Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:

 

 

651. BhuvanamidhamashESham biBhrathO rangaBharthu:

padhakamalamidham thE pAdhukE! DhArayanthyA:

Oh Paaduka! The sweat drops formed on You by reason of wearing and

walking with the Lotus Feet of the one Lord-Rangabharta-the Bearer,

the great-who bears the burden of all three worlds, perhaps acquire

the great charm of pearls, I wonder!

 

Namo Narayana,

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

 

SlOkam 651

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! You have carried

Your Lord for a long time on Your back. The tiredness from that

marathon effort seems to show up as Your sweat drops (pearls).

It is no surprise that Your effort in carrying the holy feet of

the Supreme Lord , who bears all the universes produces some

fatigue that leads to the formation of those beautiful

pearls (sweat drops) on Your person.

 

2)Swamy Desikan points out first that the Lord is carrying

all the universe on Him ( Idham buvanam asesham Bhibratha:).

The Paadhukai bears on its back the lotus feet of that Lord

(tasya Padha Kamalam dhaarayanthyA: thE). Oh PaadhukE! You

have travelled quite some distance carrying your Lord

and are fatigued and generate the sweat drops that are

in the form of pearls on You( thE moukthikAni chira viharaNa

khEdAth sambruthAnAm srama jala kaNikAnAm sampadham bhajanthi).

Sramajalam (sweat drops) are like clusters of pearls. Those

pearls arise from the effort of carrying the mighty , weighty

Lord by the Paadhukais ....(V.S)
