Oh Paaduka! You are a spontaneous spring of graciousness and You

grant bliss to seekers and devotees. Mother earth perhaps performed

the Bharanyasa (deposition of one's burden) to You, not being able to

bear the heavy sinners of the wrong-sighted class who interpret the

scriptures as they like. May be , You were also happy that she bore

Your stamp with pleasure. As a consequence, You granted by means of

Your rays of various colours, a variety of garments for Bhoomi Devi!

 

Namo Narayana,

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

 

Slokam 861

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh RanganAtha PaadhukE !

You present BhUmi Devi with new clothes through Your thousands of

colorful rays. She causes happiness to Her devotees. You remove Her

burden of carrying the demented scholars with incorrect views on Your

Lord's primordial nature and auspicious attributes. You clear the

world often of such scholars causing mischief and make Bhumi Devi

shed this burden. At those times, You present Her with new and novel

dresses woven out of Your myriad colorful rays and honor Her.

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE ! When one looks at the

spreading of the rays from your gems on Mother Earth, You appear to

be presenting to BhUmi Devi a multi-colored vasthram to honor Her for

patiently bearing Your weight and of that Lord positioned on You.

 

3) Oh Paadhukais protecting the sacred feet of RanganAtha (

RangAdhirAja Padha RakshaNi)! You produce joy in those , who are dear

to you ( praNayinAm Aanandhasoo: ). You are blemishless (anagha:) and

tranquil ( PrasAdhA ). When Your weight is placed on BhUmi , She

exhibits firmness and does not show unsteadiness ( nija bharE nyasthE

sTirathAm bhajanthyA: VasundharAyA: ). For Her forbearance and

support, You seem to present Her with a multi-colored vasthram in the

form of Your many colored rays ( VasundharAyA: rathna bhAsA

varNAmsukam vitharaseeva)...(V.S).
