Oh Paaduka! The Chiefs of the Devas come and stand in obeisance to

You. The gems in their crowns look like rows of paddy fields. The

green effulgence from Your emeralds fall on them resulting in an

imagery of green parrots sitting on the paddy stalks.

 

Namo Narayana,

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

 

SlOkam 670

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Paadhukai of the Lord

who destroys the AsurAs ! DevAs are standing before You

to prostrate before You. Their heads sport crowns with

many bright red gems that make their heads look like

a field of ripe , red rice sheaves. The entry of

the green rays from Your emeralds amidst those ripe ,

red rice sheaves looks the flight of a group of green

parrots in their midst .

 

2)Oh PaadhukE! SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The dEvAs wearing

beautiful crowns enmeshed with red rubies are standing at your

feet to prostrate before You . The interplay between the green

rays from Your emeralds and the rows of red gems on the DevA's

crowns at the time of their prostrations gives the appearance of

the flock of green parrots descending on the red field of

rice paddies.

 

3) Oh the Paadhukais of the Lord , who destroys asuras

( asuramardhana PaadharakshE)! The devAs have arrived

at the Thiruvadi of the Lord to prostrate before Him

( sEvArTam aagathavathAm thridasEsvarANAm --). Their

heads adorn crowns with dense rows of padhmarAga gems

( ThridasEsvarANAm chUDAmaNi prakarasAlishu mouLishu).

Amidst that rows of fields resembling ripe red rice

crops , Your green rays from the emeralds on You fall

( svEna asmagarbha mahasA samvarthayasi). That mingling

of the green rays on the red fields of rubies reminds

one of the flocks of green parrots landing on the reddish

rows of rice ready for harvest ( asmagarbha mahasA

sukha pankthi sObhAm samvarthayasi)...(V.S).
