Oh Manipaaduka! 'Saaroopya' is the prize, the Lord reserves for

Paramaikantins (who cannot think, even, of another God). You grant it-

Saaroopyam, sameness of form-to all, and without any exertion, too,

by making them all blue like the Lord, by the impact of the

effulgence of the sapphires.

 

Namo Narayana,

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

 

Slokam 686

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Mani PaadhukE! Through the blue

rays of Your sapphires , You confer effortlessly the Moksha known

as SaarUpyam on all those , who worship You; this type of Moksham

is generally atained through the dificult practise of discarding

all other Gods in favour of Your Lord. " Saaroopyam is one of

the four kinds of MokshAs , a human being can aspire to. Through

this blessing , the liberated looks akin to the Lord in form and

color. Only those clearminded souls free of doubts about

RanganAthan's unique boon-granting capabilities approach Him and

attain SaarUpyA Moksham. Swamy Desikan states that the PaadhukAs

through their blue rays from sapphires confers SaarUpya Moksham

without any great effort on the worshippers.

 

(2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: All those who are beneficiaries

of the blue rays from Your sapphires falling on them attain

the shining bluish-black hue just like Your Lord.The inner

meaning is that those who comprehend correctly the true

meanings of the AzhwAr's paasurams come to the conclusion

that Your Lord is the Supreme Lord and effortlessly attain

Him by rejecting all the other saadhanAs.

 

(3) Swamy Desikan says the the blue and unblemishde

rays of the Paadhukais fall on the people and has

a very interesting effect . That effect arises

in an effortless manner (ayathnatha: vidhathsE).

what is the effect that arises out of the blue

and blemishles rays of Indhraneela gems

falling on ParamaikAnthis in an effortless

manner ? It is Hari-SaarUpyam.( Thvam anagai: Harineela-

samudhbhavai: mayUkai: Hari-SaarUpyam ayathnatha:

vidhathse)...(V.S).
