We pray to the Paaduka, closely set and perfect in form; which bears
the pleasing nectar drops from Siva's moon and the pollen dust from
the flowers on the heads of deva and asura chiefs, when they bend
their heads closely to the Paaduka; which is to be regarded as the
embodiment, in solid form, of the Divine Sport of the Lord
Ranganatha, intimately interested in the role (entrusted to it),
regarding creation-protection-termination duties, as well as
benediction-punishment acts, in respect of all creatures bordered by
Brahma at top end and a worm at the bottom end.
Namo Narayana,

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S ):
SlOkam 908
1. UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: The nectar flows from the crescent
Moon on MahEswara"s head. The stamens (Makarandham) from the flowers
of the garlands decorating the heads of the DevAs fall in that nectar
resting on top of the Paadhukais and cause the formation of a
fragrant paste.When those PaadhukAs start their movement with their
Lord , they take excellent care of all the affairs of the sentients
and insentients (their birth, protection, punishment for
transgressions , anugrahams and their dissolution ). The PaadhukAs
become the representative of the Lord in performing these deeds
celebrated by the VedAs.
2. SrIMath Andavan anubhavam : The emphasis in this slOkam is that
the Paadhukais are the embodiment of the Sankalpa Sakthi of the Lord .
Through PaadhukA sambhandham , the sentients including the DevAs
gain the four kinds of PurushArTams. The inner meaning is that
SadAchArya Sambhandham saves the Bhaddha Jeevans from the cycles of
endless births and deaths.
3.First Swamy Desikan offers His prayers to the Paadhukais, which
has on top the suspension/mud formed bt the union of the nectar from
the crescent Moon adorning the head of the prostrating MahEswaran and
the pollens from the garlands adorning the heads of DevAs bent before
them . This flood of nectar from the crescent Moon mingles with the
copious pollen dust to form the mud like fragrant suspension on the
surface of the Paadhukais (chandra peedA sikhaNDa chandra sikhara
chyOtath sudhaa--nirjara sthOkam + SurEndra sEkhara raja: sthyAnAm
PaadhukA ). The nectar is intermingled (aaslishtam) with the pollen
dust and Swamy Desikan offers His salutations to the Paadhukais
displaying such a svaroopam . He recognizes those PaadhukAs as SrI
RanganAthA's Leela Sankalpa Roopam ( manifestation of the Sankalpa
Sakthi ) to bless those dear to Him ( PraNayinee RangiNa: Saa kriyA
sakthi). That Sankalpa Sakthi the birth ( Sarga), staying for a while
after srushti (sTithi), giving anugraham for the good karmAs
(anugraha Sakthi), punishment acording to the dhushkarmAs ( nigraha
sakthi) , for all kinds of Jeevans ( Vividha KshEthraJ~na: )
from a blade of grass to the mighty BrahmA...(V.S).
