For You invested with the honour of presiding over the protection of all three worlds, the Lord's feet are verily a head-ornament, a crown so to say! Namo Narayana, Adiyen, SriMuralidhara Dasan NOTES BY V.SADAGOPAN(V.S) ************************* 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Gem-studded paadhukhE ! Since You protect the Lord's feet, which in turn protects the world, the Lord's feet appear more like the decorations for You .Thus , the Lord's feet beome classified in the category of adorning jewelery for You . 2) Srimadh Andavan anubhavam : PerumAL Thiruvadi is the Crown for the Paadhukhai . 3) Swami Desikan states that the Paadhukhai of Sri RanganAthA is the queen of the three worlds and the Lord's holy feet are the Crown for that queen .Swami gently reminds us that the crown is not worn by anyone except the most exalted . Swami classifies the Lord's sacred feet as "Parikarma kODilagnam " or of the category of jewelery .... V.S
