Oh Mother! The ornaments that Lord wears in all other limbs are

disposable and exchangeable, whereas You are the only one to adorn

the Lotus Feet and You cannot be exchanged for another. You are

permanent. And it is so pleasing to the eyes!

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

 

SlOkam 792:

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukA Mother! The other

decorative objects adorning the different limbs of the Lord would be

either too small or large depending on the size of His limbs.

Although the rest of the jewelery of the Lord can not change their

shape or size , You are able to change according to changing

occasion and fit Your Lord's feet exactly . You are a delight to see

on the Lord's Thiruvadi on every occasion.

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! PerumAL adorns jewelery on

many of His limbs. Each of them can be replaced with another. When it

comes to You, no one can replace You as a protector ofthe Lord's

sacred feet. No one can execute the duties that You perform.

 

3)All the jewelery adorning the limbs other than the Thiruvadi can be

interchanged ( angAntharEshu nihithAni akhilAni vibhUshaNAni

kaamam paryAkalpanasahAni bhavathi). InYour case however,

no entity can replace You in being exactly fit for the Lord's lotus

feet and having the unmatched quality of beauty as a jewelery

for them ( Mukundha Padha Padhma Tala anuroopam , nayanAbhirAmam

nithyam naipaTyam)..(V.S).
