|പല്ലവി|

കനകമയം ആയീടും കമലവാഹനം അതിൽ മേൽ

കനത്തൊരു കാന്തിയോടു ഗമിക്കുന്ന താരവനോ?

|ചരണം-1|

വലമഥനൻ വിഭവമോടെ വസുധയിൽ സഞ്ചരിച്ചിടുന്നോ ?

വലമഥനൻ എങ്കിലെങ്ങു വിലസും നേത്ര സഹസ്രം

|ചരണം-2|

കളഭഗതേ കുളിർമതിയോ കനിവോടേ വിലസുന്നൂ ?

കുളിർമതി എന്ന ആക്കിനുള്ളിൽ കുളവാകും  ആംങ്കമെങ്ങു?

|ചരണം-3|

ഗൗരീ നായക ആകും കൈലാസാധീ ഈശ്വരനോ?

ഗൗരീ നായകൻ എങ്കിൽ  കമനി മൂന്നാം നേതമെങ്ങൂ?

|ചരണം-4|

അതിമഹാസാ വിലസീടും കതിരോനോ വദ ബാലേ?

കതിരോനെന്നാകിലവൻ  കഥമേവം ശാന്തനാവൂ?

|ചരണം-5|

താരീ തേന്മൊഴി ബാലേ ധനപതി എന്നാകിലവൻ

ഭൂരിവിരൂപാംഗനതോ നീരജ നാഭൻ നൂനം

|ചരണം-6|

കനകമയം ആയീടും കമലവാഹനം അതിൽ മേൽ

കനത്തൊരു കാന്തിയോടു ഗമിക്കുന്ന നീരജ നാഭൻ

ഗമിക്കുന്ന നീരജ നാഭൻ ...

Summary :       This composition is written in a poetic style known as Samvada Kavya (dialogue poetry) or Akshepalamkara (figure of speech based on objection/denial). It features a delightful debate where a speaker tries to guess the identity of a magnificent divine entity descending to earth, while a wise companion playfully rejects each guess by pointing out missing attributes, finally revealing the true identity in the end.

Pallavi: The Grand Opening Question - The Mystery: "Who is this divine being moving with such an intense, heavy brilliance atop a golden, lotus-like vehicle (Kamalavaahanam)? Could it be a celestial lord or king of the stars (Thaaravan) descending to earth?"

Charanam 1: Is it Indra? - Guess: "Is that Valamathanan (Lord Indra, the conqueror of the demon Vala) journeying across our earthly realm in absolute glory?"

Counter: "If it were truly Indra, where are his signature one thousand eyes (Nethra Sahasram) that should be glittering across his form?"

Charanam 2: Is it the Moon? Guess: "Oh maiden who walks with the graceful, slow gait of a young elephant (Kalabhagate), is that the gentle moon (Kulirmathi) gracing us with its kind glow?"

Counter: "If it were the moon, where is that familiar dark, rabbit-shaped spot (Aangam) nestled inside its core?"

Charanam 3: Is it Lord Shiva? Guess: "Could this majestic traveler be the Lord of Kailasa, the consort of Goddess Gauri (Gauri Naayaka)?"

Counter: "If it were Gauri's lord, my beautiful one (Kamani), where is his unmistakable third eye (Moonnaam Nethram) on his brow?"

Charanam 4: Is it the Sun? Guess: "Tell me, young girl (Vadha Baale), is this the sun god (Kathiron) blazing with such magnificent power?"

Counter: "If it were the sun, how could his presence be this remarkably serene, cool, and peaceful (Shanthanaavoo)?"

Charanam 5: Is it Kubera? Guess: "Oh girl whose sweet voice flows like honey, is it Dhanapathi (Kubera, the lord of wealth)?"

Counter: "No, Kubera is heavily misshapen and deformed (Bhoorivirupaangan). This entity is flawlessly beautiful; he must certainly be Neeraja Naabhan (the lotus-naveled Lord Vishnu)."

Charanam 6: The Final Revelation - Conclusion: The playful doubt vanishes into pure celebration. Moving with a profound, dense, and breathtaking aura atop his golden, lotus-like mount, it is indeed none other than Lord Neeraja Naabhan (Maha Vishnu / Lord Padmanabha).
