Oh Paaduka! Your charming pearl-array emits a clear radiation-
effulgence, that is, once, exuding honey of light. It presents a 
picture of flowers, which have resulted from the Kalpaka tree, drawn 
in line-sketch on the lower side of the Lord's Feet!

Note-Sankja-rathanga-kalpaka-dvaja-aravinda-ankusha-vajra (Alavandar 
Stotra Ratnam verse 31, lists the various insignias on the foot, 
bespeaking nobility of birth), Verses 591, 592 listed Chakra and 
Padma. Here Kalpaka.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 635

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Swamy Desikan compares 
the rows of pearls on the Lord's Paadhukais here to
the rows of flower bunches from the divine Kalpaka tree. 
He says: " Oh PaadhukE! Your rows of pearls with its beautiful
rays appear like the rows of flowers of the Kalpaka tree
generating a stream of honey. That Kalpaka tree is seen 
in the middle of Your Lord's lotus feet as a part of
insignias denoting His status as the Emperor of all 
the Universes.The spreading of Your brilliant rays appear 
like the flow of honey from those Kalpaka flower bunches.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: When one sees the enmeshed
pearls on You , it reminds them of the Kalpaka tree symbol
in the form of lines seen in the inside soul of the Lord's 
Thiruvadi.Your pearls look like the white flowers of that 
Kalpaka tree growing out of that region.The lustre arising out 
of them reminds one of the swift and copious flow of honey 
from those Kalpaka flowers.The inner meaning is that Swamy 
NammAzhwAr's paasurams are like the never-fading Kalpaka
flowers generating the divine honey that grants all boons .

3) Oh PaadhukE! Your rows of pearls are beautiful
( PaadhAvani! thE moukthika paddhathi: mugdhA). 
They are like the rows of the white flowers associated
with the Kalpaka tree formed by the lines(rEkhAthmana:) 
on Your Lord's inner feet (thE Rangapathi paadhasarOja
madhyE rooDasya rEkhAthmana: SuratarO: pushpa pankthiriva 
parisphurathi)..(V.S)
