Oh Paaduka! I regard You as a Jivatma 'created' in this world as an 
example of servile a soul ought to be, with respect to the Lord; this 
creation may be said to be by Adisesha himself, (who is the finest 
example of Seshatva) or by the Lord Himself.

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):

This Paddhathi has ten slOkams . After description of the gems
of PaadhukAs and its golden form in the previous Paddhathi,
Swamy Desikan turns his attention to the indwelling power of
the Padhukais. In this section, known as Sesha Paddhathi,
Swamy states that the empowering force of PaadhukAs is none
other than AdhisEshA . He points out that AdhisEshA ,
who serves as the bed of the Lord in the milky ocean
has become the PadhukAs to serve his Lord on His earth
BhUlOka Vaikuntam).

Many bhakthAs seeking progeny are told that they have
Sarpa DhOsham and are asked by the astrologers to have
prathishtai of Naaga statue or go to KaaLahasthi
to perform a homam . adiyEn thinks that SrI VaishNavAs
can do instead any one of the following things to be blessed
with SanthAna PrApthi at the right stage in their lives:
(1) Go to one's AchAryan and pray to Him for Phala ManthrAkshathai
for SanthAna PrApthi after performing Sethu SnAnam
(2) Go to SrI RanganAthA's Sannidhi or Swamy Desikan's Sannidhi
adjacent ot SrI RanganAyaki's sannidhi at SrIrangam and recite
the 10 slOkams of Sesha Paddhathi for a MaNDalam and recieve
Periya perumAL's and ThAyAr's SaThAri, Theertham every day
with one's wife.

A similar PaarAyaNam can also be done before Lord DevanAthan
at the dhivya desam of ThiruvahIndhrapuram or before Swamy Desikan's
sannidhi there . Lord DevanAthan chose the name of ThiruvahIndhrapuram
(AdhisEshapuram ) for His dhivya desam in recognition of
the great Kaimkaryam done by AdhisEshan here for Him .

Similarly for Navagraha dhOsham , there is
no need for SrI VaishNavALs to do Navagraha Saanthi Homams .
Recitation of the 749th SlOkam of SrI RanganAtha PaadhukA
Sahasram daily would ward off the Nava graha DhOsham :

NaaL yenna seyyum kOL yenna seyyum
Yennappan ThALL paRRinARkku

(meaning): What troubles can the nakashathrams , Thithis and
Grahams cause for one, who attaches Himself firmly & solely
to the Feet of the Lord and the SaThAri there ?

SlOkam 751

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PadhukE! AdhisEshA thought that
he should protect the Lord 's feet on earth and incarnated
as Your indweller. I celebrate You , who remind me of the concept
of SeshA and Seshin to depict the relationship between Self (Jeevan)
and the Lord (Iswaran). ( Lord creates Jeevans and wants them
as His Seshans and for that purpose removes their PuNyams and Paapams.
He is the Sarva Seshin for all sentient and insentient beings
created by Him).

2)SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Here , Swamy Desikan describes
that PaadhukA is AadhisEsha avathAram. AdhisEshan is present
in the PaadhukA Roopam.

3)Oh PaadhukE! You are created in Bhoo lOkam as PaadhukA by
AdhisEshan ( AnanthEna nithyam sEsha-samAdhinaa BhUmou srushtAm).

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)

SlOkam 752

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! MahA Lakshmi
gets a great pleasure by pressing Her Lord's feet and enjoys
the contact of a small portion of her Lord's body during that
Kaimkaryam. AdhisEshA wants to derive a greater pleasure than
MahA Lakshmi and takes Your form to enjoy those sacred feet
of the Lord during every moment of His travel with You(Paadhukais).

2)SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Swamy AlavanthAr reveals that
AdhisEshan wanted to gain the bhOgam superior to that
experienced by MahA Lakshmi by pressing Lord's sacred feet.
Therefore , Adhiseshan took the form of Paadhukais so that
the Lord's entire feet can have contact with him.The inner
meaning is that AzhwArs and AchAryAs experience sukham
that is more than that experienced by MahA Lakshmi Herself.

3)Swamy AlavanthAr has already attested to AdhisEshan
taking the form of PaadhukAs to serve the Lord through his
SthOthra Rathna slOkam :

nivAsa SayyA Aaasana paadhuka
upadhAna varshAt-apavAraNAdhibhi:
sarIra bhEdhais-tava sEshathAM gathai:
yaTOchitham Sesha ithIrithE janai:

AdhIsEshan serves as the abode (nivAsam) for the Lord;
His bed, Umbrella and PaadhukA as His ancient SEshan
(Aadhi Seshan).

