Meaning:
"My Head, Lord, my Superior, Omniscient Supreme that
sits on the bull", unless thus praised and kept in
mind, the Grace of the Reverend Lord of thirunelvAyil
araththuRai, having the chill gardens on the banks of
river niva whose floods bring along fragrant flowers,
will not be available.
Notes:
1. The Highly Merciful Lord not bearing the small
child sambandhar walk ing on the hot rough ground
seeking His various abodes, presented pearl palanquin
(pallakku), umbrella and instruments that are sounded
declaring the arrival of eminant ones. The devotee who
gave his complete heart to the Lord, saluted God at
thiruvarattuRai with the mind brimming with devotion
of thanking and sung this padhikam.
2. The vedas say, after realizing the greatness of the
Supreme, one has to praise It and chant Its names.
That itself will lead to liberation. sambandhar
emphasizes here the need for devotion without which
the pot of the heart will not be matured to accept the
showers of Supreme Grace. So the feeling of the Lord
and the loveful thinking of It would be the effort one
needs to put to get the Divine Grace.
