SUMMARY: The nails of the fingers of the legs of Lord Eshwara, which are reminiscent of half moon, pure and bright, are very similar to the Moon. In the guise of such nails, the Moon fell at the feet of Eshwara and said: “Oh Lord Mahadeva, please remove this stain of the deer that is stuck on me.” Lord Eshwara responded by removing that stain, took it in his hand and then wore the Moon on his head. Moreover, Lord Eshwara placed the Moon on his head, beside Ganga, to enhance his solemnity and sobriety.  Lord Eshwara appears to be pronouncing that the Moon is not ‘stained’ or is ‘without any stain’ by displaying the cobras in his matted hair. Thus, may this Mrutyunaja, Rudra and Chandrashekhara protect us.”

Sri Vadirajaru is assuring human beings with this stanza that Lord Rudra or Chandrashekhara always removes the sins and bestows blessings; Lord Rudra fulfills all desires of the devotees.

SUMMARY: In the head of Lord Rudra is the Teertha or the holy water that originated from the toe of Lord Hari; in the forehead of this Lord Rudra is the dust collected from under the feet of Lord Hari; in the ears of Lord Rudra the stories in praise of Lord Hari are always heard; in every word Lord Rudra spells is hidden the name of Lord Hari; and the heart of Lord Shiva is always adored with the pleasant forms of Lord Vishnu. In his belly, Lord Rudra always keeps the food offered first to Lord Vishnu; the waist of this Lord Rudra is uncovered to show that he is engaged in penance of Sri Vishnu; he sits on the skin of Tiger; his legs are always engaged in pilgrimage to the sacred shrines of Lord Vishnu and may this Shankara is always popular as the follower of Lord Vishnu.

Sri Vadirajaru has depicted Kashi and Lord Rudra there as Vaishnavite pilgrim centre and an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu, respectively. Therefore, Sri Vadirajaru has described each and every organ of Lord Rudra as carrying the symbols of Lord Vishnu. This view point has been explained in “Kashi Mahatme” or the “Significance of Kashi Kshetra”.

There are several instances in Bhagavata and other Puranas that testify the facts Sri Vadiraja has included in the above stanzas.
