Oh Paaduka! You are seated on the head of the Royal Elephant; the
rows of pearls on You are cross linked by the various rays from the
gems so that the whole looks like the so-called 'Nakshatra-mala', a
decorative network of cross links hung on the face of the elephant.
Namo Narayana,

Special Notes by V.Sadagopn (V.S):
SlOkam 888
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Raghupathi PaadhukE ! You have
become the matchless garland of stars seen on the forehead of the
royal elephant Satrunjaya through Your rows of pearls tightly woven
together wih many rays emanating from Your gems. BharathA placed You
on the back of the royal elephant to bring You back to rule the
kingdom.(here, Swamy Desikan suggests that the PadhukAs are like the
decorative jewelery covering the broad forehead of the royal elephant,
which was seen by one and all during the ocasion of the procession
before coronation ).
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: When Bharathan arranged a procession
on the back of the royal elephant prior to your ascent to the
simhAsanam of the Raghu vamsam, You resembled a garland of stars on
the forehead of the elephant. How so? The pearls on You separated by
the many gems in between resembled a nakshathra Maala, where the
pearls are the stars and the colored knots in between to make the
necklace are the different gems.
3) Oh Raghupathi PadharakshE ! You look like a beautiful necklace
consisting of twenty seven stars (Thvam Kaapi abhirAmA nakshathra
mAlA abhU: ). You are beautiful with the colored knots ( colored
gems) that tie together the pearls (Thvam PariNatha guNajAlA
bahuvidha maNi rasmi granthibandha abhirAmA) that gives the
appearance of a necklace of stars shining on the forehead of
the royal elephant ( Raajavaahyasya kumbhE kalitharuchi: kaapi
Nakshathra maalA abhU: )...(V.S).
