Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:
876. unnatham balivirODhinasthadhA pAdhukE! padhasarOjamAshrithA
moUkthikasthabakamaDhyasammitham vyOma ShadpadhathulAmalamBhaya:
Oh Paaduka! When the Lord took the form of Trivikrama to quell Bali,
it was a mammoth size; the foot at the top was a vast limb; the
Paaduka too was of an enormously broad area; then Your bunches of
pearls looked like flower-bunches. Like the dark blue beetles that
hover between flowers, the whole sky was caught between bunches of
flower-like pearls!
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(V.S)
SlOkam 876
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Swamy Desikan points out that the
PaadhukAs can also take a gigantic and miniature form referred to in
the previous verse. Swamy says: "Oh PaadhukE! When MahA Bali became
the enemy of the DevAs, Your Lord became His enemy. He took
the incarnation of Thrivikrama and grew to occupy the earth and the
sky. In the sky, You grew with Him and Your rows of pearls looked
like a huge bunch of white flowers on which the blue sky sat as the
bees on that flower bunch ". The gigantic sky fitted in to the
expanse of the row of pearls of the PaadhukAs. Such was the size of
PaadhukAs adorning the Lord's Thiruvadi at the time of Thrivikrama's
measurement of the sky with one step.
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! During the time of
ThrivikramAvathAram, the sky was caught between the pearls on You and
the sky looked like the bees caught in the middle of a flower bunch
(pearls).
3) Oh PadhukE! During ThrivikramAvathAram, You were growing with the
upward growing, gigantic feet of the Lord, who is the enemy of Bali (
Thvam Unnatham Bhali virOdhina: padha sarOjam aasrithA ). At that
time (TadhA), You made the blue sky (vyOma) interpositioned with Your
pearls ( moukthika sthamBaka madhya sammithAm vyOma ) and made the
sky look like a group of bees caught in between a flower bunch (TadhA
vyOma Shadpadha-thulAm alabhya: )..(V.S).
