As beautiful as crores of rising suns and moons, by a yellow silk is He

adorned

 

Bejeweled with different ornaments, beautfiul and dark like a cloud is

His luminous and majestic face;

 

Wealthed with a sea of grace and elegance, the One without salt, with

Lakshmi, chakram and conch;

 

Lord of Sri Vaikuntapuram*, of exquisite form, consort of Bhoomi Devi; I

take refuge in Thee.

Owing to the fruits of Markandeyar's great penance, In Sri

Vyomapuram* long past;

Bhoomi Devi incarnated, wed the Lord of that city and she too forsook

the taste of salt;

With eyes like the blooming lotus, to the faithful she gifts deliverance

from fear,

 

She who is thus, may she increase all that is auspicious, she who

tolerates all.

Dear all,

The dhyanashloakms have been translated in the form of two small stanzas

by our son Subhangan.

The notes on Azhvar pasurams written by Vangipurm ShriRamadesikan will follow.

I again remind everyone that all the pasurams have been translated by

Shr Madhavakkannan and are available at the Thiruvinnagaram website,
