मालालीवालिधाम्नः कुवलयकलिता श्रीपतेः कुन्तलाली
कालिन्यारुह्य मूर्ध्नो गलति हरशिरः स्वर्धुनीस्पर्धया नु ।
Sloka 27: The Lord is declared by the Agamas
to be pure white and that colour is the most appro-
priate, He being wholly Satva in His essence. He
appears as dark-blue on account of the thick colour
of the waters of compassion flowing profusely
from His heart. Does not the white cloud appear
dark when charged with water? The commentary
informs us that the daily quoted Dhayna Sloka
शुढाम्बरघरं विष्णुं शशिवर्णं चतुर्भुजम् is taken from &
dialogue between Isvara and Raghava.
After the 34th sloka, the commentary analyses
the previous Slokas and gives their total number
as 35. The 35th sloka found in the edition of the
text but for which the author's commentary is
not available appears to be genuine.
Slok& 36: The poet's expert knowledge of
Jaimini's Sutras is here and there put to fine and
humorous uses.
Sloka 37: The poet here voices the Vaishnava
doctrine of Saranagati.
धन्याः प्रपद्य सकृदीश भवन्ति मुक्ताः ।
