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

(1) Sri UttamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Oh PahukhAs of 
the hero of the lineage of Raghu ! May Thou rest 
on my head for a long time ! May Thou remove all 
the blemishes , the sins of mine and confer the same
blessings that BharathA received. By wearing You as his 
crown , BharathA's lack of desire in ruling AyOdhyA for 
its own sake was proven. His character and intent were 
no longer questioned. He was recognized as a great soul 
and devout devotee of Sri Rama , his brother. May my 
connection with You remove all the ills that come my way
during my stay on this earth . May all my misfortunes 
associated with the ills of samsara be dispelled by Your
mighty power ! May Thou shine on my head always ! 

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh Raghuveera PaadhukhE !
Since BharathA went through a lot of troubles to receive
You on his head , he was spared from all types of calumny.
Similarly , You should stay on my head as a parivattam 
and remove all apavAdhams . RaamA gave the magnificient
gift of His PaadhukhAs to protect his brother BharathA
from lOkApavAdhams . The inner meaning is that those , who
approach a sadAchAryan will be freed from all types of
inauspiciousness and apavAdhams .

(3) Swamy Desikan beseeches the Paadhukhais of Lord RanganAthA
to stay and play on his head always to remove all "visva- 
apavAdha dhurjAthA " or the infamous worldly gossips and 
calumny . Such power to banish all of the painful calumny 
can only come from a Veeran or a mighty hero of unparalled 
valour.Such is the undisputed valor of the Raghuveera 
Paadhukhais .Hence ,Swamy Desikan addresses the venerable 
Paadhukhais as "Raghuveera PaadhukhE " here ....V.S
