We praise the Paadukas which have acquired a strong fragrance from the

Konrai blossoms derived from the head marked by knotty locks of hair,

of

Siva (the conqueror of Tripura), who is bent-headed at the Lord's feet

with deep devotion. Vidwans, whose great wealth is their self-control,

give the considered verdict that the status of ever-bearing the

Paadukas on one's head is the reward and fruit of one's total surrender

performed at the lotus feet of Ranganatha.
