NOTES BY V.SADAGOPAN (V.S):
****************************
(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam:Oh Sri RanganAtha
PaadhukhEs ! Your act of uniting us with no knowledge of
VedhAs with the lotus feet of the ord served by
MahA Lakshmi would help us appreciate your incomparable
skills in bringing together the irreconcilable primciples.
The holy feet of Your Lord is much beyond our dreams to reach .
It is only your unique skills and powers that can unite
us , the unsophisticated, with your Lord's sacrd paadha Kamalams.
(2) Srimadh Andavan's anubhavam : Oh PaadhukhE ! Sri Devi
has the rught to touch Her Lord's sacred feet. AdiyEn can
not even think of sambhandham with those hly feet due
to my unfitness in every way. Thou with your powers of
uniting the irreconcilables should unite adiyEn with
your Lord's paadha Kamalams .The inner meaning of
this slOkam is that SadAchArya KatAksham will unite one
with the Lord inspite of his or her deficencies.
(3) Swami Desikan , who is revered as NigamAntha
MahA Desikan and VedAntha Desikan here describes
himself with great humility and Naicchiyam as a member
of the group of those , who have no knowledge
of the VedhAs ( avidhitha nigamAnAm asmAdhrusAnAm).
Swami Desikan is overwhelmed by the power of
the agditha-gadanA sakthi of Paadhukhai derived
from the Lord's own power to reconcile the polar
opposites ("mutualy non-coexistables") described in
Swami NammAzhwAr's ThiruvAimozhi paasurams (TVM:6.3)
on ThiruviNNagarappan ....V.S
