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

(1) Oh PaadhukhE ! When Your Lord incarnated as
ThrivikramA , to quell the arrogance of MahA Bali,
His feet expanded and touched everything in this
Univrse and the heavens as he measured them with
His two steps. AdiyEn did not exist in those days 
to have the benefit of contact with His spreading ,
holy feet to destroy my mountains of sins. Today ,
with the touch of Yourself(satAri) wiht my head ,
these monumnetal loads of sins have been destroyed 
instantly . How can I even attempt to describe Your
glory ? You are indeed more powerful than the holy feet
of Lord ThrivikramA Himself! ..V.S

(2) Sri Andavan anubhavam:The inner meaning of this slOkam is :
AchAryALs destroy the sins that could not even be destroyed 
by their Lord . That speaks to the glory of Swami NammAzhwAr.

Swami Desikan ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam
