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

(1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: We meditate on the PaadhukhAs ,
whose protection of prapannAs is absolute and unquestioned.
They are unfailing in their power to bless those , who
seek their refuge.In this regard, they are superior to
the Lord's feet themselves.BharathA got the blessings of
RaamA's lotus feet only after fourteen years , while His 
PaadhukhAs offered their protection unceasingly and
immediately .

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: In these twenty verses of
the PrathiprasthAna Paddhathi , Swamy Desikan describes 
the return of the paadhukais to AyOdhyA . Swamy Desikan
points out that the Paadhukhais returned to AyOdhyA
because of their unique DayA for the citizens of AyOdhyA.
Swami meditates upon those PaadhukhAs . The inner meaning 
here is that the Paadhukhais have more compassion than 
the Lord Himself .

(3) Swami Desikan describes the Paadhukai's compassion 
(aanrusamsyam) as unfettered ( anavagraham ). For those 
who seek the refuge of such merciful Paadhukhais , 
their dayA is loftier than the sacred feet of 
the Lord Himself (AasrithEshu , Raama PaadhAbhyAm 
prasasthE )...V.S
