In the most beautiful 18 th slOkam set in Vasanthatilaka meter,<br />

Swamy Desikan reflects on the collective beauty of the<br />

Thirumukha MaNDalam of Lord DevanAthan and is overtaken by<br />

that unique soundharyam:<br />

MEANING:<br />

Oh the Lord of DevAs (Deva pathE)! When adiyEn takes in the integrated<br />

beauty of your most beautiful face and reflect on it at the times when I am<br />

not in front of You, my mind is filled with the flood of that nectarine beauty.<br />

That asAdhaarana soundharyam of your face decorates adiyEn’s mind<br />

(kAntham tE mukham madeeyam svAntham vibhUshayathi).<br />

What aspects do I visualize regarding your beauty-laden face? Five<br />

constituents contributing to that extraordinary beauty of your face stand out.<br />

Three of them -- BimbAdharam, Vikasa Pankaja lOchanam, lamba aLakam -- are<br />

part of your own dhivya ThirumEni. The remaining two are aabharaNams<br />

presented to You by Your bhakthAs, which add to the natural beauty of Your<br />

limbs: (1) LaLitha KuNDalams (2) Kanaka Kaithaka karNapooram.<br />
