NOTES BY V.SADAGOPAN(V.S):
***************************

(1)Oh Ranganatha"s holy PaahdhukhE ! Those who wear
You even once on their heads , they attain immeasurable 
riches even when they have lives on earth like poor
KuchElan ; he gave a handful of pounded rice to his
classmate and childhood friend , Sri KrishNan . KuchElan
did not ask specifically for any riches , but was blessed
with riches beyond his dreams . Oh PaadhukhE ! Those who
worship You attain extraodinary riches on this earth
by placing You ontheir heads even once intheir lives .

(2) Srimadh Andavan anubhavam : Oh protector of Lord
RanganAthA's holy feet! Those who wear You even once 
thinking of Bhaktha KuchElA would have indescribable 
wealth in their homes during their lives on this earth .
The inner meaning is that those who seek the sacred 
feet of SadAchAryAs will be blessed with worldly 
wealth without any specific effort on their part .

(3) The poetic power of Swami Desikan is in
abdundant display here. He refers here to those who
seek succor at the feet of AchAryAs as " antha:
vinihitha: KuchEla vyathikarA:". These are the 
PaadhukhA sevakAs , who cherish the memory of 
KuchElA deep in their minds .Swami Desikan
describes the richness showered on these 
blessed souls in lofty poetic style and
equates their status to that of KuchElA ..V.S

Swami Desikan ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam ,
