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 />
