The splendour of Your Padmaraga gems bestows lustre on to the Chakra present as lines on the foot of the Lord. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V. Sadagopan (V.S) SlOkam 591: 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh golden Paadhukais of the Lord! The radiant lustre of your cluster of rubies gives brilliance to the sign of the disc seen in the middle of the palms of your Lord's lotus feet. Your Lord's palm of the feet carry unique insignias like disc, conch, lotus, flag, kalpaka creeper et al in the form of lines to indicate His status as the Emperor of the universe. 2) Swamy Desikan addresses the Paadhukais as golden Paadhukais (Kaanchana PaadhukE) to remind us about the golden base on which the rows of rubies (paaDala-rathna pankthi) are enmeshed. He sees the rubies emanating a brilliant lustre like agni jwAlai (archishmathi paaDala-rathna pankthi) from the golden base. That red lustre intensifies the tEjas from the chakra rEkai on the palms of the feet of the Lord ( rEkhA-raTAngasya maha: prapanjam prasthouthi )..(V.S)
