NOTES BY V.SADAGOPAN (V.S):

(1)Sri Andavan Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukhE ! Those who
place You on their heads even once with reverence become
holy and they consider Svargam as narakam and join their
AchArya GhOshti in Sri Vaikuntam as Muktha Jeevans .

(2)The sacredness of the heads of those adorning the SaarngapANi's
PaadhukhAs (SaarngiNa: PaadhukhE ) is indicated by decribing
them as being next only to the Upanishads or Veda Siras in
sanctity ( Upanishath anukalpai: utthamAngai: dhadhAna:). 
Swami Desikan salutes these bhAgyasaalis as "MahAntha: ". 
These great ones jump over Svargam by considering that
as equivalent to narakam( narakimiva naakam ullangayantha:)
in worth and enter the assembly of AchAryAs in Sri Vaikuntam , 
who had arrived there earlier ( PrAkthAanAnAm GurUNAm parishadhi 
NivisanthE ).. V.S
