Special Notes by V.Sadagopan:(V.S)***********************************
(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Evening approaches
now at Srirangam. The Upanishads as Vandhis and VaithALikAs
invite Lord RanganAthA to participate in the DheepArAdhanam
(lamp worship) to be performed by the divine damsels (apsaras).
The Upanishads say : " Oh RanganAthA ! We request You to ascend
Your PaadhukAs and walk to the hall , where the Apsaras ladies
are waiting to offer You worship through raising of the lamps
on their beautiful hands .The Paadhukais are waiitng to bring
You over there with their customary grace and elegance.
(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: It is Saayam sandhyA kaalam .
The attendants at the Lord's temple at Srirangam bring many
kinds of lit lamps for evening worship . Afterwards KshIrAnnam
is offered . MangaLAratthi follows . Swamy Desikan thinks of
this occasion and blesses us with this slOkam . Swamy Desikan
States through the VaithALikAs : " Oh The Lord of Srirangam !
The celestial damsels have arrived with bright lamps in
their hands to offer You dhIpArAdhanam to You . Please wear
Your Paadhukais and arive at the hall, where they are waiting
for You to receive their offering.
(3) It is rajanImukham or Saayam sandhyA kaalam at
the Lord's city. This is a time filled with beauty
( asmin subhagE rajanImukhE ) . At Ranga VilAsa
MaNtapam , the celestial women of exquisite beauty
are assembled with different kinds of lit lamps
to perform neerajAsanam ( dheepArAdhanam ) to
their Lord . The Paadhukais of the Lord is in
a playful mood ( charanayO; SamrakshiNi asou
savilAsa vrutthi:) are ready to carry the Lord
to the MaNtapam to enjoy the samarpaNam from
the assembled Apsaras women . The VaithALikAs
sing to the Lord and remind Him to accept this
Kaimkaryam and arrive at the Mantapam onthe back of the 
Paadhukais...V.S
