Oh Paaduka! You are like a female beetle hovering around the Feet-
lotuses of the Lord! You excel in walking gait; Your sides are
beautiful; You emit a note melodious like the chord-striking arrow of
Kama. You possess sapphires; like You, the beetle comes round and
round; with beautiful wings, black colour, and sweet melody.
May we pay respectful homage to You at all times!
Namo Narayana,

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
SlOkam 905
1. UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! We salute You as the
blue female bee, who drinks the honey from the lotus feet of Your
Lord. You are like the sweet sounding bee made up of Your blue rows
of sapphire, which pushes the flower arrows of ManmathA and imbues
them with a sweet sound caused by Your exertions during the
sanchArams. You serve as the chord of his bow made of
Sugarcane plant.
2. SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! Your dark blue hue
arising from the sapphires on You make You resemble a female blue bee
in deep love with Your Lord. You seem to live and thrive by the honey
flowing out of the lotus feet of Your Lord. For You that anubhavam of
Your Lord's sacred feet seems to be the JeevAdhAram (basis for
existence), BhOgyam ( enjoyable entity) and pOshakam(nourishment).
Your abhinivEsam (intense desire) for Your Lord, viraha vyasanam (
sorrow on seperation from Your Lord) and ananya gathithvam ( not
desiring any one else as means and phalan except Your Lord) are
manifestations of Your PathivrathA Dharmam. When You as a female bee
are engaged in speedy flights , your movement looks like a moving
dark line reminding us of the chord of ManmathA's bow.
3. Swamy Desikan celebrates the many vaibhavams of Paadhukais of the
Lord and states that we will refelct on that Vaibhavam every
second : "Hari CharaNa aravindha makarandha madhuvrathkAm Bhavatheem
anupadham aadhriyEmahi ". Here PaadhukA identifies the Paadhukais as
the bee (MadhuvrathikA ) for the honey (makarandham) flowing from the
lotus feet of the Lord (Hari CharaNam ). Swamy Desikan visualizes the
Vaibhavam in number of ways in this slOkam : " Chathura vihAriNee" (
very skilled movements) , "Ruchira paksha ruchi " ( beautiful golden
lustre of the sides ) , delectable sound as the sound generated by
the chord from the bow of ManmathA ( manasija sAyakAsana guNa uchitha
manju svAm) and have the kaanthi reminiscent of sapphires (
MahEndraseelaa mahithAm).
