Oh Paaduka! On the day, I believe, the floods of Your Abhisheka water

drove the heart-burning, that the Kosala people had been till then

tormented with, away to the hearts of Lanka womenfolk, and

permanently to stay there too.

 

Namo Narayana,

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (VS):

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

 

1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE !

The holy waters used for Your coronation rose with

energy in the form of steam and entered the hearts of

the women of the harem of RavaNA .Those waters (Taapam)

left north Kosalaa and entered the hearts of the women

of RaavaNA's harem in the form of acute fear and anxiety .

 

2)Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! They performed

pattAbhishEkam for you with cool waters. When those waters fell

on You, the pent-up taapams rose up from Kosala dEsam ,

reached LankA and settled down for long term residence

in the hearts of the harem ladies .The inner meaning is that

AzhwAr's avathAram chased away the Kaamam , KrOdham et al

and they had to go find another place to reside.

 

3) Until the PaadhukA pattAbhishEkam , there was a lot

of sorrow( taapam ) in Kosala dEsam . Once the sacred

waters fell on the Paadhukais , then those taapams

left Kosala dEsam and found a new home in LankA

( the hearts of the queens of RaavaNA ). Swamy uses

the word , " uthsAritha: " to indicate that the taapams

were chased away . What did those taapams do next?

They found a home for long term residence in the hearts

of the antha: pura sthrees ( avarOdha suddhrasAm

hrudhayEshu chirAya vaasam lEbhE )...V.S
