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

SlOkam 739

(1)UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam:In the previous verse , 
Swamy Desikan suggested that ChandrA got the power of 
SooryA with the help of the PaadhukAs; in this verse ,
Swamy states that river Ponni ( the golden hued Cauvery) 
also got its golden color form the PaadhukAs. Swamy says:
" Oh Golden PaadhukAs of MukundhA! The river Cauvery attained 
its golden color from You and came to be known as the river 
Ponni from the day on which You occupied its banks and
spread Your golden lustre.Basking under that golden lustre, 
the river inherited/derived its golden lustre leading up to
its name of Ponni. 

(2)SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! River CauvEry 
is known as the golden one (Ponni). You arrived at SrIrangam.
Your golden hue fell on the river and made it golden since
that time.

(3)Oh Golden Paadhukai of MukundhA ( Mukundha Padha hEma-
padhAvani)! When You decorated the pure sand hills of 
the river Cauvery with Your golden rays ( Thvam Yaavath
TadhIyam PuNyam puLinam vibhUshithavathi), from then on
(TadhA Prubruthi) , this cauvEry river ( Iyam KavEratanayA)
became a golden river (BhavathyA kAnthyA kanakApagathvAm 
lEbhE)..(V.S).
