(Meaning) : Oh VishNu Bhagavann! When are You going to give
the five signals that convey Your benovolent intentions towards
me ? adiyEn is awaiting the indication of those signals: the movement of
Your auspicious brows , Your beautiful and cool glances , Your bewitching
smile , Your sweet words of welcome and Your thirumukha MaNDalam filled
with affection for adiyEn .
(Comments): Bharatha Naatya Saasthram states that one should express
one's thoughts by fivemeans : Oshtaa-akshi-bhrU hastha paadhou vaachA
mounEna soochayEth " ( lips, eyes, brow , hands , legs , speech and
silence) . Here , KurEsar begs the Lord to reveal His auspicious
intentions towards him with those signals . He asks : when are You going
to bless adiyEn and when can I know about that thru the signals
emanating
from the movements and expressions originating from Your limbs and
faculty ?
KurEsar expresses his longing here for signs of Bhagavath anugraham .

(Meaning): Oh Vaikunta NaaTa ! When will my head be drenched
and made cool by the sacred waters flowing from Your auspicious feet
embossed with the holy marks of Vajram , elephant goad (ankusam) ,
flag , lotus , chakram , conch , fish , nectar pot and kalpaka tree ?
(Commentary) : BhagavAnn is Mahaa Purushan and as such unique
lakshaNams (marks) are seen on the sole of His sacred feet .They indicate
that Bhagavaan is Para Tatthvam ( Supreme principle) and is the SaamrAD
( Emperor of the Universes) . VishNu Sooktham revelas that delectable honey
flows from the sacred feet of the Lord : " VishNO: padhE ParamE madhva
uthsa: ".
Sounakar , Sukha Brahmam , Swamy AlavanthAr and Swamy Desikan have made
similar prayers for the placement of the Lord's Thiruvadis with the above
subha lakshaNams on their heads . Sri Sukha Brahmam longed for such
a blessing this way : " sanchidhayEdh BhagathasccharaNAravindham
vajrAnkusa-dhvaja- sarOruha-laanchanADyam ".

angeekarishyathi chiram Tava paadha padhmam
(Meaning) : Oh Vaikunta NaaTa ! When will Your lotus soft feet
have its permanent rest on adiyEn's head as undiminishing wealth ?
Those sacred feet are the ones , which through their steps showed
the dimensions of the worlds and stay as the matchless alankArams
(decorations ) for the heads of Your BhakthAs .
(Commentary) : Lord's sacred feet is the wealth that never diminishes
or disappears (Nithya dhanam) . They are the superior decorations
(noble SirOalankAram/utthamam utthamsam) for the heads of visEsha
BhakthAs of the Lord ( anutthama bhakthi bhAjAm utthamsam) . Those
sacred feet are the Ones that measured the three worlds during Thrivikrama
avathAram ( Thraivikrama krama krutha aakramaNa thrilOkam , Paadha
Padhmam ) . During ThrivikramAvathAram , the mark of the Lord's feet
was left on all objects in the three worlds . They got sanctified by that
association .DevAs derived their sakthi from that imprint of the Lord's
feet on their heads ( Rg Vedam : athO dEvA avanthu nO yathO VishNur-
vichakramE ) . KurEsar longs for that sambhandham . In SrI Vaikuntam ,
the abode of Muktha Jeevans is between the sacred feet of the Lord and
the aadhAra Padhmam ( lotus below the sacred feet of the Lord ) .

(Meaning) : Oh Vaikunta NaaTa ! When are You going to make
adiyEn fulfilled by placing Your tender hand over my head ?
That hand of Yours is marked by softness reminescent of
the lotus petals , has the lotus flower marks inside ( on the palm)
and generates joy for the eye, nose , body and mind ( indhriyANAm
abhinandhanam) .
(Commentary ) : Sri Saathvatha Samhithai states that SrI Vaikunta NaaTan
looks with affection at the Muktha Jeevans that reaches His supreme abode ,
greets them with His sweet welcome and places His hand on the siras of
the jeevans as anugraha mudhrai . KurEsar like others before him begs
the Lord to prevent his indhriyams from roaming here and there ( patti
mEyAthu) by placing His auspicious hands over his head (AzhwAr's request:
" aNi mihu tAmaraik-kaiyai anthO ! adicchiyOm talaimisai Nee aNiyAyAi ) .

hai pushkalaiva nikhilApi bhavath vibhUthi :
(Meaning) : Oh Vaikunta NaaTa ! The natural beauty of Your body
without the association of Your aabharaNams is itself astounding .
That would be sufficent to satisfy anyone . When the aabhAraNams
are also added , that superior beauty celebrated by AzhwArs and
AchAryAs becomes multifold and makes one say , enough , enough .
This is indeed a matter of great wonder . This slOkam is linkable to
ThiruppANAzhwAr's anubhavam of Lord RanganAtha ( kOla MaamaNi
aaramum mutthu dhAmamum mudivillathOr yezhil neela mEni IyyO !
niRai koNDathenn nenjinayE ! ) . Swamy Desikan would say later along
these lines: " BhUshAyudhai: adhigatham nija kaanthi hEthO: ) . Every
limb of the Lord is mangaLAnAm MangaLam . When the aabharaNams
are added , then they get enhanced in their beauty and add to
the Lord's Soundharyam .

(Meaning) : Oh SrI Vaikunta NaaTa ! May adiyEn be blessed to have
Your most beautiful and eye-filling darsanam of Your ThirumEni with
its Srivathsam mole , Kousthubha gem , tilakam , shoulder decorations ,
pearl necklace , forest flower garland , gem -- laden waist belt , ankle
jewelery and other aabharaNams !
(Commentary ) : Sripathy Roopa DhyAnam along the lines described
in SrI Poushkara Samhithai is attempted here ( sragvasthrAbaraNai:
yuktham svAnuroopai: anUpamai: , chinmayai: svaprakAsaisccha
anyOnya ruchiranjithai: ) . KurEsar wishes to enjoy that dhivya
soundharyam without blinking his eyes like the dEvAs ; sadhA pasyanthy
anubhavam is souhgt . NaayikA BhAvam is implied in this anubhavam
( Bhuktham PriyAbhi: animEsha vilOchanAbhi: ) . There is no doubt about
the Svaroopam of the Lord , when one looks at the unique aabharaNams
adorning the Lord . For instance , the beautiful and tall crown adorning
His head is not seen on the heads of Brahmaa or Sivan . This crown
is unique to Him . Sivan has matted locks . Brahmaa has the appearance
of Tapasvi ( Taapasa Vesham) . Our Lord's SarvEswarathvam is indicated
by the Crown ( Bhagavatasthu kiriDAdhi yOgAth SarvEswarathva khyApakam) .
He is understood as " ImayOr Talaivan " through the adornment of
this Vaira Mudi .

(Meaning) : Here KurEsar enjoys the integrated beauty of all
the limbs of SrI Vaikunta NaaTan(SamudhAya sObhA anubhavam) .
Oh Vaikunta NaaTa ! Your divine body and portions of Your eyes have
the dark bluish-black hue of NeelOthpalam ( Karuneythal pushpam) .
Your palms and sole of Your divine feet have a red hue reminding one of
the petals of red lotus. Your gentle smile and lips have the hue of
the cool , Moon's rays . Your chest has the radiance of gold arising
from the residence of HiraNya VarNai , MahA Lakshmi . All of these
different hues compliment each other and add to the total beauty of
Your dhivya ThirumEni . When will adiyEn enjoy that samudhAya
sobhA soundharyam as the dhvAdasi PaaraNai for one , who has
observed EkAdasi Vratham ?
