Oh Paaduka! Your greatness can be gauged only by the Vedas. The Sama-

Veda singers are going to sing Your praise. When that is being done,

You perhaps wish to supplement it by the sounds from Your gemstones

rendering tana musical item to suit the Sama-swara.

 

Namo Narayana,

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

 

SlOkam 422:

 

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

vEdham recite Your glories elaborated by all of the other VedhAs. At

that time , the melodious naadham arising from the movement of the

gems adorning You appear like UpagAnam ( accompanying music from the

Lord's entourage) to the Saama Vedhic music.

 

2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! The sacred naadhams

arising during the occasion of Your Lord's travel with You appear

like teaching lessons on Saama Vedham for the Vedic scholars . The

inner meaning is that Swamy NammAzhwAr created ThiruvAimozhi for the

benefit of those devotees of the Lord , who wished to sing His

glories.

 

3) Swamy Desikan states that the blemishless glories of the

Paadhukais are fully understood by the VedhAs( aamAnya vEdhyam

abhanguram thE prabhAvam). Those glories seem to be recited as

santhai by the Vedhams for the benefit of the udhghAthAs of Saama

vedham to learn and recite in turn . Santhai or repetitive recital

of Vedham or ThiruvAimozhi after a teacher is " aamrEditha Sruthi " .

The assembly of such naadhams is ` amrEditha sruthi gaNai: maNi

Ninadhanam " . That becomes the GhAnam for SaamagAs (Saama Vedhins).
