Oh Manipaaduka! Those few, whomsoever, who humbly hold on their

heads, may be just for a moment, You, as a veritable ornament, they

are previleged to acquire a crystal-clear purity even in this birth,

like the pearls You have.

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

 

SlOkam 645

 

1) UthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh RangarAjA's PaadhukE!

Those lucky ones , who prostrate before You and recieve You

on their heads even for a second as an ornament attain

a status that is equal in holiness to that of Your pearls.

They experience this blessing right here on this earth

during their mortal days.

 

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

those who seek the holy feet of Swamy NammazhwAr with

true devotion (like Madhura Kavi ) would be freed from

all sins and attain a high status , which would assure them

inseparable union with AzhwAr and PerumAL.When one prostrates

before a SadAchAryan like Swamy NammAzhwAr , one acquires

a desire to be with them always for attaing sadhgathi.

 

3)RanganrupathE: MaNipAdharakshE! Selected PuNyasAlis

( yE nAma kEapi kruthina:)bow before You with bent heads

and place You on their heads with reverence even for

a second ( Kruthina:Vinaya anamrai: utthamAngai: Bhavatheem

kshaNam utthamsayanthi) and become fit to be associated

always with the tatthvam behind the pearls adorning You

( kruthina: thE iha Thvath moukthika Oga niyathAm

visuddhim icchanthi)...(V.S).
