Short Meaning according to Dr. M.NarasimhAchAry :
********************************************************************
Oh Mother! Both of  You are the recipients of the mental oblations .
Your greatness is inconceivable and it makes our hearts dance in ecstasy .
 
Extended Meaning # 1  according to Villivalam NaarAyaNAcchAr Swamy :
*******************************************************************************************
Oh Mother ! During the time of BharanyAsam ( Prapaatthi) , both Yourself
and Your Consort become the targets for recieving the oblation (havis) of  JeevAthmA
in the homam performed . This is so because of  the homogeneous , Integrated
and unified way in which both of You stand as One (yEka sEshithvam ) to recieve
such offerings . Our minds dance with Joy over both of You and Your vaibhavams ,
which are beyond the power of the Vedams to describe adequately .
 
Extended Meaning # 2 according to Oppiliappan Sannidhi Sri SrIrAma DesikAcchAr Swamy
*******************************************************************************************************************
Oh Mother of the Universe ! Oh MahA Lakshmi ! In the ordinary Yaagams of the world ,
oblations ( Ghee , PurODAsam et al) from the performer of the Yaagam are offered to
the different dEvathAs such as Agni , Indhran , Sooryan  and others in homa roopam . 
 
The dEvathai for whom the Havis is intended is known as the UddhEsyan ( One who
is deemed fit to recieve such Havis) ; That dEvathai recieves the Havis and becomes
delighted . That Havis making the dEvathai happy is known as sEsham and 
the Devathai that recieved the Havis is described as Seshi for that Havis .
 
Lord  accepting the Havis of Aathma during extraordinary Yaagam of BharanyAsam
************************************************************************************************************* 
Prapatthi performed by the chEtanams is also a Yaagam . In this extraordinary Yaagam , 
aathmA is presented to the Lord (EmperumAn) as the Havis .  EmperumAn
for whom the Havis is intended recieves that Havis of AthmA  with delight
as the Seshi  for that Prapatthi Yaj~nam .
 
EmperumAn becomes UddhEsyan and SEshi in that Prapatthi Yaj~nam
just as the DevAs like Indhran et al take on the role of UddhEsyan and
Seshi for the other kinds of Havis. These dEvAs are subject to the influence of
KarmAs ; they acquire puNyams thru sath-KarmAs and become dEvAs
qualified to recieve the havis intended for them and play the role of Seshis.
The dEvAs are not by nature uddhEsyAs ; they do not have the intrinsic
qualifications to become UdhEsyAs and be Seshis . Their good KarmAs (upAthis)
elevate them  to their exalted status. This is true of all ordinary  Yaj~nams other than
the extraordinary Prapatthi Yaj~nam .
 
In that Yaagam of Prapatthi , the situation relating to Havis , UddhEsyan
and the Seshi is quite different . It is a somewhat unique situation .
The havis of AathmA does not belong to the Jeevan . That Havis of
Jeevan in reality belongs to the Lord ; it is His property . Due to one's
ignorance , the sentients think that the Jeevan  is  truly independent
and attach themselves to the Jeevan as their own property . The ignorant
chEtanam thinks that  the Jeevan is His , whereas it really is the property of
the Lord , which leads to the act of theft of Lord's property ( aathma chOram) .
 
When the chEtanam gains true knowledge of the Tatthvams , he recognizes
the importance of returning the Lord's property (AathmA) to Him instead of
laying claims to it as his own . When the chEtanam offers the AathmA as havis
to the Lord , the owner , then  Lord becomes the natural uddhEsyan . The jeevans
become His natural servants  and He becomes their intrinsic (SvabhAveeka)
Seshi or Master , who delights in the offered havis . The Lord's glory in contrast
to the dEvAs as UddhEsyan and  Seshi is that these roles are natural to Him.
For the dEvAs , it is not natural but acquired through their UpAthis ( Good KarmAs).
Our Lord is totally beyond the influence of both kinds of  KarmAs  ( Paapa-PuNyams) ,
where as the DevAs are Karma VasyALs . This difference demonstrates the unique
glories of the Lord as the ParamAthmA or Supreme Being or SarvEswaran or
Sarva Seshi .
 
Oh Mother MahA Lakshmi ! Your Lord uninfluenced by the  KarmAs has
yet another glory , when it comes to His UddhEsyathvam (attribute of being
the target of the Havis of AathmA ) and Seshithvam ( enjoyment of that offered 
Havis as the Master ) . He does not stand alone in possessing this UddhEsyathvam
and Seshithvam . He becomes UddhEsyan and Seshi only in union with You .
 
In that Yaagam of Prapatthi , both of You together become UdhEsyars and 
Seshis for the Havis of AathmA . One should not intrepret here that there are two
UddhEsyars and two Seshis for the havis of AathmA . United , they become one
uddhEsyar and Seshi . This is the  way to understand their yEka Seshithvam
and Yeka UdhEsyathvam . This unique vaibhavam of both of You is unlimited .
The VedAs strive to eulogize this unique glory of You as Yeka sEshithva
dampathys and yet the VedAs do not fully succeed in their efforts . They keep trying
to find the words to describe this unique tatthvam adequately . When we think about
this extraordinary yEka sEshithva yOga tatthvam , our minds dance with Joy .
 
Additional Comments on the passages of this slOkam :
***********************************************************************
(1)  Prathyak roopE Havishi : This refers to Havis in the form of JeevAthmA .
 
(2)  ujjitha upAdhi gandham uddhEsyathvam : Targetted to recieve that Havis of
       AathmA without any specific reason such as earning phalans arising from
       sath KarmAs to attain the status of UddhEsyars like Indhran , Agni et al).
       Lord is outside the influence of KarmAs and hence UddhEsythvam and 
       Seshithvam has no connection to KarmAs for Him . It is natural , intrinsic . This way ,
       our Lord as Para Devathai differs from SaadhaaraNa dEvathais , who have finite
       spans of life as UddhEsyars and Seshis for the Havis offered to them .
 
(3)   yEka sEshithva yOgam : having the same priveleges to recieve the visEsha Havis
        in Aathma Yaagam .
 
(4)    Pathyu: Tava cha MahimA nigamai: nithyam anvishyamANa: The Mahimai  of
         Yours and Your husband's is being searched always  by the Vedams for proper
          sthOthram . They fail and keep searching to understand the dimensions of
          both of Your glories .
 
(5)     Nigamai: nithyam anvishyamANA: mahimA na: mAnasam nartayan
          avacchEdham na bhjathy : The glories of both of You that is being
          searched unsuccessfully by the VedAs puts us in a state of awe and
          reverence . The fact that both of Your mahimais are unlimited and
          therefore beyond analysis makes our minds dance with great joy .
