prAyENa thE pariNamanthi sahasranEthrA:

 

Oh Paaduka! Your lovely situation in union with the Lotus Feet is

enjoyed by devotion-marked hearts. They even long for a thousand

eyes, not being contented with the vision through one's two eyes.

Then they get elevated births like Indra, etc., in course of time.

 

Namo Narayana,

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

 

SlOkam 793

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: In the previous verse , Swamy Desikan

described the PaadhukAs as "nayanAbhirAmam" or a delight to the eyes.

Here, he states that one needs thousand eyes to fully feast on the

beauty of the PaadhukAs adorning the Lord's Thiruvadi. He says: " Oh

Paadhukais of the lotus-eyed Lord ! Those devotees of Yours , who

fondly enjoy Your beauty thirst yet for more . With the passage of

time , their devotion ripens and they become born as thousand eyed

IndrAs to take in Your beauty fully.

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! Those who never get

satiated from Your sevai gain every thing that they desire from the

seat of BrahmA to Moksham. There is no purushArTam that they can not

get.

 

3) Oh Paadhukais of the Lotus-eyed Lord (KamalEkshaNa PaadharakshE) !

Any one with Bhakthi-laden eyes worship Your form (yE naama bhakthi-

niyathai: nEthra yugaLai: Tava sannivEsam nirvisathi) without satiety

( thrupthim na bahjanthi), they transfrom over time in to owners of

lofty status as Indhraas( tE kaalakramENa prAyENa sahasra nEthrA;

pariNamanthi)...(V.S).
