When a person considers his most beloved as very precious, he calls that person as the apple of his eye. vArdhi kanye! Daughter of the Ocean! Lord Hari not only considers You as the apple of His eye, but also really supports You in His eye. He is said to be lotus eyed and You reside on the lotus.

Comments:

EmperumAn is called PuNDarIkAkshan, aravindalocanan. PirAtti is called PadmAlayA, KamalavAsini. When emperumAn is said to be lotus eyed, it means both His eyes resemble the lotus and that He has the lotus for His eye. The poet has played with the word lotus-eyed by saying that He has the lotus on which PirAtti resides as His eye (tava priya: tvAm yuktam druSi bibharti).

sarve kincit kurvata: svAnukUlAn
samrakshanta: prekshitA: sindhukanye |

Meaning:

sindhu kanye! Even those who have helping nature will only help those who are their friends. You on the contrary save people like us who do not even know how to worship with anajali mudra- with folded palms (anjalyajn~An) and who have accumulated loads of sin (Arjitaga:prapancAn). It is indeed marvelous!

Comments:

It is a natural tendency to help those who listen to us and are helpful to us. One does not help those who oppose him or who do not follow his instructions. EmperumAn has stipulated what we should do and what we should avoid. However, we do not obey His command and not only that we do not respect Him also. PirAtti shows us Her greatness by rescuing even such souls who have done nothing to deserve Her mercy.

Meaning:

Devi! We have seen many mere mortals play the flute well and so it is no wonder that Lord KrshNA played the flute so mellifluously. You on the other hand make us dumb people sing wonderful songs effortlessly. This is great!

Comments:

PirAtti plays us like a flute and creates beautiful music through us. We do not have the capacity to find the correct words, avoid mistakes and introduce interesting concepts ourselves.

mAdrksha rakshaNa krte makarAnkamAta:
bAhAntare karuNayA bhavatI nivishTA |
arcAtmanA dhruvam avasthitam anjanAdrau
viSvambharam vibhavakAryakaram karoti ||

Meaning:

Mother of ManmathA! To save people like me You stay on the chest of Lord SrInivAsa who resides on the anjanAdri hills in the arca form and out of Your mercy You make Him the one who supports the Universe perform actions in the Vibhava form (viSvambharam vibhavakAryakaram karoti).

Comments:

EmperumAn stays in the divya mangaLa mUla bhera vigraha form in the divya desams (arcAtmanA dhruvam avasthitam). In the arcA form His primary functions are accepting the offerings of devotees and grant them His grace. In the Vibhava form, He incarnates as Rama or KrshNa and destroys enemies and protects sAdhus. TiruvEnkaDamuDaiyAn performs both these functions in the arcA form. The poet says that it is PirAtti who makes Him perform these actions.

The term “vibhava kAryam” also means wealth, aiSvaryam. EmperumAn attracts millions of people to His temple and the temple coffers are eternally full. The poet implies that this is also due to PirAtti’s kaTAksham.

bhavam means samsAram. Vibhavam means removal of samsAram. TiruvEnkaDamudaiyan turns deserving jivas into muktAs and grants them moksham. Thus He becomes the upAyam and upeyam for moksha prApti. This action does not happen without PirAtti’s help.

bhavan refers to Siva. Bhava kAryam relates to Siva pUja kAryam. Some saivites long time back thought that the Lord on TirumalA as Siva and tried to perform worship appropriate for Siva. PirAtti unequivocally established through Her presence on the vaksha:sthalam of TiruvenkaDamudaiyAn that it is Sriman nArAyaNan, Her Lord that is residing at TirumalA in arcA form. Thus she converted bhava kAryam into vibhava kAryam.

Lakshmi stays only with those who are active and work hard. Only such people become rich. So one wonders how She stays with SrinivAsA in the arca form that is immobile. The poet gives an interesting interpretation by saying that She turns one who is immobile (arca) in to mobile (vibhava).

The word kAryakaran means worker. Lakshmi turns viSvambharan into her kAryakaran for Her vibhavam.
