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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: " Oh RanganAthA!
At this time of dawn , BrahmA , SivA , Sage SanakA
and others are waiting at the outter court as directed
by VishvaksEnA. Oh Lord ! Please wear Your gem-studded
Paadhukais , which are the first among those enjoying
the bliss of Your darsanam because of its uniterrupted
sevices to You . Please bless Your loyal PadhukAs
first by acending on them and then come to Your outer
court to give Your darsanam to Your son , Grandson and
the assembled sages .

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh RanganAthA !
the enjoyment of the assoication with Your sacred
feet is equivalent to the wealth of having the title
of an emperor. Paadhukais is the first among those ,
who seek refuge at Your holy feet . Please wear those
Paadhukais of the highest repute and bless the others
with Your sEvA BhAgyam at this time of dawn .Thus sing
the Upanishads reminding the Lord to awaken and
adorn His Paadhukais.

(3) The humble prayer of the Upanishads is: " Oh RanganAthA!
PaadhukAm aadhriyEThA:" ( Please favor the Paadhukais by
wearing them . What are the unique attributes of those
Paadhukais that Upanishads request the Lord to wear ?
They perform kaimkaryam to the lotus feet of the Lord
( CharaNa kamala sEvA ). It enjoys the bliss from
such a sEvai (CharaNa kamala sEvA soukhyam ). That kind of
bhAgyam is only available to the elite, who are considered
to possess the title of emperors ( SaamrAjya BhAjAm ).
Even among those having such a " charaNa kamala sevA
soukhya saamrAjyA BhaajAm" , there is a hierarchy .
The first among such equals is the Paadhukai , since it has
the BhAgyam of association with the Lord's charaNa
Kamalam first thing in the morning. Upanishads appeal
to the Lord to wear the Paadhukais with such a mahimai..V.S
