The Beautiful-Eyed.
svakshAya namah.
[ PLEASE ADD PRANAVAM BEFORE EACH NAAMA ]
The nAma can be understood by looking at the two parts which constitute the
word- su + akshah. SrI Samkara's vyAkhyAnam is su - sobhane
puNDarIkAbheakshiNi asya iti svakshah - He whose eyes resemble the lotuspetals.
SrI BhaTTar continues his anubhavam of seeing pirATTi and bhagavAn
together - his interpretation is that bhagavAn has these beautiful eyes which
are thoroughly proficient in the art of the enjoyment of the nectarine ocean
of Her beauty. We may recall that the hue of bhagavAn's kaDaik-kaN is
described as reddish, and pirATTi's eyes are dark-hued. The anubhavam of
this by our elders is that His kaDaik-kaN (corner of the eye) is reddish in
color because He is always looking at the beautiful reddish complexion of
pirATTi through His side glances, and Her eyes are dark because She is always
enjoying the beautiful dark complexion of bhagavAn. She is "nArINAmuttamA
vadhU" (SrI v. v. rAmAnujan). tiruppANAzhvAr describes the beauty of His
eyes - "kariya Agip puDai parandu miLirndu Sevvari ODiap-periavAya kaNgaL
ennaip pEdaimai SeidanavE".
SrI satyadevo vAsishTha gives the interpretation that bhagavAn is svakshah
because He views the whole universe seated in the Sun chariot, and He is the
eye of everything that exists.
