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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam :Our Lord's feet have been
described as Sarva Gandha and Sarva Rasa. They have hence 
the Vedic fragrance and impregnate that unique fragrance
to You, when You are in association with those sacred feet.
The dEvAs adorn You on their heads decorated by MandhAra
MaalAs , which in turn acquire the Vedic fragrance from
You.The mandhAra flowers sense that their intrinsic 
fragrance can not match the Vedha parimaLam and hide
themselves inside the tresses of the DevAs. You encourage
them to come out reinforced with Vedhic fragrance imparted 
by You .

(2) Srimadh Andavan's anubhavam :Oh PaadhukhE ! All the DevAs
wear You on their heads with affection that is more than
that they have for the MandhAra MaalAs that they traditionally
adorn on their tresses. Why ? It is because of Your presence
at the sacred feet of the Lord and because of the salutations 
of Your glories by the VedhAs .

(3) The devAs are not fully satisfied with the lovely 
fragrance of the MandhAra flowers used in the garlands 
decorating their heads. They want some thing that is 
uniquely capable of enhancing the intrinsic fragrance
of the mandhArA flowers . The DevAs adorn hence the Paadhukhais 
on their heads to accomplish this goal .The mandhAra 
maalais thru contact with the Lord's SatAri acquire 
the nigama parimaLam and become enriched.. V.S
