prasakthim yathraIthE vidhaDhathi mahAnIlamaNya:

 

Oh Paaduka! You are perhaps what was frozen, and evolved into You,

from the honey flowing from the lotuses of the Feet. The blue stones

are but the bees hovering on the contents of the honey.

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

 

SlOkam 709

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! We believe that

You are the solidified honey , which originated from the lotus

feet of Your Lord. We also believe that Your rows of great

sapphires are the immobile bluish-black bees drunk with

that honey .

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that

the appearance of Swamy NammAzhwAr in His role as the Paadhukai

of the Lord is like the embodiment of his Bhakthi for the Lord.

The paasurams blessed by Swamy NammazhwAr are outpourings

of bhakthi in a state of total immersion in Bhagavath

GuNAnubhavam.Those bhkathAs , who have true comprehension

of the meanings of Swamy NammAzhwAr's (ShaThAri Soory's)

paasurams are transported into a state of bliss .

 

3)Oh PaadhukE! We assess You as the solidified honey

that emanated from the lotus feet of SrIRanganAthan

( ThvAm ittham chanIbhUthAm RangavasathE: padha

kamala mAdhvee parNathim pratheema:). The sapphires

on You are like the proud bees consuming that lotus

honey , while being motionless ( Yathra paryanthe

sphurantha: yEthE mahAneelAmaNya: nispandha madhupa

prasakthim vidhadathi)...(V.S).
