Oh Paaduka! You in Your great enthusiasm, direct the effulgent

radiations of the emeralds, themselves being fragrant with Vedic

aroma, on the Veda-dolls, so that it looks like Damanaka

(Marikkozhundu) loops.

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

 

SlOkam 673:

 

1) UtthamUr Sawmy's anubhavam: Oh Devi PaadhukE! You impart

the fragrance of VedAntha to Your emerald gems and make them

become the mantrAs and attach them as maidens in front of You.

As a result of Your service , the propensity for evil decreases

and the righteousness grows in the world and the whole universe

benefits . The daughters (maiden) of the wife of the Lord

responsible for His playful activities (leelAs) , (i-e).,

Veda KumAris help the Lord thus to hold the title of

the slayer of asurAs (evil).

 

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

are enmeshed the emerald gems. Their lustre falls

always on the heads of Veda sundaris playing with

the Lord. That scene reminds one of the adornment

with the tender green marukkozhundhu known for its

fragrance. In their lustres , the Upanishads gain

their fragrance(i.e) the Upanishads celebrate that

unique lustre.

 

3) Oh the Paadukais of the lord , who slays

the asurAs ( Danuja MaTana CharaNa rakshE)!

Your emeralds and the splendid green rays

emanating from the emeralds (harimaNi MayUkhA:)have

the frgrance of Upanishads ( harimaNi mayUkhai:

anjitha adhyAthma gandham).You become joyous

(Thvam jaatha kouthUhalA) as a result. Those emerald

rays fall on the roots of the tresses on the head of

the Veda Sundaris and gives the appearance of rows

of green fields( sruthInAm mouLou damanakadhala

pankthim disasi)...(V.S).
