Oh Mother Paaduka! The Lord is on a light walk. He being an ocean of

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

 

SlOkam 692

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Swamy Desikan states here

that the many sapphires on the Paadhukais of the Lord are like

the droplets ,which have originated as the sprays from the bluish

ocean of Lord's beauty. He says: " Oh Golden PaadhukE! You

are close to the novel and mysterious shores of Lord's

beauty during Your sanchArams with Him. With the blessings

of MahA Lakshmi on these shores , You become sprayed by

the droplets from the waves emanting from the ocean of

beauty of the Lord. Thus , Your sapphires derive their dark

blue color .

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! when one looks at

the sapphires enmeshed on You , it reminds one of MahA Lakshmi's

glances. It also reminds one of the droplets from the soundharyam

of Your bluish-hued Lord.

 

3)Oh Kaanchana PaadhukE! You are like the delightful

glances of MahA Lakshmi on the banks of the Ocean as

You travel there with Your Lord sportively ( Thvam

saleelam vihAra vElAm adhigamya LakshmI kaDAksha

lAvaNyam samudhvahasi). You shine then like the droplets of

the waves of Soundharyam of Lord RanganAthan ( Thvam

ruchirai: harineela-rathnai: RangadhAmna: lAvaNya sindhu

prushathai: iva kaanthim samudhvahasi)..(V.S)
