SrimathE RaamAnujAya nama: (158) yathra kvachiddh viharathOapi padhAravindham rakshyam mayA RaghupathErithi bhAvayanthyA nissEshamEva sahasA MaNipAdharakshE nishkaNDakam jagathidham vidhadhE bhavathyA Translation by Sri U. Ve Sri V.N.VedAntha Desikan Swamy : Oh PaadhukA ! Rightly did you decide that You decide that You should ever serve RamA's feet. For this , You made the whole world free of thorns (enemies) by Your mere will . Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): (1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Oh MaNi PaadhukE! You were determined to protect RaamA's lotus feet from thorns , wherever He went . Thinking in this manner, You made the whole world free of thorns , so He could roam freely without hardship , while You stayed without movement in AyOdhyA to help BharathA .Thorns here stand for all inauspicious happenings. Swamy Desikan says here that the PaadhukAs made the whole world free from all kinds of inauspiciousness , while it ruled AyOdhyA as RaamA's representative , just as they protected RaamA's feet from the stones and thorns of the forest . (2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam : The inner meaning is that SadAchAryAs generate bhakthi to PerumAL in all people. (3) KaNDakam means thorn .NishkaNDakam means free of thorn or inauspiciousness . The first mission of the Paadhukai is " RaghupadhE's padhAravindham mayA rakshyam " ( The Lord's lotus feet must be protected by me ). Thinking like that ( BhAvayanthyA ), Paadhukai of the Lord ended up accomplishing more than its primary duty(viz)., making the whole world free of auspiciousness .
