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).
