Oh Paaduka! You bear a crown-in the form of the Lord's Feet, which

are tenderly caressed by the great Mahalakshmi. You are thus a

Soverign Queen, befitting which status, the knob looks like an

umbrella held above You.

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

 

SlOkam 809

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! For You, the Lord's feet

pressed by SrI RanganAyaki serves as the crown and Your YantrikA fits

the role of the white umbrella over that crown signifying Your

soverignity.

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam : Oh PaadhukE! You have the soubhAgyam

of lifting (carrying ) the Thiruvadi of the Lord , which have the

distinct honor of being pressed by MahA Lakshmi Herself. When we look

at those Thiruvadis, they look like the crown for You, who is the

king of all the three universes. In this context, Your

YanthrikA appears like the umbrella over that crown.

 

3) Lord's Thiruvadi has the auspiciousness of being pressed by SrI

Devi ( PadhmAlayA: nithyam parichitam padham). Those sacred feet are

always like the decorative crown for You since they are on top of You

( nithyam nibhaddha kireeta shObham ).Your YanthrikA that extends

upwards from You ( tE udhvahanthyA: anguliyanthrikA ) is like the

umbrella that is positoned over the crowened head of an emperor ( tE

anguLiyanthrikA sAmrAjya Sampatham anuroopam aathapathramiva ruchim

angIkarOthi)..(V.S).
