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

(1)UttamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh RangEsa PaadhukhE ! 
People with limited familiartity with VedAs get a hint of 
your auspicious attributes with the help of the Adhikavi,
Sri Valmiki; he took upon himself to elaborate on the brief 
statements of the VedAs on Your glory and helped one and all 
to understand Your majesty and power. VedAs themselves are 
indeed the prime source(pramANam) for describing Your glory .

(2) Andavan Anubhavam: Oh Ranganaatha paadhukhE !Vedic scholars 
can easily relate to the sections in the VedAs , where Your glories
are being celebrated .Even ordinary folks unfamiliar with the VedAs 
guess readily that Your glories are celebrated in the VedAs .
This is because of the kaimkaryam of Sage ValmIki , who has
elaborated the VedArthams realted to Your glories in his epic ,
Srimath RaamAyaNam .

(3) In the AyOdhyA KhAndham of Srimath RaamAyaNam ,
BharathA put the Sri Raama PaadhukhAs on his head 
and declared " yEthEhi sarvalOkasya yOgakshEmam vidhAsyatha:" 
(Your sacred sandals will look after the safety
and well being of the whole world ;they will provide 
for the needs of all people and protect them ).
Kampa NaatAzhwAr in his Kampa RaamAyaNam followed 
the foot steps of Sage Valmiki echoes the same thoughts , 
while describing the moving request of Bharathan to 
his brother to bless him with His sacred sandals
(AyOdhyAKhAndham-Paasuram 1191):

"semmayin Thiruvadit thalam tandheeha 
yemmayum taruvana irandum nalhinAn "

( Oh RamachandrA ! Please give me with 
Your sweet blessings Your PaadhukhAs !
Sri Ramachandran acceded to that request and 
blessed his dear brother Bharathan with
the PaadhukhAs , which yield all types of
auspicousness).... V.S
