samanvayam with pASuram : This dAsa has become a sthANu – an immovable object on

seeing the soundaryam and love of His Lord. The great Lord who stands in the

one. Isn’t it? He has blessed this dAsA with the ever-lasting bliss of communion

with Him.

The One (with all these) resides in the heart of this dASa

 

 

 

Detailed Interpretation:

 

 

 

1) With large red eyes: Is there any comparison between the princess

SrIdEvi and a servant girl like me?. Then, wont I become a statue when my Lord

sees me with the same love?

 

 

 

2) With coral red lips and with shining pearly white teeth: I am

dumbfounded seeing the soundaryam of His coral red lips and His pearly white

teeth, when He speaks to me the same sweet words that He shares with SrIdEvi.

 

 

 

3) With dangling ear rings: While He speaks to me with love, His ear rings

dangle and glitter with lovely radiance. I can hear the music of His ear rings

and see their sparkle as He is very close to me. With so much joy, I have become

a rock.

 

 

 

4) With the hue of a dark rain cloud: He is pulling me towards Him. He is

like the dark rain cloud. When He comes near you, all the thirst is quenched.

All afflictions are washed away. In the shade of such an amazing cloud, I feel

like dancing – akin to a peacock which dances with its splendid plumage and a

spread out tail. But I am not able to move as He is holding me tight in His

embrace.

 

 

 

5) With a sparkling crown: The crown is beaming with a splashy look. Just

like me, it is also experiencing the touch of my Lord and has become immovable.

Unable to talk or move, it’s silently expressing its joy of oneness with the

Lord, through its sparkling radiance.

 

 

 

6) With four arms: He is hugging me with His four great arms. Is there any

possibility now, that I can escape His embrace?

 

 

 

7) With a nicely bent bow, conch, mace, sword and a discuss: When He was

approaching me, I was wonder struck seeing His great ornaments and divyAyudhams.

Then He gave me His loving embrace. In His extreme avidity to embrace me, He

forgot to remove His ornaments and weapons while hugging me. I am feeling as if

I am one with these immutable divine ornaments and weapons that decorate my

Lord. Just like my Lord, they are also immutable in their nature of blessing the

AsritAs with all the Shubham.

 

 

 

8) One: The One with all these; The One with endless love; The One with an

amazing soundaryam; The One with immeasurable opulence; The One with countless

divine qualities; And the One who always always gives the imperishable good.

 

 

 

He has everything that a young girl wants in abundance. When SrIdEvi became

Rukmini, She found the perfect match for Her only in Him. Similar is the case

with AnDAL. She accepted only Him as Her swAmi.

 

 

 

What to say about an unfit person like me? Still He accepted me with the same

love that He had for SrIdEvi. His love for me is making me a sthANuhu.

 

 

 

9) He is in this dAsa: Since He resides in the heart of this immovable

dAsa, He is also immovable, Isn’t it?

 

 

 

He has become a sthANuhu, as He is unable to bear any separation from me. He

will never leave me and has made me one with Him. He is forever with me and is

totally taking care of me. How fortunate I am? The greatest of all wealths, the

best among the best (Sivasya Sivaha) is here with me. And He is here to stay for

ever, as He is unchanging in His nature.
