Oh Manipaaduka! When the deceitful Vamana extended His foot into the

sky, the pearls in the Paduka there, momentarily as the beautiful

bubbles, arose in the flow of the celestial Ganga, appeared like

stars, thus doubling the number of stars-(all for a moment; soon the

foot pierced and went to Brahmaloka).

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

 

SlOkam 629

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! Your Lord is like

a magician , who took the form of Thrivikrama and measured

the universes with His feet. His left foot stretched and

measured the sky. River Ganga flowed from that foot and

the rapidly moving foot created many bubbles in the stream

of Ganga due to its amazing velocity . The water bubbles seen

at that time occupied the sky and became the pearls

adorning You .They joined the stars that existed before

their birth and multipled the count of the stars in the sky.

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:When the Lord took

ThrivikramAvathAram,

there were multitudes of stars in the sky that was pierced

by His fast rising Thiruvadi.Oh PaadhukE! The pearls on You

looked like brilliant stars themselves at that time. The swift

moving bubbles form the GangA pravAham at that time were also like

the stars. Thus during the short time of travel of the Lord's

feet, the sky had three fold number of stars(Natural stars,

Pearls looking like stars and the bubbles of Ganga river

appearing like another set of stars).

 

3)Lord is like a MaayAvi. From His dwarfish stature , He grow

in to His gigantic Thrivikrama form .The sky that was being

measured by the Lord's Thiruvadi ( BhagavathA vikramyamANam

anthariksham ) got admixed with the pearl like , auspiciousness

granting bubbles arising from the swift flowing Ganga pravAham

in a very short time ( kshaNam vyOmApagA vipula bhudhbhudha

darsaneeyai:)that looked like another kind of stars . To those

two kinds of stars were added your auspicious assembly of

pearls (Tava subhai: mukthAphalai: punuruktha thArAm

abhavath)..(V.S).
