O Lord, We have resorted

to you like the rulers of the world, shedding their ego, gather

around you seeking your favour. Will your eyes like lotuses open towards

us slowly like half open ankle bells. If you look at us with your eyes as if

the sun and the moon have risen, all our sins will be destroyed.

angaNmAjnAlam- This

beautiful world. It is the maya of the Lord which creates abhimana or

attachment to the worldly objects which appear beautiful and desirable to the

mind covered with ignorance. To get rid of the abimana is abhimanabhanga,

when one gets the knowledge that all this belong to the Lord and we are

here to do His work.

 

arasar ----sangam iruppAr-this

refers to the kings who were imprisoned by Jarasandha and were released by Krishna. They said that they wanted to leave their

kingdoms and be with Krishna in His

service.(Bhagavatham.10-73-10to15)

 

kinkiNi----thAmaraippoo-The

lotus flower half opened resembles the ankle bells . the reason for this is

that the sun and the moon rise simultaneously.The two eyes of the Lord are

compared to sun and the moon, thingalum

Adhitthiyanum ezundhArpOl, implying that they should grace the

devotees with the cool glance like the moon and should burn their ignorance

like the sun dispels the darkness. They are half closed in order not to

see the faults of those who surrender to Him and half open to grant protection.

 

sengaN----viziyavO-They

want the first glance to fall on them when He wakes up. When the eyes open up

slowly the glance falls on the object in front. Vedntadesika says in his

yadhavabhyudhaya that the reason Lakshmi and Bhoodevi are sitting at the feet

of the Lord is that they want His first glance to fall on them The purpose of

this is to plead the cause of the devotees.

 

engaL mElSApam izindhelOrempAvAi- PApa

or sin can be removed by acts of expiation but SApa, curse has to be endured.

But the glance and the grace of the Lord can destroy even that.

 

'After many lives due to

some merit done in some early life we have been blessed with the thought of

approaching you and have come to serve you and you have to look at us with

mercy and save us.' This is the purport of the pasuram.

 

There are two words

employed to denote the eyes of the Lord. SengaN

and angaN, to denote

the external and internal sight.

 

It is said that by

learning and reciting this pasuram one can remove all obstacles that stand

between him and his desired object.
