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

(1) UtthamUr's Swamy anubhavam: Oh PaadhukhE ! The limbs 
other than the feet of the Lord are occupied by MahA Lakshmi,
Brahmaa , Sivan and others . The glorious feet of the Lord 
is however uniquely occupied by You for His protection .
Through securing You for its protection , the lotus feet of
the Lord has gained a higher status and has become our protector .
That is why , we choose the Lord's feet as our saviour. It is 
because of Your assoication and protection .

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: In the thirumEni of the Lord, 
there are different inhabitants. MahA Lakshmi resides on His
chest;at the navel is Brahmaa ; on the right side is Lord Sivan.
You (PaadhukhA/AzhwAr ) are at His lotus feet . Every one 
mediates ony the place (Thiruvadi) , where You are . The inner 
meaning is that every one celebrates the lotus feet of the Lord ,
since NammAzhwAr ( satAri) eulogized those lotus feet . 

(3)Swami Desikan explains why the lotus feet of the Lord 
becomes the object of our AarAdhanam . He points out 
the reason : " MurArE: padham thvAm adhigamya na: 
adhidhaivatham jaatham " (Oh PaadhukhE ! Our Lord's feet 
obtained Your sambhandham and thereby qualified to
become the object of our AarAdhAnam ).....V.S
