mudhaladi refers to the Lord's divine feet.
 
Gauthama maharishi's wife was named Ahalya. Hearing about her great
beauty, Indra became enamored with her. When Gauthama maharishi went
to the river to take a bath, he took the rishi's form and approached
Ahalya; and she allowed herself to be used by him. Before Indra
could leave, Gauthama rishi came back and saw him. He cursed Indra
that he would lose his masculinity. He also cursed Ahalya "You will
become an atom within the ashes in the ashrama (some stories state
that she was cursed to be a stone) and perform penance for a
thousand years. At that time Sriman Narayana will be born as Sri
Rama and will be brought here by Vishvamitra. You will be released
by the touch of His divine feet and then can join me". Gauthama
rishi then left the place.
 
After a thousand years, Vishvamitra rishi took Rama to his place
for the protection of his yaga. After the completion of the yaga,
he took Rama to Mithila. On the way, he brought Him to Gauthama's
ashrama. By the touch of His feet, Ahalya's curse was removed and
she became pure. Gauthama rishi also came there at that time and
accepted her.
 
Thirukkolur Ammal is asking "Do I have the great fortune of gaining
the touch of the Lord's divine feet like Ahalya did?"
