Oh Paaduka! You are the root for the tree, 
that Lord Mukunda is, from which the goals of 
life (Dharma, Artha, etc.) are fruits that can be 
plucked with one's hand effortlessly; it could be 
well said that this tree absorbs the abolution water 
showered on You (the root) so as to confer, 
on people, a shade, rather a lustre, of great fruits.

Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (VS):
***********************************

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Here, Swamy Desikan
compares the Paadhukais to the root of Bhagavaan .
He says: " I have to consider You as the root
of the tree known as MukundhA , since You thrive from
the ceremonial waters poured on You and cause the tree 
of MukundhA to grow with fruit and provide shade to those
scorched by the taapams of SamsArA". The four fruits that
grow on this unusual tree are the four purushArthams
( desired objects of human life), viz., dharma , arthA ,
kaamA and mOksham . Swamy hints further that the four kinds of 
fruits of the tree of MukundhA are within easy reach for 
picking by human beings , thanks to the help of the Paadhukais.

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that 
firm bhakthi in SadAchAryAs yields the four purushArthams 
from PerumAL effortlessly.

(3) The Paadhukai is recognized as " Mukundha 
mahIruha moolam "( the central root of the tree of 
Mukundhan/aaNi vEr).the auspicious , consecrated
waters falling on it ( subhai: abhishEka thOyai: 
aavarjithai:), produces two things :(1) the growth
of the four fruits of PurushArtham (2) comforting shade
from the tree ( chAyA visEsham). These fruits are 
pickable readily by the humans even when they are 
lying in the horizontal position under that tree 
(i-e), effortlessly ( Hastha apachEya purushArtham).
The Paadhukai is the root of that tree of Mukundhan ,
which produces those four kinds of fruits(Phala
prasUthE: Mukundha MahIruha moolam)...VS
