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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: In the previous slOkam ,
NeerAjAsanam or worship through ceremonial waving of lamps
was described. There are number of AsanAs prescribed for
the nithyArAdhanam of the Lord suchas SnAnAsanam , AlamkArAsanam ,
neerAjanAsanam et al . Here the Upanishads in thre form of
VaithALikAs request Sri RanganAthan to travel to different
sites , where the AsanAs are being offered and travel to
these sites comfortably on the back of the Paadhukais.
The VaithALikAs request the Lord to accept the Padhukais
offered by Brahma dEvan for this purpose.

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The Upanishads pray
to the Lord this way : " Oh RanganAthA ! Please accept
the different upachArams (aasanAs)being readied at
different sites of Your temple. BrahmA is waiting with
Padhukais in hand to help You travel to these different
sites.

(3) BhagavathArAdhana kramam is made up of six different
aasanams like ManthrAsanam ,snAnAsanam ,alankArAsanam ,
BhOjyAsanam ,PunarmanthrAsanam and paryankAsanam .
The Paadhukais' role in these AarAdhanam is hinted
by the VaithALikAs(Upanishads) here. They say to
the Lord: " Oh RanganAthA ! If You are desirous of
moving on from one aasanam to another during the Aaraadhanam
that is being performed for Your preethi ,Please
accept and ascend on the gem-bedecked Paadhukais held by
BrahmA in his hands and travel to these different sites".
The Upanishads request Sri RanganAthan to accept with
delight the PaadhukAs from the hands of BrahmA ,
who is prostrating before the Lord ( SannathEna
VidhinA samarpithAm PaadhukAm saprasAdham adhirOha )..V.S
