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

(1) UtthamUr Swamy anubhavam: Oh gem-studded PadhukEs!
BharahtA , the great soul , prayed for You as a gift
from his elder brother out of devotion for You. 
BharathA did not seek You as a gift because of Your
power to rule all the worlds effectively. It is no
wonder that sage VasishtA , the family priest suggested
that BharathA ask for Raama PaadhukhAs , since he knew
that RaamA was BhagavAn Himself , who was hiding as a mere 
man for fulfilling the vows related to His avathAram . 

(2) Srimath ANDavan anubhavam: The inner meaning here is :
NammAzhwAr was born in Soothra jaathi. It is not enough
to say those of Brahmin kulam celebrate him as sankEtham .
Even the great Sukha Brahmam has celebrated his future 
avathAram as follows:" kvachith kvchin mahAbhAgA:--
ThambrabharNi nadhI yathra".Will Suka Brahmam say
anything is not true ? AchAryAs are Mahaans .

(3) Swami Desikan points out here that those who
are skilled at describing the truth as it is 
will recognize the PaadhukhAs as the One , which
confers auspicousness on the people of the world ...V.S
