OBSERVATIONS:<br />

PerumAL in KurEsar’s words is “Thunga MangaLa guNAspadhan” (the abode of<br />

superior and auspicious guNas that bless the bhakthAs with SrEyas and<br />

prEyas). That wondrous Lord in archA form at Dhivya desams with unmatched<br />

glories (“adhbhutham mahath aseema bhUmakam nisthulam kimchidh vasthu”)<br />

displays not only His own dhivya soundharyam but also adds beauty to the<br />

beautiful aabharanams used in adorning Him like the makara kuNdalams, golden<br />

sevvippoo in the form of woven Thaazhampoo leaves. Because of their<br />

association with His dhivya Mukham, these aabharaNams have attained a<br />

special status of auspiciousness (“thvadhgathataya subheebhUyam yaathA”).<br />

PerumAL’s ThirumEni is not created by anyone (akruthathvatham). The<br />

aabharanams like the ear rings (karna kuNDalam), svarNa karNapooram and<br />

RathnAngi are made by BhakthAs with great devotion with His anugraham and<br />

thus are “kruthathvatham”". When the akruthathvatham joins with the<br />

kruthathvatham, the combined effect is multifold and indescribable. That is<br />

why we present Aabharanams to perumAL following the sacred steps of our<br />

AchAryaas. Swamy Desikan acknowledges in this slOkam that the combination<br />

of the two (the limbs with the natural beauty of its own constituting the face<br />

of the Lord and the aabharaNams associated with them) serves as an<br />

aabharanam of a unique kind for his mind (madeeyam svAntham vibhUshayathi).<br />
