Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): ********************************** 1) Oh PaadhukE ! After the sound of conches subsided during the time of Your coronation , huge drums known as DhundhubIs were beaten in AyOdhyA .Giant reverbations from the beaten dhundhubhIs reached all the way to LankA ; immediately , the right eyes of the women of the harem of RaavaNA throbbed uncontrollably indicating impending disasters. 2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! Skilled drummers beat on the huge drums at the conclusion of the blowing of the conches during your coronation. Simultaneously , the right eyelids of the wives of RaavaNA twitched uncontrollably.When the women's right eye, thigh and hand throb , that is a sign of imminent inauspiciousness . 3)The huge drums beat to glorify the great occasion of the coronation of the PaadhukAs as well as to drive away any lingering sins .Dhundhubhis are known for creating such effects. In addition to these known effects, the gigantic sounds arising out of the dhundhubhis caused some thing else at the harems of RaavaNan at LankA. The eye lids of the wives of RaavaNA twitched uncontrollably at the same time , when the big drums sounded at AyOdhyA. The fear was generated in the hearts of the wives of RaavaNA about the imminent disaster to their status as sumangalis. Swamy Desikan states : Dasavadhana vadhUnAm dakshiNai: nEthrakOsai: saadhvasam parigruhItham ( The right eyes of the wives of RaavaNA twitched uncontrollably and acquired fear about impending disasater)...V.S
