Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(V.S)
*******************************************
SlOkma 914: This slOkam is set in a chithra pattern known as
" GooDa chathurTam ". Here all the letters of the fourth line 
( " PaadhukA Ranga BhUpathE: ) are scattered and hidden 
across the previous three lines of the SlOkam :
 
PadhmEva Mangala--sarith
Paaram samsAra--santhathE:
dhuritha--kshEpikA bhooyAth
PAADHUKAA RANGABHOOPATHE:
 
The fourth line consists of  8 letters : Paa, dhu , Kaa
( Paadhukaa) , ra, nga , bhU , pa and tE: ( Ranga BhUpathE:).
 
Let us locate now these 8 letters in the other lines sequentially.
 
The Letter "Paa" is found in the second line beginning
in the word " Paa-ram). The letter " dhu" is  found in the third
line starting with " dhu-ri-tha--" . Thus the three letters 
constituting
the first word "Paa-dhu-kaa" are accounted for in the other lines.
 
The rest of the five letters of the 4th Paadham are found in the 
following 
word: "Ra-nga-bhU-pa-tE: " The first letter "ra" is found in the 
middle of 
the word in the second line :" Sam-sa-RA ". The second letter "nga"
of the fourth line is found in the first line of the slOkam amidst 
the word " Ma-NGA--La ". The third letter "bhU" is found in the third
line of the slOkam, where one comes across"bhU-ya-th ".
The fourth letter of the last line is "pa" . This letter is found in
the second line in the first lime : " Pa-dh-mE-va". The fifth letter
of the fourth line (Chathurtham ), "tE: "  is hidden at the end of 
second 
line in the word : " Sam-ta-tE: "
 
Thus Swamy  Desikan created this slOkam with GooDa ChathurTa
Chithram to salute the Lord's Paadhukais.There are also Chithrams
like GooDa Prathamam , where the letters found in the first line
are scattered hidden in the other three lines of the slOkam .
 
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Swamy Desikan says here that 
the PaadhukAs of Lord RanganAtha share all auspicious attributes
of SrI RanganAyaki , the consort of the Lord . These shared attributes
are: (1) Removal of all sins instantaneously (2) Putting an end to 
the cycles of births and deaths and (3) being the NECTARINE flood of 
all auspiciousness for its devotees.
 
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Paadhukais of the Lord resembles 
MahA Lakshmi ( Sri RanganAyaki) in (1) granting its aasrithAs ( those
who seek refuge) l the flood of auspiciousness breaking both the 
banks 
(2) being the end of samsAra pravAham ( it protects aasrithAs
from the fierce flood of SamsAram) and (3) by removing all of our 
sins.
 
The inner meaning is that we should pray to SrI RanganAyaki ,
SadAchAryAs and the Paadhukais for gaining the fruits of the first 
three PurushArTams ( Thrivarga Phalan ) like Dharmam , arTam 
and Kaamam as well as "apavargaphalan" of Moksham . All the sins 
standing in the way of  attaining these two kinds of Phalans are
removed by worshipping SrI RanganAyaki, SadAchAryAs and
the Paadhukais of the Lord .
 
3) The prayer is : May the PaadhukAs of the Lord of Srirangam
be like MahA Lakshmi/SrI RanganAyaki ( Ranga BhUpathE: 
PaadhukA PadhmEva BhUyAth ). Which way should the PaadhukAs
resemble SrI RanganAyaki ? They should destroy our sins quickly
like Her ( Dhuritha kshEpikA bhUyAth ). They should be like the flood 
of
auspiciousness like Her ( MangaLa sarith bhUyAth). They should be like
Her in being the end for the recurring cycles of births and deaths
( SamsAra santhathE: Paaram)...(V.S).
