Extended Meaning
*****************
Oh Lord DhaivanAyakA! Your glances are eager to 
perfrom the leelai of protecting the Universe and
its beings effortlessly in a sportive manner.Your 
auspicious eyes appear like the just blossomed lotuses.
When Your glances fall on a chEthanam , Your joy
over gaining that chEthanam as Your Prapannan is 
evident. one wonders whether Your glances directed
at the chEthanams incorporate inside them the words of
inquiry about heir well being .When those glances of
Yours fall on a ChEthanam , that blessed one feels
like being soaked in the rain of life-granting nectar.
As those sacred glances fall on me , adiyEn's mind and 
body are rid of all tApams and enjoy the cool comfort
like standing under a most shady tree on a broiling day.

*********************
VaimAnika Adhipa! Oh Lord who is the Master of those
dEvAs, who travel in VimAnams in the sky (Whose feet 
never touch the ground)! Your eyes move rapidly 
to scan Your universe to perform the sport of
protecting the world and its beings ( Visva rakshana vihAram).
You are intent (krutha Kshanai:) on performing these 
duties of protection and vichAram (inquiry )of Yoga KshEmam.
At those times, Your fast moving eyes are like the fully
blossomed red lotuses( viDamBitha mugdha Padhmai: iva)
and express great joy inside those glances. Those glances
are the rejuvenating showers of nectar ( amrutha varsha nibhai:)
and are filled with queries about the Yoga KshEmam of 
the chEthanams ( anAmaya vAkyagarbhai: sahitha:)on
whom they fall. Through the dwelling of those nectar-
like glances , adiyEn feels cooled (relieved) from 
the miserable samsAric tApams( tE apAngai: aardhrI bavAmi). 

The thirty third slOkam of SrI VaradarAja PanchAsath 
elaborates on the rejuvenating power of the Lord's
KaruNA KaDAkshams:

Oh VaradarAjA! DEva PerumALE! adiyEn is tossed about
and suffering in the rivers of mirage generated by
the severe heat of the endless SamsAric afflictions 
( asrAntha samsaraNa karma niBhIDitasya bhOga marIchikAsu
brAnthasya mE).May Your avyAja KaruNA kadAkshams falling on
this suffering jeevan ( niravagraham yEthamAnA: ThvadhIya
KaruNAmrutha dhrushti pAdha:) be the reviving instruments
( jeevAthu asthu).When You have made the sankalpam to
protect , no one can stop You.The karunAmrutham arising
from Your dhivya chakshus rains in on us and brings us
back to life after being knocked out by the powerful 
SamsAric tApams.

Poets Compare often the the Lord's eyes to beautiful 
red lotuses . Examples are: "KaNNiNayum aravindham "
according to Thirumangai AzhwAr.KurEsar points out that
the eyes, Thirumukha Mandalam hosing the eyes, the hands
and the feet of the Lord are all Lotuses in the 21st slOkam of
SrI VaradarAja Sthavam):

"paaNi pAdha vadhana EekshaNa sabdhai:
ambhujAni apadhisan Varadha ! Thvam"

"aayathAksham , ambhuja nethram" are the additionsal
salutations of KurEsar regarding the Lord's lotus-like
beautiful eyes.

The richness and power of the Lord's glances are further
saluted by KurEsar in his 36th slOkam of SrI VaradarAja
Sthavam ( abhivarshathi harsham aardhrabhAvam tanuthE tE 
Varadhaisha dhrushti paatha:). allaluRum jeevankaLidam 
TangaLukku uLLa karuNai allavA itharkku kAraNam yenkirAr.


SlOkam 26: (The Beauty of the Lord's Nose)
*****************************************
nithyOdhithair-nigama nissvasithais-TavaishA
nAsA nNabasccharapathE nayanAbdhi sEthu:
aamrEDitha priyatamA mukhapadhma gandhai:
aasvAsinee bhavathi samprathi muhyathO mE 

Extended Meaning
*****************
Oh Dhaiva NaayakA! Your eyes are like individual
Oceans in their sprawling size and coolness. Your
nose appears like a dam to separate these two oceans 
from uniting with each other to create even a vaster
ocean.The breaths that come out without interruption
from Your sacred nose are the exhaled VedAs (Veda SvAsams).
When Youtr dear consort's lotus faces unite with Yours 
on both cheeks, then the naturally fragrant breaths of
Theirs unite with Your breath and the fragrance of
the Veda SvAsam is multiplied manyfolds. When adiyEn
meditates on Your sacred nose and the Veda SvAsam 
that emanates from there ,adiyEn's confusions and 
ignorance are banished and adiyEn feels comforted.

Oh Nabhascchara PathE!( Oh Lord of the DevAs ,
who travel in the skies!)Tava yEshA nAsA nayana abdhi 
sEthu:( Your majestic nose is like a dam between Your
huge oceans of eyes).ThirukkaNNkaL of the Lord are
equated here to vast oceans in breadth and depth .
In the manner instructed , the nose is sending out
breaths , which are the exhalation of VedAs (Yasya
nissvasitham VedA:).Those fragrant vedic exhalations
mingle with the fragrant breaths of the dear Devis of 
the Lord (PriyatamA Mukha Padhma gandhai:sangamam gathvA)
as they press their cheeks with those of the Lord.
The blending of their (Devis')naturally fragrant breaths 
with those of the Lord carrying vedic fragrance enhances 
the Veda Vaasanai manyfold(aamrEDithA:).

In the 35th slOkam of SrI VaradarAja Sthavam , KurEsar
includes the comparison of the Lord's nose serving as
a dam between the two eyes: dhrukchala sindhO: Tava
naasikEva sEthu:". This passage is anusandhEyam here.

NamO SrI DevanATAya,
Daasan, Oppiliappan Koil VaradAchAri SadagOpan 

P.S: May the Auspicious glances of Lord DeavanAthan
fall on You and motivate You to take part in His
RathnAngi Kaimkaryam !
