Oh Paaduka! Divine flowers are brought everyday from Devaloka. When

they are presented to You, the wind from the wafting of chamaras blows

out the fragrance of flowers along with that of the Vedas together:

this dispels the devotees' samsara-heat!

Special Notes by V.SatakOpan (V.S): SlOkam 345

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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: In this verse,

Swamy Desikan describes how Vaayu also serves as

an AchAryan like the bees mentioned in a previous

slOkma. He says: " Oh PaadhukE! Every day , DevAs shower

divine flowers from the nandavanam of Indran on You.

At that time , the servants of the Lord perform chAmara

kaimkaryam to You.The wafts of air (Vaayu) generated during

the movement of the fans spread the fragrance of VedAs

mingled with the parimaLam of divine pushpams all around.

Vaayu serves this way and lets all the inhabitants of

the world know that Your Lord is the Supreme Being praised

with out let by the VedAs. People experiencing the fragrance

spread by Vaayu end up with the destruction of their

samsAric afflictions.

 

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The entire gamut of

the SamsAric afflictions are banished through the experience of

Swamy NammAzhwAr's darsanam , enjoyment of the fragrance of

the mahizhampoo garland adorning His neck and the listening of

His Sri Sookthis.

 

(3) Swamy Deesikan says that the samsAra tApams of the people

of the world are removed ( JanaanAm Samjvaram prasamayathi).

How does it happen and what is the causative factor?

Swamy points out that the nigama parimaLam (Vedic fragrance)

of satAri Soori mingling with the fragrance of the divine

flowers from Indran's nandhavanam are wafted across by

the waving fans of KaimkaryaparALs of RanganAthA and that

fragrance is responsible for the banishmnet of the fever of

SamsAric afflictions...(V.S)
