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

(1)Utthamur Swamy's anubhavam:Oh Maadhava PaadhukE !
Those who place You on their heads become qualified to
attain the positions (Pattams) of Brahmaa and Rudraa. 
Those blessed souls are carried by the Swan shining like 
the autumnal moon and Nandhi DevA , the white bull resplendent
like the peaks of Mount Kailaasam respectively. Oh PaadhukhE !
Your glory and far reaching powers are such that those who
adorn You on their heads achieve the status of the riders of 
the Swan and the Bull .

(2)Srimath Andavaan's anubhavaam: The inner meaning is that 
those who have deep AchArya Bhakthi will gain Brahma and 
Siva pattams readily. When Moksha Siddhi can be obtained 
from such profound AchArya Bhakthi , there is nothing surprising
about qualifying for lesser siddhis like the positions of
BrahmA and SivA .

(3) Swamy Desikan's choice of the namaskAram to
the Lord's Paadhukhai here as "Maadhava PaadhukhE " is
suggestive of the topic of this slOkam (Viz).,Moksham .
Only Maadhavan can grant Moksham .Hence , Swamy Desikan
addresses the Paadhukhais reverentially as "Maadhava
PaadhukhE ".....V.S
