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

(1) UttamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Clear-minded people 
( parisuddha Buddha dhiya:) understand exactly
the prabhAvam and the power of Lord Ramachandra 
PaadhukhAs . Indeed for fourteen years, they stood 
in place of Lord RamachandrA and conducted the affairs
of the State.Those who lived under that PaadhukhA 
rAjyam experienced their Prabhavam and the power 
directly. Srimath RaamAyanam describes the auspicious 
attributes of the Lord's PaadhukhAs often. At some places , 
Srimath RaamAyaNam describes the glories of the PadhukhAs
briefly and at other times in great length .

(2) Andavan anubhavam: Srimath RaamAyanam salutes 
the PrabhAvam of the Lord's Paadhukhais ( the BhakthALs
of the Lord) .Those of pure mind comprehend the glory of
the Paadhukais( Bhagavath BhakthALs ) readily , just as
seeing that glory with their own eyes.The grantham know as 
SamkshEpa (condensed) RaamAyaNam salutes the prabhAvam 
of the paadhukhais of Lord RaghunAthan briefly; Srimath
RaamAyanam of Sage ValmIki salutes their prabhAvam at great
length.The minds (dhiya:) of the majority of the people of
this world are not marked by purity (parisuddham).They can be
decribed as aparisuddha dhiya: Swami Desikan has stated that
one is blessed with parisuddha Buddhi through three blessings:
" Thirumuhap Paasuramum , SadhAchArya anugrahamum ,
sadhsampradhAyamum ". Thirumuhap Paasuram is ThiruvAimozhi ,
that arose from Swami NammAzhwAr . Through these three anugrahams ,
one develops naicchAnusandhAnam and sadhAchAram and becomes
blessed with parisuddha Buddhi and parama kshEmam.

(3) In this PaadhukhA prabhAva slOkam , Swami Desikan salutes
the Lord's Paadhukhais as " Raghupurandhara Paadha RakshAis"
( the Paadhukhais of the King of Raghuvamsam ).Swami Desikan's
chillarai rahasyam named SampradhAya Suddhi is a celebration
of "Parisuddha dhiya:". There Swami states that " adhyAthma sAsthra
artha visEsha nirNayam " ( the establishment of the true meanings
of the VedAntha Saasthram ) can be achieved only through AchArya 
anugraham (upadEsath Harim BuddhvA )and UpadEsam from 
the AchAryan alone. Otherwise , Swami states that artha 
nirNayam is "dhushkaram "( most difficult to accomplish). 
Swami Deikan goes further and points out that in the previous
yugams , sages like VaalmIki illustrated Sath-sampradhAyam and
in our Kali Yugam , it was left to NammAzhwAr through his 
ThiruvAimozhi to reinforce Sath-sampradhAyam . That is why 
his prabhAvam is saluted for his mahOpakAram as the SampradhAya-
pravarthakar .That is why Swami NammAzhwAr is fourth in
our AchArya paramparai just below PerumAL ,ThAyAr and 
VishvaksEnar . No other AzhwAr has been accorded this 
exalted sthAnam in our AchArya Pankthi (lineage). That indeed
is the glorious prabhAvam of SatAri(Swami NammAzhwAr, 
the Paadhukais of KasthUri Rangan ).
