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 />
