Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:

Oh Paaduka! You cling to the Lord's Feet. You will be transported to

the head of any one, whose sin-some rare sin, not expelled by other

means-is sought to be driven away in this manner. Your splendour then

would be that of a Mukta (a pearl) placed on the head of Indra's

elephant, which would cast a spell of dalliance to serve as a face-

veil, in the ornamental way, to the elephant.

 

Namo Narayana,

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)

 

SlOkam 655

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE of Krishna removing

the sins of His devotees through Your contact ! You are placed by the

thousand-eyed Indra on the head of his white elephant and You become

the pearl-embedded decorative piece of head cloth there. Your pearls

enhance the beauty of the face of Indra's elephant.

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! You are adorning

Your Lord's Thiruvadi. The bhakthAs of Your Lord adorn You

on their heads to destroy their sins. Indhran places You

on the head of his elephant , IrAvadham and travels .The white

jyOthi emanating from Your pearl assembly serves as

a Mutthangi for the elephant and illumines both Indhran

and his elephant.

 

3)Oh PaadhukE! You are associated with the lotus feet

of Your Lord ( Thvam SourE: charaNa kamalam prApthA).

BhakthAs have requested You to be placed on their heads

to remove even the worst of sins ( Kimapi vrujinam

prathyAdhEshtum bhakthi bhAjAm mouLi bhAgam prApithA).

You are placed by Indran on the head of his royal

elephant ( Thvam dasa-satha-dhrusA dEvEna danthirAjasya

moordhni nyasthA). There , the radiance from Your pearls

takes the form of the radiant mutthangi for the head

portion of the elephant , IrAvadham ( Thvam moukthikAnAm

prabhAbhi: danthirAjasya mukhapaDa ruchim dathsE)...(V.S)
