    rochih choodaalachoodaamaNih uragaripoh esha choodaabhujangah

Let Sankhchooda, whose form getting reflected in the multitude of gems in the  crown of Garuda, giving an impression that he is surrounding all the serpents in his abode  to protect them and who gives the appearance  of a row of autumn clouds on the golden mountain Meru by his white body with the gems on his hoods on the golden hued Garuda, protect us

Starting with this sloka Desika describes in detail each serpent forming the ornament for Garuda. Here he describes Sankhachooda who is worn on the crown, choodaabhujangah of Garuda. His form is reflected on the precious stones in the crown of Garuda, koteere rathnakotiptrathiphalitha. When he is moving round, abhithah nijaih veshtanaih it looks as though he is surrounding the serpents of his abode, whom he is  protecting, valmeekasThaansvayooThyaanklrptharakshah iva. His hoods containing gems which shine bright, rochi choodaalachoodamaNih on his white body at the top of the golden body of Garuda presents a picture of a row of autumn clouds on the golden mount Meru, hemaachala viDhrtha saradmeghalekhaa.

Let the great serpent that forms the pseudo earrings of Garuda, which is put to shame by the lustre of the big ears of Garuda and contracting its body, breathing slowly and eating wind with bent head, wishes to hide itself under the pretext of reflecting on the wall-like cheek of Garuda, destroy our sins soon.

Two serpents, padmam and mahaapadmam are positioned near the ears of Garuda like his earrings, kuhakakundala. They contract their body, svabhogam samkshipya,  and breath slowly, mandham mandham niSvasan with bent heads,dharavinathamukha  eat only wind, sameeram aSnan. This, Desika says is due to their shame on seeing the lustre of the big ears of Garuda, dhraagheeyah karNapaaSa dhyuthi paribhavana vreedayaa iva. They get reflected on his cheeks which are wide like a wall, gandabhitthi and it looks as though seeking some place to hide themselves, gooDam vivikshuh they have chosen the wall of his cheeks to hide behind under the pretext of being reflections, prathiphalanamishaath.
