janasya vilOchanAni ananyalakshyANi janayasi).. (V.S).
