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

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Oh PaadhukhE of the Lotus-eyed Lord !
The great Ones abandon the dubious approaches charactrestried by 
pains and pleasures and fix their minds only on You to obtain
the aunalloyed bliss of union withthe Lord's holy feet in a manner
similar to You .

2) Srimadh Andavan's anubhavam : Oh Lord's PaadhukhE ! Few great Ones 
abandon Karma Yogam and other UpAyams to secure Moksham and instead 
meditate on You . The inner meaning is that the fortunate few place
their total faith in their AchAryAs and do not engage in other 
upAyams to secure Moksham . 

3) The anushtAnam of the mahantha: (the great Ones) is alluded
to here . They leave the upAyams that are doubtful regarding
their ability to yield phaalan ( SithAsithAn upAyAn apahAya) 
and seek the BhOgam of seeking refuge in You ( tvadhasAdhaaraNa 
BhOga SaabhilAshA: Santha:). They develop a way of life that
does not focus on anyone except You ( TvadhanyatayA Vrutthim
bhajanthi). Unconditional AchArya Bhakthi is referred to here
as the preferred way of life of the enlightened Ones ...V.S
