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

(1) UtthamUr Swamy anubhavam:In the previous slOkam ,
Swami Desikan referred to the flood of nectar flowing from
the nails of the Lord's feet resting on the top of
the PaadhukhAs and parivattam . In this slOkma , Swami links 
this nectar pravAham to that of the Sacred GangA pravAham 
that originated from the washing of the holy feet of the Lord 
by Brahma Devan duirng ThiruvikramAvathAram .That GangA found 
its first home in the matted locks of Lord SivA , who comes often 
to offer His salutation to Sri RanganAthA . During those occasions ,
the nectar flood associated with the lord's radiant nails
mingles freely with the cool floods of GangA resting inside 
the Jatai of Lord SivA; when this parama bhakthan of Sri
RanganAthan bends His head to receive the Paadhukhais on His head ,
then the two floods intermingle.Both these floods have their
origins in the Lord's sacred feet and therefore have a deep
friendship .Swami Desikan invokes the blessings of these 
holy PaadhukhAs adorning the Lord's lotus feet.

(2) Andavan Swamy's anubhavam : Upanishads salute the auspiciuous
PaadhukhAs and their limitless vaibhavams. May those mangaLa
PaadhukhAs confer us on all auspiciousness! The paadhukhAs are
always found on the bent head of Lord SivA in the company of
the sacred GangA , since both gangA and the PaadhukhAs have
the Paadha Sambhandham of the Lord VishNu .

(3) Swami Desikan's reference in this slOkam to the Lord's 
Paadhukhais "Tadh VishNO: paramam Padhathra-yugaLam "
takes its origin from the Vedhic pasage : "Tadh VishNO:
Paramam Padham sadhA pasyanthi Sooraya: ".The divya Sooris
find the PaadhukhAs of indescribable glory and richness 
at the feet of the Lord , when they have the sevai of
the Lord's feet .Swami Desikan prays for the rich blessings
of the PaadhukhAs here ( Na: bhUyAmsi ShrEyAmsi Vitharathu)..V.S