AaLavanthAr is the loftiest among AchAryAs( AchAryANAm
agranee: YaamunEya:). He described that AdhisEshan took
the avathAram of PaadhukAs ( Seshasya yEkAm bhUmikAm
aBhraveeth). Why did AdhisEsha transform himself in to
PaadhukAs? He did so according to Swamy AlavanthAr for
reasons of enjoying a higher order of Sukham than that
enjoyed by MahA Lakshmi( Padhmaa BhOgAth anyam bhOgam
prapithsO:) . She only presses the soft feet of
Her Lord , where as AdhisEshan wants to be pressed by
the entire feet of His Lord...(V.S).

Oh Mother Paaduka! Adisesha (notwithstanding his services such as 
being the couch) reaches the pinnacle of Seshatva (the acme of 
servitude) only on taking Your form. And those who bend and receive 
You on their heads attain the very extreme previlege of Seshatva-by 
Your grace!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):

SlOkam 753

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Mother ! Oh Keasava
PaadhukE! The king of serpents , AdhisEsha attained
the form of the Paadhukais of the Lord and gained
the supreme status of Seshathvam thereby. Others could not
come near that exalted status through their services to
Your Lord. That is why every one wears AdhisEshA in the form of
PadhukhA on their foreheads. Through this supreme service to
the Lord , AdhisEshA attained not only the Supreme rank as
SeshA to the Lord (Seshin) but also confers on others
such a status and gives them Seshathvam.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PadhukE! AdhisEshan
carries the entire weight of the Lord on his back.
He attains thus a status of sEshathvam to the Lord.
Those who carry PaadhukA Roopa AdhisEshan on their
heads with devotion attain even greater status as
SeshAs and display a superior level of Seshathvam.
The Kaimkaryam done to AzhwAr-AchArya and the Lord's
BhaagavathAs is superior than even that performed
for the Lord Himself.

3)Oh Kesava PaadharakshE! The king of serpents
attained Your roopam ( Bhujanga Raaja: Thvadh-bhUmikAm
samAdhigamya ) and gained a superior state of service/
liegehood to Your Lord ( prakAmam sEshathvam samsrayathi).
The devotees with heads bent with devotion for you adorn
You on their heads ( Bhakthi-vinathai: sirobhi: ThvAmEva
vahathAm )gain a status that is far superior in service to
Your Lord ( ThvAmEva vahathAm tath sEshathvam kAshtAm
gatham)..(V.S).

Oh Manipaaduka! You perhaps thought: "This earth need not bear this 
strain of holding the Paaduka, along with the World-Bearer, namely, 
the Lord, in this manner for all time" and took another form, namely, 
of Adisesha to remain in the nether world to uphold the Earth!
(For this second Adisesha form Bala or might is the forte)

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):

SlOkam 754

1) Oh MaNi PaadhukE! Thinking that You should give relief to
the stress of Mother Earth , who bears the weight of Lord ,
You have taken the form of PaathaaLa sEshan (AdhisEsha
of the lower world) to bear Mother Earth. ( Swamy Desikan suggests
that AdhisEsha takes the form of PaathALa sEshan to relieve
somewhat the burden of Bhumi Devi , who bears the weight of
the Lord standing on the PaadhukAs.

2)SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:The inner meaning is that
the DayA of AzhwAr and AchAryAs are limitless. They work
in many ways to save the jeevan afflicted by samsAric distress.
Propelled by their DayA , they comfort the jeevans in many special
ways . When they give upadEsams to the foolish beings , thay
do not address them as fools lest they will be hurt by
such a remark and sorrow over their foolish nature.Swamy
NammAzhwAr for instance address them as "Vammeen Pulaveer ".
He invites them as " Oh VidhvAns ! Please come near ".

3)Oh PadhukE! in the form of AdhisEshA , You carry the Lord,
who carries all the universe( Visvarambhasya vahanAth).
You are carried by BhUmi Devi. You worry about the troubles
caused to BhUmi DEvi through this extraordinary effort 
(Visvambharasya vahanAth vyaTithA maabhUth )and You carry her in 
PaathALa lOkam on Your head as PaathalA
AdhisEshan (Thvam Bala abhyadhikayA nijayA moorthyaiva

Special Notes by V. Sadagopan:

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: In the previous verse ,
Swamy Desikan pointed out that PaathALa sEshan chose
His strength over intellect (Jn~Anam ) to render
service to BhUmi DEvi (Mother Earth ) in carrying the
load of the Lord's weight. Here, he continues with that
thought. He says: " PaathaLa seshan and PadhukAs have
equal strength . Raamachandra of unfailing words knew
very well of that strength of the PaadhukAs and ordered
them to bear the unbearable burden of Raajya Lakshmi
during His absence from the kingdom of AyOdhyA.  
 
