Oh Paaduka Devi! You are permanently attached to the Lord's Feet. I

would declare You of infinite splendour, as the Supreme Pedestal, a

gem-set pavilion, delineated as Pure Knowledge, in the Upanishads.

 

Even as Muktas (pearls) on attaining a seat in You are capable of

enlightening the whole world by their effulgence, Muktas (liberated

souls) become free from fear, and are in a position to serve as

wisdom-lights, spreading purity and sanctity.

 

Namo Narayana,

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

 

SlOkam 654

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Queen PaadhukE! You are forever

blemish free. You are forever attached to the Lord's feet and

His glories . adiyEn recognizes You as the gem-bedecked pavilion

celebrated in the Upanishads. The pearls adorning You spread their

brilliant and purifying lustre all around and permit those

approaching You to reach a state of purity and freedom from

blemish of any kind.

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: When adiyEn looks at You ,

adiyEn is reminded of the sabhA filled with eternally liberatd

jeevans at SrI Vaikuntam. The Jeevans through the practise

of Bhakthi or Prapatthi yOgam arrive at this supreme

abode of the Lord . All of their sins are destroyed and they

become blemish free. They enjoy the bliss of SrI Vaikuntam.

The pearls on You are radiant and are free of any blemishes.

Their jyOthi spreads all over the world.AzhwAr's paasurams

are like that.They generate joy in the hearts of those , who

recite and comprehend their deep meanings.

 

3)Oh PaadhukE ! Your pearls being free from any defects

spread their supreme lustre all over the world like

a radiant lamp ( Tava MukthA: yadhupasanAth thrasahInA:

svai: aalOkai: akhilam bhuvanam dhIpavath vyApyathi).

The world lit by these pearls reaches sanctity ( Bhuvana:

suddhim Bhibrathi). adiyEn recognizes You as the permanent

abode(sabhA) of the Lord free from any RajO or TamO guNams

( ThvAm nithyam suddhE VishNO: padhE ThAm aasTAneem tarkayAmi).

There , the liberated souls enjoy the limitless wealth of

nithya kaimkaryam ( VishNo: padhE amitha vibhavAm thAm

aasTAneem tarkayAmi)..(V.S).
