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

 

SlOkam 719

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! After the departure of

the DEvAs , BrahmA tarries a little before taking leave of

RanganAtha. At that time of proximity to the Lord , BrahmA's body is

reflected in many of Your gems.When BrahmA sees his many images on

You , he thinks of the many future BrahmAs that will come

after his reign. He thinks that You have all of those BrahmAs

held inside You.

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Chathurmukha BrahmA completes

the officiation at the Lord's Uthsavam and is about to return to

his abode of Sathya LOkam . At that time , he sees the many

reflected images of himself on the mirror like surfaces of

the Paadhukai ;those images make him wonder whether all of

them are the images of future BrahmAs waiting to be appointed

for Srushti kaimkaryam in other kalpams after his term is over.

 

3)Oh PaadhukE!BrahmA ( vEdhA:)has completed the BrahmOthsavam

at SrIrangam and he is about to return home. During that

time of impending travel , he sees himself reflected

on the many gems adorning Your surface ( PrayANa SamayE vEdha:

ucchAvachEshu Tava rathna gaNEshu prathiBhimBhitha anga:).

That sight makes him wonder whether those images are those of

future BrahmAs ,who are housed inside You ( ThvAm aagAmi-kalpa

KamalAsana pankthi garbhAm aasankathE)...(V.S).
