Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan 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). ------------------------ Yahoo!
