MEANING:<br />
Oh Lord DhaivanAyakA! On the Sukla ashtami days, the form of Chandra Kalai<br />
will be most beautiful to look at. The poets are fond of comparing the beautiful<br />
person’s forehead to that ashtami chandran. If it is so for human beings, it is<br />
easy to deduce how many more times beautiful would be for Your Forehead.<br />
Your forehead beats the beauty of Ashtami chandran by many levels and<br />
instructs us that Ashtami Chandran derives his own limited beauty from the<br />
richest source of soundharyam (viz), Your soundharyam-filled forehead. There<br />
is some thing else, when poets compare the beauty of Your forehead with<br />
ashtami chandran. In the case of Chandran, his optimal beauty does not last<br />
beyond the ashtami dinam. For you however, the beauty of your forehead is<br />
eternal. The power of your forehead is comprehended by the fact that it gave<br />
birth to the Trident-wielding Soola PaaNi from a small portion of a drop of<br />
sweat associated with Your forehead. Such is the soundharyam and power of<br />
Your incomparable forehead!<br />
