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

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Oh Gem-studded Paadhukhais
of the Lord ! The very same Lord , who has the entire universe 
and its contents as His weapons and jewelery , becomes the jewelery
on Your head. When He wears You ,He becomes like a jewelery 
to You and thereby Your superiority is revealed by Him . 

2) Srimadh Andavan's anubhavam : The Lord of Srirangam bears
the entire universe as His AbhAraNams and Aayudhams . Even 
that magnificent Lord bearing the entire Universe , You 
carry Him on Your head without much effort .The inner meaning
is that the entire world is under the control of the Lord . That
Lord is under the control of Swami NammAzhwAr (SatAri ), His 
Padhukhai.

3) The choice of words to contrast the effort of the Lord in 
bearing the entire Universe and its contents as Jewelery 
and weapons and the Paadhukhais holding that Lord effortlessly
on its head is beautiful .The Lord's effort is described as
"Bibharthi " and the paadhukhai's effortless effort is
explained as "DhAryathE ". The Lord bears all the Universe
all alone ( Ya: kEvalam akhilam visvam bhibathi ); Even 
that mighty Lord of such unparalleled valor , the Paadhukais
wears Him on its head like a light flower without effort 
( ( sOapi thvayA aklamEna sEkarathayA yEva dhAryathE ).What 
a splendid imagination and skills as a Kavi Simham !..V.S
