Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! The many rows of new

pearls decorating You on all Your four sides shine like rows of the

images of Moons created by the ten Moons of Your Lord's toe nails.

 

2) Oh PaadhukE! the rows of new pearls on You appear like the images

(prathibhimbhams) of the naka chandran's associated with the Lord's

holy feet. Just as the toe nails do not part with the Lord's feet ,

the Paasurams of Swamy NammAzhwAr do not ever leave the Lord's sacred

feet.

 

3) Oh golden PaadhukE ! on all Your four sides are fresh rows of

pearls ( kaanchana paadhukE! ThvAm abhitha: nihithA nava

MoukthikAvali: ). Those rows of pearls remind one of the images of

the prathimA chandrans . The toe nails of Your Lord

are the chandrans that are reflected as the pearls on You (MurArE:

bhAthi)…(V.S).
