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

 

689. jIvayathyamruthavarShiNI prajAsthAvakI dhanujaripAdhukE!

GhOrasamsaraNaGharmanAshinI kALikEva harinIlapaDdhathi:

 

Oh Paaduka! The dazzling array of rays from blue gems on You is like

the row of clouds. Even as the cloud relieves us of the heat of the

summer, this blue radiance showers the nectar of Moksha, relieving us

of the summer of Samsara.

 

Namo Narayana,

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

 

SlOkam 689

 

1) UtthamUr Sawmy's anubhavam: The gift one recieves after

gaining Moksham is the obtainment of nectar. Swamy Desikan

says that the rows of sapphires like rain-laden clouds shower

nectar on thepeople blessed by them. He says: " Oh Paadhukais

of the enemy of asurAs! Your rows of blue sapphires appear

like rows of the dark blue clouds of the riany season that

send down the life-perpetuating nectar to banish all

the samsAric afflictions of the people blessed by You " .

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! Just as

the dark bluish rainy clouds pour out water , remove

the distress from the hot summer and ripen the grains in

the fields , similarly Your Sapphires pour the rain

of Moksham and remove the SamsAric distress .

 

3) Oh PaadhukE! The welocme rains serve as nectar

and chases away the horrors of summer heat ( amrutha-

varshiNi ghOra samsarana garma nAsini). Similarly ,

Your bluish lustre from the rows of Your Indhraneela stones

( Taavaki Harineela Paddha ) rejuvenates the suffering

jeevans ( KaalikEva prajA: jeevayathi)...(V.S)
