NOTES BY V.SADAGOPAN
*********************
(1)In this slOkam , Swami Desikan answers the question
he asked in the previos slOkam : " ThulyAdhikArA yadhi
KINNU Santha: thvAmEva nithyam sirasA vahanthi?"( If
all the four of you are same in status , how come
the great Ones wear always only You on their heads ?).
Swamy gives two closely realted answers for his
own question : (1) Thvam Parasya Pumsa:tath Paramam
Padham nithyam BhiBarshi( You wear those famous feet
of the Supreme Lord on Your head (2) anyAdhrusAM vyAmOdhasAm
padhAni thvayi aayathanthE { You hold suzeranity (Lordship)
over all other devathAs /nithyasooris. It is no wonder
therefore all the puNyasAlis wear You alone on their heads..V.S
(2) Swamy Desikan plays with the double meaning of the word ,
Padham . This word can mean either foot or status (padhavi)
as in Brahma Padham or Brahma Pattam .
(3)Srimadh Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukhE ! when the Lord's
dhivya Padham ( Thiruvadi) is under your juridsdiction (adhInam ) ,
it is no wonder that the Pattams of every one of the anya dEvathAs
are under your control .
(4)UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh MaNi PaadhukhE ! You are
supporting the celebrated lotus feet of Your Lord always.
Those , who are not blessed like You obtain their exalted
status and rank through Your mighty grace. They owe truly
their blessings to You .
