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

(1)UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: During KaaLiya mardhanam ,
Lord KrishNA set His foot on the branch of a KaDambhA tree branch.
>From that branch , He jumped on the head of the serpent
KaaLiyan threatening the gopAs from his abode in the YamunA 
river. That branch of the tree transformed immediately 
into a branch of the VedhAs(Vedha saakhA )due to the sambhandham 
with the holy feet of the Lord of the Universe.The very same feet 
of the Lord attains even a greater auspiciousness by virtue 
of contact with the PaadhukhAs.When those holy feet clad in
the PaadhukhAs are placed on the heads of devotees ,
the Lord's feet gain the rich status of SaakAnusAkhA.

(2) Sri Andavan anubhavam: During KrishNAvathAram , the branches
of the trees on the banks of YamunA river that had the bhAgyam
of sambhandham of the Lord's holy feet attaind a status equal to
the branches of the vedhAs. Those thiruvadis of the Lord have
attained more glory by being with the Paadhukhais .The inner
meaning is that the sthalams sung by Swami NammAzhwAr and
other AzhwArs acquired the status of Dhivya dEsams.

(3) Swami Desikan says:" Neepa saakhA , nigama saakhA vaibhavam
vahathi ". The ordinary branch of the NeepA tree has now
attained the high status of a nigama saakhA (branch of VedhA)
due to their contact with the Lord's lotus feet . When those
holy feet are united with the Paadhukhais and when those 
Paadhukhais are placed on the heads of devotees , the sacred 
feet of the Lord becomes rich with many branches (SaakhAnu-
saakhAm VibhUthim bhajathi)(i-e)., The glory of those feet 
grow many fold ... V.S
