which are worshipped by the Deva sthrees
with garlands adorned on their

growing ground for all types of wealth .
Even those , who bend before them with nama
ukthi become blessed ones and

Additional observations on
this slOkam ssages :
****************************************************************
Oh Periya PirAtti (MahA DEvi of
Kaanchipuram ) ! When the dEva sthrees
adorned with flower garlands on their
beautiful hair prostrate before Your
sacred feet , the flowers from those
garlands serve as pushpa varshams
for Your worship . That is like archanA
performed by them to Your sacred
feet .
Those sacred feet yields " Bhava
sAgara antha: avasAdham yEyushAm
abhayAya bhAthi " according to a passage
from Lakshmi Sahasram .
Your sacred feet , NaamAs and Your MangaLa
ThirumEni shine to remove
the fear of SamsAram . They destroy the light of amangaLams ( " aSubha
dheepthim hruth ) . With their golden
lustre , they steal the heart of
the worshippers ( SuvarNa nibhayA prabhayA
manOramam bhAthi) .
In Tamil , the power of those sacred feet
and Her NaamAs have been
described as : " MangaLangaL mangAmal manna
vaikkum " . You are
the " SrEya: Saadhana dEvathA " ( The
PumpradhAnEswari , who is
the UpAyam for SrEyas ). Your sacrd feet
are like the wish-granting
KaamsdhEnu . They chase away all samsAric
sorrows ( nirAkrutha
vyasanE Tava dhivya charaNAravindham ) .
The author of Lakshmi Sahasram reminds us
of the power of Her sacred
NaamAs . His comments apply to the power of
Her sacred Thiruvadi as well :
" Aamushmikam Saasvatham eihikam vaa kim
naama phalam ThvannAma
na dhatthE ? " ( What type of Phalan --
here on earth , at the other world or
any other Phalan--can they not give ?
).
