Vadirajaru continues to describes Sri Mahalakshmi as she presents

herself before her Lord. She puts the

akshatte made of pearl dust on her forehead and then she wears the

beautiful crown made of 9 jewels. The navaratnas are the nine jewels

of worship she offers constantly to the Lord.

shravanam,

Kirtanam, Smaranam, Vishnu PAda SEvanam, Archanam, Vandanam, DAsyam,

Sakhyam & Atma Niveadanam . Vadirajaru describes the crown as

that made of nine different precious stones. The crown/head of Mahalakshmi

is constantly bowing to the lotus feet of the Lord. It shows the

magnificience of SriMahalakshmi's devotion as well as the greatness

of the Lord as the Supreme personality. Also it shows that those who

also wear such a crown with nine jewels of worship will find a place

near the Lord's feet.

 

Also

since Sri Mahalakshmi is the most ardent devotee of the Lord, and she

always engages herself in His seva, all those who worship her as

such, will be rewarded with her grace which will protect and save one

from the clutches of samsaara.

hair tied as knot at the top or braid

The

beautiful gold hued flower called mandara with its sweet smell, the

jasmine flowers and many more beautiful and fragrant flowers are there in

bunches and bunches . Sri Mahalakshmi's beautiful braid was

decorated with these fragrant flowers. The top knot on her hair was

also decked with jasmine and mandara flowers. Here Dasaru wants to

highlight the beauty of Sri Mahalakshmi's hair. There in he also says

that against the back drop of the braided hair bedecked with fragrant

flowers and the jewelled crown on her head her face was golden hued

and very tender and delicate. Such a personality of Sri Mahalakshmi

shows her tenderness towards her devotees and hence Sri Vadirajru

says,"Let such a Mahalakshmi shower her compassion on the wedded

couple and protect them."

Sri

Vadirajru also refers to the golden aura about Sri Mahalakshmi's face

which is the sign of her extreme devotion and spiritual height.

 

The

wedded couple in general refers to all couples who

have faith and devotion in the Lord and His consort Srimahalakshmi.