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! Are You
the incarnation of AdhisEshan Or AdhisEshan Your
incarnation ? I have a doubt as to who is superior to
whom between the two of You .Oh PaadhukE ! For some
reasons,  it appears to me that You are  superior. One
of the key reasons is that Lord Ramachandra picked You
at the time of His departure to the forest as His
representative to rule the kingdom . He could have
picked AdhisEshan instead, but He did not do so. The
implication is that AzhwAr is superior to the
Nithyasooris like AdhisEshan.
 
3) AdhisEshan is renowned for his strength ( Yesha
Sesha: nijabalEna nirooDa keerthi) . He is a sort of
avathAram of Yours (Yesha sEsha: Tava pariNAma visEsha
yEva). The Lord , who is true in His words (Sathya
vachas Raama:) decided however that You are the One to
bear the burden of handling the awesome responsibilites
of protecting the kingdom during  His absence form the
Kingdom ( ananya vAhyam Vasumatheem vODum bhavathee

Oh Manipaaduka! The Lord is reclining on Adisesha, who is another 
form of Yours (designed for the Lord's service). You are then out of 
the Feet; You appear like reclining on His Feet. The Vedas 
incidentally, Your-children-like, are resting by Your side. You, as a 
chaste wife would do, do not leave the Feet even when there is no 
active service possibility.

Special Note by V.Sadagopan (V.S):

SlOkam 756

1) UtthamUr Swamy : Oh Mani PaadhukE! Even when Your Lord sleeps
and You are physically separated from Him , You are at the foot of
His bed and do not lose Your seshathvam (Service as devoted servant).
This is understood well by the vedAs and AagamAs. They consider
themselves as the young children of Yours as You rest at the foot of
the Lord's bed as the chaste wife waiting to serve Her Lord.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that
the true meanings of the VedAs would not have come out if
Swamy NammAzhwAr did not bless us with His prabhandhams.
Just as a chaste woman protects her children through Her
Paathivratyam , AzhwAr (SaThAri) recieves His strength from
the Lord as Sarva Seshin .

3)PerumAL is resting on Your other Roopam, AdhisEshan
( Parasya Pumsa: Thvadhroopa BhEdha: sayitha:). You are
resting at His footstep ( Parasya Pumsa: updhAna sayithA)
waiitng to serve Him, Your Lord.The VedAs are at Your feet
and are like the helpless babies protected by the power of
Your Chastity ( ThvAm BaalaputhrA: kulavadhUmiva

Oh Paaduka! When You were seated on the head of Bharata, Lakshmana on 
approaching (while returning from the forest), paid obeisance to You 
even from a distance onwards, even though he was a Sesha (and an 
avatara of Sesha), whose another incarnation is Yourself. This is 
nothing strange: Lord Ranganatha, in His incarnation as Rama, 
performed respectful services to Himself!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):

SlOakam 757

1)UtthamUr Swamy:Oh PadhukE! When You returned from the forest to
NandhigrAmam , You were worn by BharathA on his head to unite You with
Your Lord. LakshmaNa , who is Your other form tenderly bowed to You
even from distance. Was n't that strange that LakshmaNa
(AdhisEshAvathAran) offered salutations to himself ( AdhisEshan
incarnated as PaadhukA) then ? It really is not that strange.
Did n't Raamachandra , who is none other than Lord RanganAtha
worship latter as the titular deity of the family of Raghus?
When the elder brother Himself worshipped Himself in AyOdhyA,
it is not surprising that the younger brother Lakshmana saluted
his other form , the PadhukA at Nandigram.

2)SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that
when PerumAL and Nithyasooris incarnate in this world,
they perform duties prescribed by SaasthrAs just like
any other humans and reject those that are not recomended
by the SaasthrAs to show the people of the world , the need for
being obedient to SaasthrAic dictates by every one.

3)Oh PaadhukE! When LakshmaNa saw from a distance the Paadhukais
being carried on top of BharathA's head , he bowed to them
( SeshabhUtha: Lakshmana: Bharatha sirasi lagnAm ThvAm
SVATANUMAPI dhUratha: vavandhE). There is nothing strange
in that ( iha idham kim vichithram?).The ever-so-careful
RaamachanadrA offered salutations to Himself(RanganAthA) ,
when He incarnated as Raamachandran , the son of King
Dasaratan( Nithya-yuktha: RanganATa: DasaraTatanayassann

1) UtthamUr Swamy: Oh PaadhukE! During the time of deluge,
out of Your Lord's volition, Brahma , Rudra and others disappear
like bubbles that burst. Another age of the world sets in. Even then ,
You (PaadhukA) do not disappear. Being a Nithya soori , You continue
to serve the Lord. You transfer from being a PaadhukA(AdhisEshA)
to a pupil leaf to serve as Your Lord's bed. Later, when the deluge
is over and the world is released from the stomach of the Lord,
You transform from that of a pupil leaf to that of a grear
Serpent king , AdhisEsha to serve Your Lord in many ways.

