ksheerabdi kanyakaku...neerajanam

This is the popular mangalam song to Lakshmi/ Alarmela manga. Alarmela manga literally translates to "the mother of the lotus". Mangalam/ neerajanam is an auspicious light (oil/camphor based) to remove any bad omen. Usually, the light is rotated around the face by women singing songs describing the occasion or the person to whose face this is being done! This is one such song describing Lakshmi devi  as Annamayya sees in the idol.There are not many difficult meanings to be understood and so I do not have the usual discussion section for each stanza in this keerthana.
This krithi is purely a description of the sculpture of Lakshmi. If one looks at Lakshmi's idol, the first things that one notices are the face, the bosom, then the hands and legs, then the hips, navel and the sitting posture. It is very easy for people to misunderstand given that  in present times, it is derogatory to describe a women's detailed structure/parts in India. This piece is thus a revelation of the prevalent appreciation of art during Annamyya's times. The art was received as it is and was appreciated as it was/as one sees; no misinterpretation,  no veiling it under the name of culture/whatever (pervertness)! Not sure if most of the renditions of the song delibrately cut down the lines that describe the navel, hips and loin of Lakshmi or just an attempt to minimise the length of the song as is the case in most other songs.

For the full song rendition  by Garimella Balakrishna Prasad please click here.  The songs by MS Subbalakshmi and  Priya sisters miss the two stanzas that I mentioned before.

Discussion:
Any help regarding  finding the contextual meaning of " sakhiyarambhorulaku" would be appreciated. I finally found the right meaning of"sakhiyarambhorulaku". Annamayya uses plant based analogies in this line here, referring to the toes as sprouts or tender leaves and comparing Lakshmi's excellence to plantain tree. Every part ( leaves, flower, fruit )of plantain tree is useful and so referred with reverence.
