Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)

 

slOkam 640

 

1) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh Mani PaadhukE! When the limbs

of the human beings of the world are daubed with the unguent

formed by the admixture of Your pearl's cool lustre with that of

the nectar-like sweetness of Your Lord's toe nails , the samsaric

fevers of the people are banished once and for all. This extraordinary

unguent becomes a sure cure for the fever caused by worldly

afflictions.

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The siddha PurushAs prepare

powerful medicines and soak them in honey and give them to

people suffering from various diseases.The patients are cured

of their fevers and other sufferings. Similarly , the pearls

on the Paadhukais soaked in the divine nectarine lustre of

the toe nails of the Lord destroy the people's powerful

fever of samsAram .

 

3) Oh MaNi PaadhukE! Your pearls are like the medicine prepared

by siddha PurushAs ( ThAvakInA: MukthA: siddhaguLikA iva).

They have been soaked in the nectarine lustre of the toe nails

of Lord RanganAthan ( RangEsa paadha nakha chandra sudhA

anulEpam samprApya). Those empowered pearls cures the samsAric

fever of the people on whom its lustre falls (SamsAra samjvarajushAm

sanjeevanAya prabhavanthi)..(V.S)