2)Oh PaadhukE! In the ocean of memory of the Lord ,
(sankalpa Sindhou) there is strong movement some times
and other times , it is quite still.In times of movement,
the created worlds including Brahma , Sivan disappear like
bursting bubbles (imE BrahmEsAna Prabhrudhaya: bhUyObhUya:

produces the entire world from BrahmA downwards.

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.sadagopan (V.S):

SlOkam 759

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh RanganAtha PaadhukE!
As the king of serpents(Aheendran ) You become the Soma Yaagam
recognized as Aheenam and protect the righteous. You also
become another Soma Yaagam known as Sattaram and help to
cross the dark night of nescience through the path of
another Soma Yaagam described as EkAham. You are worshipped
not only as the various YaagAs , but You transform Yourself
in to those YaagAs.; further , You also become the fruit of
those YaagAs. It is amazing how You perform so many diverse
roles.

The word aheenA has three meanings:(1) The King of serpents
(Aheendran) , (2) it is the name of a Soma Yaagam (3) it means
also blemishless. Swamy Desikan cleverly weaves the multiple
meanings of the word Aheena in this slOkam to relate AdhisEsha/
PaadhukA to the Soma YaagAs like EkAham ( JyOthishtOmam) , Aheenam
and Sattaram. Swamy states that the Paadhukais signify
the essence of the above three Soma YaagAs , which use the juice of
Soma creeper as Havis. A Soma Yaagam done for a day is known as
EkAham. When the Yaaga is extended from two to twelve days,
that Yaagam becomes Aheenam. When it goes beyond 12 days,
the same Soma Yaagam acquires the name of Sattaram. Swamy Desikan
states that the purpose of doing all these YaagAs is to obtain
the Lord's PaadhukAs for our worship to enable us toattain
Moksham ultimately.

2)SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! You are the incarnation
of AdhisEshA. You have the reputation of protecting all Saadhus.
You are the day for the night of the world , which is impervious
to auspicious matters. You remind them of these auspicious
matters .All the YaagAs are performed by people for pleasing
You.You are in the form of all Yag~nams .

3)Oh Lord RanganAthA's PaadhukE(RangakshithiramaNa PaadhAvani)!
You are of the form of AdhisEsha and form of Yaj~nam
known as Aheenam (aheenAthmA).You protect the learned ones
always and have the reputation of being of the form of
Sathra Yaagam ( SadhA sathAm ittham thrANAth praTitha
nija satthrathva vibhavA). For our dark KaaLa Raathri of
ajn~Anam , You are like the bright day ( na: avidhyA yAminyA:

yaagams( Thvam krathUnAm aarAdhyA). You take on the form
of all Yaagams ( Sarvakrathurapi cha asi)..(V.S).

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):

SlOkam 760

1)UtthamUr Swamy:Oh PaadhukE! Originating from AadhisEsha ,
You assume many roles and bless those , who worship You with
the boon of eternal service to Your Lord.

AdhisEshan is "Bahu Mukha BhOga SamEthan ". BhOgam means
the body of a serpent. AdhisEshan has 1,000 hoods and
hence it is appropriate to address him as Bahu Mukha BhOgan.
PaadhukA is also Bhau Mukha BhOgan. It accepts the many
offerings (BhOgAs) such as Sandal paste , flowers , Camphor
et al.Those who worship Padhukai/AdhisEshA get the blessings of
enjoying many earthly bhOgAs (pleasures). Both AdhisEshA and
PaadhukA are eternal servants of the Lord. Both AdhisEsha and
PaadhukA shed their skin ; they have a blemishless white body
(known as Suddha Satthvam or unalloyed purity). Those who
worship the PadhukAs shed their PaapAs and PuNyAs and reach
the state of Suddha sathvam .Thus, they all become Seshamayam or
servants of the Lord , the Sarva Seshin.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! As the incarnation of
AdhisEshan , You perform many kaimkaryams to Your Lord and all
the Bhagavath BhakthAs , PrapannAs , Muktha jeevans
and Nithya sooris celebrate You and bow before You.

3)Oh PaadhukE! You are the incarnation of AdhisEsha
( Thvam sEshAthmikA). You are united with many kinds
of auspicious bhOgams( Thvam Bahumukha bhOga samEthA).
You are worshipped by those who are freed of karmAs,
muktha JeevAs and the Nithya sooris( Thvam NirmukthathayA
visuddhim aapannai: sEshabhUthai: nishEvyasE)..(V.S).
