The vaidoorya gems give a picture of cool ponds. The wind blows; the emerald stones give a green lustre of coolness. At that state of a cool abode, You become an ideal resting resort for us, who have the samsara ordeal of going hither and thither in illusion, nescience, and loss of consciousness. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): SlOkam 850 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Swamy Desikan says here that the PaadhukAs are like a comfortable resting place known for its cool shade, gentle winds and abundant water supplies.He says: " Oh Lord's PaadhukE! You serve as a resting ground for the people afflicted by the ills of samsAra. Your vaidooryA stones with their clarity serve as a cool brook of water at that resting place . Your emeralds serve as a cool shade there. The DevAs (Maruths) associated with You serve as the cool breeze . At such an exquisitely comfortable resting place provided by You , the suffering human beings scorched by the heat of worldly afflictions find their comfort". 2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! Just as a site with cool water and comforting shade are desirable places of rest for a traveller affected by the severe heat of the summer , Your comforting shade and the coolness associated with the luste of Your gems remove the delusion of Jeevans suffering from the afflictions of SamsAram. They seek You therefore as a preferred place of shelter . 3) Oh Souri PadhAvani ! The VaiDUryams enmeshed in You produce coolness like the thrist quenching water (VaiDUrya Ramya salilA ) . You are celebrated by the DevAs (Marudhbhi: mahithA ). The assembly of rays from Your emeralds serve as a comforting shade to rest ( marathakOpala rasmi jALai: ChAyavathee). You become the resting station for those , who are afflicted by the bramam of samsAric activities( Thvam asrAntha-mOha padhavee paTikasya janthO: visrAnthi- bhUmiriva asi) ...(V.S). Yahoo!
