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

(1)UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: The blessings arising from 
adorning the PaadhukhAs on one's head is further described 
here . The wearing of the PaadhukhAs even once on one's head
with devotion will result in being led to Sri Vaikuntam by 
the AadhivAhikAs through the archirAdhi margam at the end of 
one's life on this earth. Since the AadhivAhikAs take over, 
Dharma RaajA (Yama Devan )is unable to intervene to order 
the soul to undergo the punishment associated with the sins
committed by the soul during its earthly existence . 
The PaadhukhAs though their sanctifying touch destroy all 
the sins of its devotee and puts Dharma RajA and his staff
out of their anticipated business .

(2)Sri Andavan's anubhavam : Oh Paadhukhais of Lord SaarangapANi!
When a bhakthan places You on his head even once , he is taken
at the time of his death by Your servants, the Nithya Sooris, 
to Your Lord's Parama Padham .Dharma Raajan and his servants 
tremble and they do not even come near the blessed soul .

(3)AadhivAhikAs are different dEvAs assigned to lead a liberated
soul (Muktha Jeevan )to the abode of the Lord ( Sri Vaikuntam )
through a designated divine route decribed by Brahma SoothrAs
(chapter 4.3.1-6), , ChandhOgya , BrahadAranya and KaushitikI
Upanishads.Swami NammAzhwAr describes this joyous journey
along the path of light (archirAdhi margam )to parama Padham 
led by AadhivAhikAs in his ThiruvAimozhi Paasurams (10.9).. V.S
