SrimathE RaamAnujAya nama:

137. aasthAya tathra sphutabindhunaadham
shtamBhEramam thaadhrutha sannivEsam
adarsayasthvam puramadhyabhAgE
PaadhAvani tvath praNayasrayathvam

Translation by U.Ve.Sri V.N.Vedantha Desikan Swamy
***************************************************

Oh PaadhukE!While in the centre of the city , the elephant
carrying You on its back , had on its face colored drops and 
drawings (called Bindhu) , had its own roar sounding like 
the PraNavam , very uniquely indeed -and on the elephant 
demonstrated Your being based on PraNavam , very much in
consonance with the Sriranga VimAnam .

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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam :

Oh PaadhukE ! The sight of You in the northern city of
AyOdhyA seated on the royal elephant with its trunk curved 
like the shape of PraNavam and making the majestic sound 
of PraNavam reminds me of Srirangam. There , You are sitting
upon the vimAnam known as the PraNavAkruthi VimAnam ( structure
over the sanctum-sanctorium resembling the shape of PraNavam )
and engaged in raising the auspicious sound of PraNavam .

2. Srimath Andavan's anubhavam:

Oh PaadhukE ! You were seated on top of the painted
elephant making loud roars . That sight remindsadiyEn
of PraNavAkAra VimAnam ( In grantha aksharam , the word
"OM" resembles both the trunk of the elephant and 
the Sriranga VimAnam ).

3. The light and sound aspects of the bhavani of 
the Paadhukais on top of the elephant is indicated by 
Swami Desikan with the choice of words :" SpuDa bindhu-
naadham ". Bindhu can also be intrepreted as anusvaram and 
naadham as Svaram in the context of vedic recitation 
linked with PraNava ucchAraNam . Oh PadhukE ! That sound 
and shape reminds adiyEn of Your" PraNavAsrayathvam " 
( having the PraNavAkaara VimAnam as Your abode )...V.S
