Oh Paaduka of the Lord! The close packing of the emerald and ruby in

You is only for conferring a great honour, of being cited as the

model on the Ardhanareeshwara form of Parvati (green) and Siva (red)!

 

Namo Narayana,

 

SriMuralidhara Dasan

 

 

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

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! The radiations from

Your emerald and rubies unite to give a dark green and red glow ,

which reminds me of ArdhanArIswara svarUpam, where the greenish-black

color of Parvathi is united with the reddish hue of Rudran in one

body in equal proportions.

 

2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that toughness

(to correct sishyAs , when they stray ) and DayA ( for the suffering

sishyans) are united in an AchAryan . It is like the blending of the

hue of the padhmarAgham gems with the emerald gems mingling together

on the surface of the Paadhukai.

 

3) The emerlad ( HarinmaNi ) and the ruby stones (PadhmarAgam ) on

the Paadhukai are beautiful by complimenting each other ( anyOnya

Bhandhura HarinmaNi PadhmarAga: ). That mingling of colors remind me

of the Ardha-nareeswara svaroopam of Lord Sivan , where half the body

has the hue of His consort , Parvathi of dark green color and the

other half of the body is that of Rudran with the red, fire-like

color…(V.S).
