Oh ManipAdhuka! The Lord having reached the couch, You release the
foothold; You also observe silence, leaving a good opportunity for
the Lord to hear the Sama sung by Brahma-child, lying in the navel-
lotus.
Namo Narayana,

Special Notes by V. Sadagopan (V.S):
SlOkam 442:
(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: This section known as Naadha
paddhathi was created by Swamy Desikan to celebrate the Naadham
emanting from the PaadhukAs , when they are of service to the Lord.
Swamy Desikan hs composed this verse and three other verses about
occasions , when the PaadhukAs stop generating the Naadham for
special reasons. Swamy Desikan seems to consider that the generation
of the naadham as well as its cessation are legitimate topics for
inclusion in this section of Sri RanganAtha paadhukA sahasram .
Here, Swamy Desikan says: " Oh PaadhukE !Oh Mother ! You seem to give
the opportunity for Your Lord resting on AadhisEshA to hear the Saama
Vedam recitation by His son BrahmA seated on the lotus arising out
of the Lord's naabhi . It is for this purpose it appears that You
have left The Lord's feet and are observing the vow of silence so
that there is no distraction for Your Lord's enjoyment of the SaamA
ghaanam .
(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam : The Lord has arrived at His
sanctum . The dhivya paadhukais have transported Him there. This
slOkam and the next two slOkams describe the mood at that time inside
the sanctum.The Paadhukais have become still and it appears that they
are facilitating the Lord to hear the Saama GhAnam from BrahmA .
(3) Sri ranganAthan has arrived at the sanctum and has ascended on
His bed of AadisEshan ( Prabhu : paryankam aasrithavAn ). The
Paadhukais have become silent after leaving the Lord's feet (
Paadham vihAya parikalpitha mouna mudhrA ). The PaadhukAs by keeping
quiet seems to help the Lord listen to the Saama GhAnam performed by
His son BrahmA resting on the bed of the lotus arising out of the
Lord's navel ( Naabhi sarOja sayitha arbhaka SaamagIthim srOthum
avasaram disasIva) ?(V.S)
