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

(1)UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam:OH PaadhukhE! 
When BharathA carried You on his head and started 
his journey back to AyOdhyA to place You on 
the gem-studded throne of Kosala dEsam , the citizens of 
AyOdhyA accompanied him (BharathA)and participated in all 
of the ceremonies.The Citizens were elated to see You 
ruling the kingdom as the representative of RaamA 
and offered their prayers and praises to You with joy.

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The joyous citizens 
of AyOdhyA reacted as though they had received all
the four PurushArthams , when BharathA brought You
on his head to AyOdhyA from ChithrakUtam .They woke
You up in the morning with their eulogies.

(3) The joyous Poura Vargam ( the assembly of Citizens)
of AyOdhyA is split into two groups:Vandhi: and VaithALikA:
PerumAl is awakened by VaithALikAs with SuprabhAtham 
and Vandhi: follow them with their salutatory eulogies.
The exalted status of the PaadhukhAis are thus hinted here.
Later Swami Desikan is going to create a whole Paadhathi
called VaithALika Paddhathi ( the 9th of the 32 Paddhathis)
to awaken the PaadhukhAs through VaithALikAs with ten 
slOkams. There , Swami Desikan identified the VaithALikAs
as the Upanishads . These VaithALikAs also announce 
the different times of the day and night to remind 
the PaadhukhAs of the royal duites associated with those
time slots ...V.S
