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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy Anubhavam:may Lord RanganathA's
lotuss feet eternally united with the paadhukhAs rest
on my head as a protection against previous , past and
future sins.Just as the paadhukhAs protect the lotus feet 
of the Lord from moisture and thorns during His sanchArams ,
May they protect me from my accumulated sins! The very same
PaadhukhAs bring the Lord out of His residence (AasthAnam )
and makes the DevAs prostrate before Him to remind them 
about His primordial and eternal status .

(2) Srimadh Andavan Anubhavam: The DevAs adorn the Lord's 
Paadhukhais on their heads .As a result, The Lord's 
Thiruvadi becomes Seshi and the the heads of the DEvAs 
become Sesham . The word sEshi symmbolizes the entity 
that is glorious thru its superiority . The word Seshan
means the object that is a testament to the glory of
Seshi . The PaadhukhAs performs the act of making 
the Lord's Thiruvadi , Seshi and the heads of DevAs,
Seshans . The PaadhukhAs also destroy all past sins.
They prevent the accumulation of future sins.May the
PaadhukhAs of such glory stay always on my head ! 

The inner meaning is that we become the servants of
the Thiruvadi for the Lord thru the intercession of
the AchAryAs. Therefore , we should always remember 
the incomparable help given to us by our AchAryAs .
