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

(1) The Sandhi-splitting of slOkam:

prApthE prayANa samayE MaNi paadharakshe
pouraan avEkshya bhavathI karuNA pralApan 
manju praNAtha mukarA vinivarthanArtham
Raamam padha grahaNa poorvam ayAchathEva

(2) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh MaNi PaadhukhE !
The sweet sound that emanted from You , when RaamA
took His first steps towards the forest on Your back 
sounded like an appeal and prayer from You to Your Lord.
It appeared as though You were praying at His sacred feet
for Him to return toAyOdhyA or for sseeking His blessings 
for the safe return of the crying citizens of AyOdhyA ,
who accompanied Him on the trip to be with Him .

(3) Srimath Andavan Anubhavam: The inner meaning is that 
the AchAryAs recommend a Jeevan to PerumAL , when that
Jeevan sorrows over its inability to have the grace of 
the Lord. At that time , PerumAL sends the AchAryan 
to that Jeevan . 

(4) The sound of PaadhukhA arose from the Kumizh contiaing
many gems colliding against each other as Sri RaamA 
began to walk. Hence Swami Desikan addresses the Paadhukhais
as MaNI PaadhukE .That sound is Manju PraNAdham or a sweet
sound like AchAryA's pleading with Bhagavaan for the Jeevan's
Moksham ....V.S
