SrI:
In the first
anuvAkam , JalAbhimAna
dEvathais ,
Sarasvati and other dEvataas
were saluted .
These vandhanams are to be
considered as
Vandhanams for Lord Soorya
Himself , since the
theertams , Oshadhis
(Medicinal plants)
become powerful thru
the sambhandham
with Sun's rays .Thus
Sooryan is their life giver .
