Oh Paaduka! You are three-in-one, having in yourself the sun, the

fire, and the moon, the three natural sources of light. You emit

multicoloured spectrum of light; You purify people and You are made

of gold, the three features implying the three light sources,

respectively.

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

 

Slokam 862

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Swamy Desikan describes the paadhukAs

as the integrated effulgence of the three jyOthis (Surya, Agni and

Chandra) . He says: "Oh PaadhukE ! Through the assembly of Your

colorful gems, You are recognized as Chithrabhaanu or the

multicolored Surya. Through Your glory and purity, You are recognized

as the purifying Agni. Through Your golden form, You also become

Chandra. You thus become the integrated essence of the above three

effulgences and remove all darkness in this universe".

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: With Your multi-colored rays ,You

seem to have taken the combined form of Sooryan, Agni and Chandran to

remove our ajn~Anam .

 

3) Oh Lord's PaadhukE ! ( Souri charaNAvani) ! You through the union

of many colored rays from Your gems become Sooryan ( Thvam rathna

visEsha yOgAth chithrabhAnu: asi). Through Your glories , You seem to

have attained the status of the sanctifying Agni(Thvam nijEna BhUmnA

pAvakathvam paripushyasi). Through Your intrinsic qualities, You

appear like Chandran ( Svainaiva ChandraroopA asi). In You all the

three (Sun, Agni and Chandran) seem to have merged in one place to

remove our nescience(miLithA tEjasrayeeva na: tama: apahA )..
