SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest Srivaishnavas, After having enjoyed the overall beauty of the divine face of the Lord, Alavandhaar now enjoys the individual parts in thirumukham. prabuddha mugdhaambhuja chaaru lOchanam savibhrama bhroolatham ujjvaadharam suchismitham kOmaLa gaNdam unnasam lalaata paryantha vilambhi thaalakam The just bloomed ? fresh- red lotus flower like most beautiful divine eyes [Black, well laid out- large, wide opened eyes]; most graceful creeper like dark eye brows; glistening, shining most beautiful lips; gracious pleasing ever granting smile; soft tender cheeks; prominent aquiline nose; the curl black tresses fall at the corner of that charming forehead? Creeper like eye brow meaning straight (long) which is also vibhrama ? means: curved; Ujjvala- the smiling face get accentuated by the glistening lips; In the last verse the manes hang below the ears and around the neck; Here, the front black tresses fall at the corner of forehead most beautifully. The enjoyment of the Thirumuka Mandalam of the Lord reminds us of PeriyAzhwAr's anubhavam of that radiant, round face , which is like the full moon (SuRRum oLivattam sUzhndhu sOthi parantha). The integrated beauty of the organs in the face of the Lord reminds also of ParAnkusa Naayaki's anubhavam of the incomparable beauty of the face of the Lord [TVM 7.7.8] Naayaki is very much affected by the power of the beauty of the Lord's face. According to her, the eyes have the radiant lustre of a full blown lotus flower; The nose is like an exquisitely tender creeper ; the lips are like coral stems ; the eye brows are like a bent bow; the rows of teeth are like the two rows of dazzlingly white pearls; the two ears are like two more tender creepers; the forehead has the shape and beauty of ashtami chandran. The beauty of the face of the Lord is multiplied by the individual beauty of each of the contributing parts. Naayaki cries out loud that the integrated beauty of the Lord's face is driving her mad. Similar to ThirupPANAzhwAr's apperiya vaaya kaNgaL ennai pEdhamai seydhanavE.. (Those large long, well laid-out eyes have stupefied me) Alavandhar must be having the same feeling in his heart.
