These pearls have, indeed, the capacity to double the brilliance of the Lord's foot-nails, thereby proclaiming the pre- eminence of yourself. The perennial effulgence of a moonlight affords solace to one like me, standing in perpetual fear about the last moment when the body falls. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S) SlOkam 652 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! The cool Moon rays emanating from Your pearls have lustre , which is twice as much as that of the lustre of Your Lord's toe nails . They are advertising the glories of Your Lord's fame. The permanent lustre of Your pearls remove the pitiable afflictions of creatures at the time of their death , when their limbs are weak and are unable to function. 2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:The toe nails of the Lord , which are already effulgent get many fold brightness from the reflections from the pearls adorning the Paadhukais. The radiance of the pearls is like the undecaying moon light. Oh PaadhukE! during my last moments , I will be incoherent. At that time , You should arrive with your radiant pearls and with the Lord on Your back to remove all my sorrows and fears . 3) The radiance of the pearls are described here as undecaying chandra jyOthi ( thE moukthikAnAm iyam chandrikA sAsvathI). Their radiance is celebrated and they double the kAnthi of the Lord's toe nails ( prakaDitha yasasAm dhviguNitha nakha chandra jyOthishAm thE moukthikAnAm sAsvathi iyam chandrikA). That extraordinary radiance of Your pearls should come to my side at the time of my departure from this earth and banish my sufferings ( KaraNavilaya vELA kAtarasya asya janthO: parithApam samayathu )...(V.S)
