praThamAnaIrmaNipAdhukE! mayUKhai:

aDharIkuruShE raThAngapANE:

amithAmUrDhvamavasThithasya kAnthim

 

Oh Manipaaduka! The brilliance of the blue gems on You, is very good

and widespread also, so much that it defeats the very good that

stands on You, who is known to be of infinite brilliance!

 

Namo Narayana,

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

 

SlOkam 684:

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: " Oh MaNi PaadhukE! You surpass

even the unlimited bluish-black complexion of Your Lord standing

above You through the spreading rays of Your sapphire. " Swamy

Desikan states here that the blue lustre of the sapphires

of the Paadhukais make Lord's bluish-black lustre some what

inferior in quality.

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:The hue of the Lord and

the sapphires are both of dark bluish hue.Both have

brilliant lustres. The lustre of PerumAl is however

slightly less than that emanating from the Indhraneela

gems.Swamy Desikan hints that AzhwAr's paasurams are

slightly superior to the Lord Himself.

 

3)Oh MaNi PaadhukE! With Your sapphire's blemishless

lustre spreading everywhere ( Thvam anagai: praTamAnai:

Harineela paddhathInAm mayUkai:), You seem to mock at

the brilliant and limitless bluish hue of Your Lord

standing on top of You ( Urdhvam avasTitasya RaTAngapANE:

amithAm kaanthim adharIkurushE)..(V.S).
