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.
