Oh Manipaaduka! With the white lustre of pearls, the sweet melody,
the variety of colours generated, You find You are hovered round by
female beetles. They could be regarded as Srutis, marked by
effulgence, sweetness, array of alphabets etc. To Srutis, the Paaduka
becomes another Presiding Deity (Saraswati being one, with white
garment, sweet sound, etc).
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S) :
SlOkam 848
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Mani PaadharakshE !
You are beautiful with the white rays asociated with Your pearls.
You have a sweet sound , when You move. You have many hues
due to the different colored gems adorning You. With the combination
of all the above qualities , You remind me of a flock of bees circling
the lotus feet of the Lord. The bees are nothing but the empowering
principle behind the VedAs.
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh MaNi PaadharakshE !
with Your resplendent white pearls , delightful naadham arising from
Your movements and the multi-colored gems on You , You remind
one of the bee hovering over the lotus flower . Just as the honey bee
that never leaves the lotus flower , Oh PaadhukE , You never leave
the side of Your Lord's sacred feet even for a moment. You resemble
the adhishtAna dEvathai of all the VedAs (i-e) all the VedAs have
taken their abode in You. Vandu/Vedam is called DhvrEpam) since
the name "Bramaram " for them has two "R"s .
3) Oh Gem-studded PaadharakshE ! You are beautiful with
the lustre of Your pearls ( MukthA mayukha ruchirAm );
You produce a beautiful naadham , when You move
(ManjusvanAm) ; You have the assembly of colors from
black (ornyx) to red (PadhmarAgam ) on Your surface
( MaNibhi: aahitha varNavargAm) . With all these features ,
You resemble a female honey bee at the lotus feet of
Your Lord ( ThvAm Mukundha Padha Padhma madhuvrathee) .
adiyEn also considers You as the aadhaara dEvathai for
the apourushEya Vedams ( akruthrima girAm anyAm
adhi-dEvathAm manyE )....(V.S).
