Oh Gold Paaduka! Your gold effulgence transforms the Lord from the

nail-tip through the whole body as one of pure gold. And after all,

You convert, as well, the moon digit of the (distant) kneeling Siva

into a bunch of yellow konrai flowers!

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

 

SlOkam 737

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Golden PaadhukE!

Upanishads declare that Your Lord is of golden hue

from head to toe . That came about because of Your

influence. With Your extraordinary powers , You

made Your golden sheen spread all over Your Lord;

with that same power, You convert the color of

KonRai flowers on ChandrasEkara " s head to a golden

color that is matchless.

 

(2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! PerumAL

has a hue like the dense and dark clouds rainy season.

Inspite of His dark color, once Your golden lustre

falls on Him , His entire body takes on a golden sheen.

Lord Sivan offers His prostrations to You from a long

distance. At that time, Your golden kaanthi falls on

His bent head and the Crescent Moon there. As a result ,

the Moon takes on a golden sheen and resembles an unusual

golden KonRai flower bunch.

 

(3)Oh Golden PaadhukE! You become fit to transform

Your dark-hued Lord in to a golden sheened one from

head to toe ( Thvam KaanthyA param Purusham aapraNakhAth

suvarNam karthum kshamA asi). Lord Sivan is saluting YOu

from a distance( DhUrAth vinathasya IndhumouLi:).Your

golden rays fall on the crescent Chandran on the head of

Lord Sivan and create the beauty of another kind of

golden KonRai flowers ( IndhumouLE: anyAdhruseem

AaragvadhastaBaka sampadham disasi)..(V.S).
