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)....
