Oh Manipaaduka! When the Supreme Person embarks on a free sportive

walk, You bear the Lord's Lotus Feet and produce a sound which looks

like the chanting of a mantra to drive the enemy armies.

 

Namo Narayana,

Special Notes by V. SatakOpan (V.S): Slokam 418

 

1) Utthamur Swamy `s anubhavam: Oh PadhukE! You join with the playful

gait Of the Lord engaged in destroying the enemies of DevAs and

generate sounds from the movements with Him .At that time , the

naadham originating from You resemble rare incantations that chase

away the enemies of the Lord.

 

2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! The naadham that You

generate during the Lord's campaign (yaathrAs) against His enemies

seem to suggest that You are reciting manthrams to chase away Lord's

adversaries. The inner meaning is that Swamy NammAzhwAr enjoys the

glories of the Lord's Thiruvadis in ThiruvAimozhi and blessed us with

the manthrams housed there. Those manthrams chase away the kaamam ,

KrOdham, maathsaryam et al and get us close to the Thiruvadi of the

Lord.

 

3) Oh PaadhukE! You have attained the Thiriuvadi of Your Lord , who

has His own unfetterd sanchAram with You ( Pumsa: svacchandha vibrama

gathou PaadhAravindham abhigamithavAn). The joy arising from Your

bhAgyam results in the generation of a delectable naadham from You

(PaadhAravindham abhigamya jaatha svanA ). That exhuberant and sweet

naadham has the effect of a manthram that is repeated with every step

of the Lord to chase away the army of the enemies of the Lord …V.S
