NOTES BY V.SADAGOPAN
*********************

(1)Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Sri RanganAthA's 
paadhukhAs are decorating the heads of the VedAs and
Upanishads.They also adorn the lotus feet of Sri RanganathA 
at the same time .Over aeons , the crowns of prostrating 
BrahmAs rub against the PaadhukhAs and make their surfaces
soft like the Lord's Paadha Kamalam .Sri RanganAthA's sacred
feet stand at an elevated place , since He is a mountian of
Mercy. Since His feet are at a high altitude , our rivers 
of Paapam do not stay stagnant there like water staying at
a valley . The flood of our sins drain away rapidly as soon as 
we come into contact with those lofty PaadhukhAs adorning
the Lord's holy feet .

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam : The inner meaning is that
adiyEn will become pure and be rid of my sins thru the anugraham 
of AzhwArs and AchAryAs .

(3)These PaadhukhAs are at the lotus soft feet of
the Veda PrathipAdhyan, Sri RanganAthan .He is 
sruthi satha sira:chUDA ( He has many Upanishads ,
the siras of many Vedams prostratign at His holy feet).
Those sacred feet are also the site, where we find
the bent heads of a row of BrahmAs ,who follow in
regular succession ( krama pariNamath Vedha:srENi
sikhA).The gems on their crowns rub against 
the surface of the paadhukhAs ans make latter smooth 
over aeons .The surface of the PaadhukhAs becomes smooth
(asruNitha talam bhavathi).There in that high altitude,
the sins of those , who prostrate at the PaadhukhAs 
protecting the holy feet of the Lord , flow rapidly 
away . The Lord's PaadhukhAs have such power ( amOgha 
visarpiNa: yEthAn dhuritha sarithAm OghAn nipIDayithum 
KshamE).... V.S
