Whosoever clings to the feet of a great good man of a flawless 
character, following his footsteps in the matter of all actions, 
especially in those designed for the good of the world, he will 
secure, as the paaduka secured, the respectability befitting the 
Royalty. Not only this: he would be served with respect by kings too; 
furthermore, he will have the previlege of being served by people who 
will look to his view for all implementations.

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
 
SlOkam 825
 
1) UtthamUr  Swamy's anubhavam: Here Swamy  Desikan points out 
another lOka neethi pertaining to the one, who surrenders at the feet 
of the noble king or great AchArya. Such a person gains the reward of 
being recognized and rewarded by the king and at the same time 
becomes the object of worship by the fellow citizens. He says: " The 
One of blemishless character, who surrenders at the feet of an evolved
soul (king or AchAryan) and follows the steps established by them 
gets rewarded by the king as in the case of Raama PaadhukAs . He is 
also worshipped by the righteous people of the land. "The PaadhukAs 
through their illustrious conduct and  service attained the reward of 
ruling the kingdom of Raghus. This reward is conferred by Lord 
Raamachandra Himself.
 
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: At one time Raama  lost the kingdom. 
He gained the kingdom later. In between His Paadhukais ruled the 
kingdom on His command. When one thinks about all these happenings, 
one becomes convinced that anyone who serves a great one and follows 
their anushtAnam will attain great status. Raama PaadhukAs served Him 
with devotion. They became the emperor of the kingdom.
 
3) The one , who serves the feet of a blemishless great person 
meticulously and follows their way of conduct (Ya: anaga vrutthE: 
kasyachith charaNam prApya , sakala bhuvana gupthyai sathpaTE 
vartatE )  will attain the lofty status of Raama Paadhukais and will 
be revered by the kings and becomes the object of worship at 
appropriate times ( Sa: PaadhukEva narapathi bhaumAnam adhigacchan 
samayEshu prEkshithaj~nai: upAsya: bhavathi)...(V.S).
