Oh Paaduka! I pay my tribute to You for exuding honey-like nectar of

the cool-white pearls on You, that relieves the creatures of this

world, of their sufferings, which particular trait of Yours made it

possible for Krishna to dance on the hood of Kaliya serpent as if it

were a dance-stage for Him!

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

 

SlOkam 649

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! Your pearls banish

all afflictions and shower nectar on devotees , who bow before them .

It is because of these qualities of Your pearls that Krishna

danced on the heads of the serpent KaaLiyan and was protected

from the ill effects of the deadly poison of that cruel snake.

 

2)SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is: even those,

who have accumulated limitless sins over many births and are

destined to suffer in narakam are blessed by MahAns to come

in to contact with AzhwAr's paasurams and end up wiping

away their huge load of sins through an understanding of

the deep meanings of those paasurams and qualify themselves

for enjoying Moksha Sukham. The Lord becomes closer to them .

 

3) Oh PaadhukE! adiyEn salutes You and Your pearls ,which

banishes all the taapams of janthus through the showering of

the nectar like sukham ( Svai: moukthikai: prANinAm mukulitha

parithApaam amrutha duhAniva manyE). With that power of

releasing life protecting nectar , You made the hoods of

the poison-bearing KaLiyan , a fit stage for Your Lord's

dance ( Yath prabhAvEna vishadhara phaNapankthi: MurArE:

lalitha naDana yOgyam rangam aaseeth)...(V.S).
