MEANING:
Oh DhaivanAyakA! The Vedic scholars refer to Vedams pointing out that the
directions were born out of your ears (“Disa: srOthrAth”-- Purusha Sooktham).
Those sacred ears of yours persuade you to chase away the sorrows and
sufferings of the ChEthanams who cry out movingly about their plight in front
of you and you bless the chEthanams with auspiciousness based on the
influence that Your ears hold over You. You come to their (ChEthanam’s)
rescue. Thus your ears render great service to the suffering chEthanams.
ADDITIONAL
OBSERVATIONS:
Here, Swamy Desikan refers to the service rendered by one limb of the Lord
(i.e.), the ears. The laments by the people come from all directions. As
sensitive antenna assemblies, the ears pick up these moving cries of the
ChEthanams and bring them to the attention of their Lord and stimulate Him
to come to the help of these suffering chEthanams.
