Oh Manipaaduka! You are placed on the heads of the chiefs of Devas.

They indeed long for being given extension in their posts. That is

granted by the Lord's nail-lustre and Your pearl-lustre shedding

effulgence-rays, which are the veritable holy waters to annoint them

virtually!

 

Namo Narayana,

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

 

SlOkam 639

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Mani PaadhukE! You remove

the sins of Brahma , Rudra , Indra and other DevAs , when You

rest on thier heads . The combination of the white lustre from

Your pearls and the lustre of Your Lord's toe nails becomes

the sacred waters that bathe Brahma and others and let them

attain all auspiciousness.

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning of this slOkam is

that one who worships AzhwArs and AchAryALs with great devotion ,

that person will comprehend the true meaning of those Paasurams

and will be rid of all sins and attain the status of Nithya Sooris.

 

3) You are placed on the heads of the DevAs and their king

( Thvam Thridasa IsvaraaNAm chUDApadhEshu nihithA). The union

of the lustre emanating from Your pearls with those of

the divine lustre originating from Your Lord's toe nails

and functions like the holy waters ( Murabhda: nakha rasmibhinnai:

mukthA theerTa udhakai: ). Those holy waters in confluence

wash away even the thick sins clinging to the samsAris

( udhgADa pankasamanai: snapayasi). That sacred bath also

elevates the blessed samsAris to the status of Nithyasooris

( TheerTa udhakai: udakai: padhArTina: thAnn snapayasIva).
