Oh Paaduka! Your ablution-water as it was, fell on the earth

and purified it of all the filth (and sin) that had earlier

befallen on it by reason of the jolt that Kaikeyi's demands

had caused.

 

Namo Narayana,

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

************************************

 

(1)Sri UtthamUr Sawmy's anubhavam: Oh MaNi PaadhukE !

The holy waters have the quality of purifying the objects

on which they fall . The holy water poured on You during

Your coronation bath even became more holy , when they fell

on this earth .They removed all the blemishes , which

persisted as muddy ponds originating from KaikEyi's intrigue.

Those muddy ponds became crystal clear due to association with

the sacred waters of Your coronation bath.That purifying

act was like the removal of patina on a uncleaned metal vessel

and restored it to its original radiant state. If BharathA had

the coronation bath instead of You, those blemishes would

have persisted .Thus , You helped BharathA in addition to

Mother Earth.

 

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE !

Just as the sorrows of the world resulting

from KaikEyi's intrigues were banished through

union wih Your holy coronation waters, the incarnation of

the SadAchAryAs in the world banishes the

sorrows of their sishyAs.

 

(3) KakEyi Kalaham generated mahA pApams . Those

sins were like muddy waters and caused sorrow to

the citizens of AyOdhyA. Your coronation waters

(abhishEka thOyai:) removed that muddiness and

sorrow and blessed the citizens with a clear ,

worry-free mind and restored happiness to them

in one second ( parAm Suddhim KshaNAth adhijagAma)..V.S
