NOTES BY V.SADAGOPAN (V.S):
****************************

(1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam:Oh Mother PaadhukhE!
Lord Maadhavan is influenced by His consort and 
sends You to bless the dEvAs .You also start on
this assigned mission by sanctifying the dEvAs 
through Your stay on their heads for ashort moment .
DevAs want to keep You on their heads longer and
they push each other to compete for this rare blessing.
Lord VishvaksEnA , the chief of protocol of the Divine
Couple creates order amidst the commotion by waving his 
cane over the heads of the jostling dEvAs . He does not
hit them since they are Sri RanganAtha BhakthAs , but
only threatens them to create order during this unruly
scene.Oh Mother PaadhukhE ! Such is Your glory ! Who
indeed has the intellect to praise Your many auspicious
qualities in a fitting manner ?

(2) Brahma , RudhrAdhan and other dEvAs are not free from 
their desires ; they regret that that they could not 
covet for the special position that NammAzhwAr has
achieved through his serviceas the Paadhukhais of 
their Lord .

(3) Here Swami Desikan salutes the Paadhukhai of the Lord
as the Loka MaathA . He points out that the DevAs
get anxious for the contact of the Paadhukhai on their
heads and push each other to become the first recipient
(aham prathamikA) of that SoubhAgyam .That commotion
by the tight crowd of the dEvAs moving forward 
creates chaos and disarray.This disorderly scene in front
of the AasthAnam of Sri RanganAthA forces VishvaksEnar
to shake the cane (vEthralathikA )in his hand to
control the surging crowd of dEvAs and restore order...V.S
