971. upAKhyAtham thaThAthvEna vasiShTAdhyaIrmaharShiBhi:
upAyaPhalayO: kAShTAmupAsE rAmapAdhukAM
I worship the Paaduka, which has rightly been conceded the greatness
of being acclaimed as the ultimate end, as upaya (Means) and as upaya
(fruit), by competent seers like Vasishta and Valmiki.
Namo Narayana,

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)
Introduction to the Phala Paddhathi( 32nd & Final Paddhathi) :
In the Nirveda Paddhathi , the despair of Swamy Desikan
from the indifference of the Lord's Paadhukais over his request
for anugraham to be rid of SamsAric Sufferings was the theme .
In the last slOkam of NirvEda Paddhathi , the DayA Moorthy ,
the Paadhukais responded most favorably to the moving plea for
rescue by Swamy Desikan and freed Swamy Desikan from his
erstwhile worries and Swamy began to celebrate the glorious modes of
the Lord's Paadhukais as the matchless purushArTam joyously
as a fititng finale . Every one of the remaining 38 slOkams of
the final chapter of Sri RanganAtha PadhukA Sahasram (Phala
Paddhathi ) has to be intrepreted in the context of the Parama Phala
Roopam of the Lord's Paadhukais according to our PoorvAchAryAs .
SlOkam 971
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: adiyEn approaches Lord Raamachandra"s
Paadhukais , which have been described by Sage Vasishta and others
as the supreme means to gain the fruit of Moksham . It serves both
as the Means (UpAyam ) and Fruit (Phalan) .
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Sage VasishtA and other Maha Rishis
have pointed out that the Lord's Paadhukais are powerful to confer
Yogam (standing as UpAyam to gain hitherto unattained blessings and
removing all obstacles in such attainments) and Kshemam ( protection
of those soubhAgyams after attaining them ). Swamy DEsikan
meditates on the powerful Paadhukais of the Lord, which responded to
his plea and revealed that they are the limits of Phalan ( MOksha
SUkham ).
3) The Paadhukais have been described by Sage VasishtA and
his peers ( VasishtAdhyai: ) that the Lord's Padhukais are the most
superior upAyam among UpAyams for Bhagavath PrApthi and the best
among Phalans (taTAthvEna upAkhyAtham ) . This they have declared in
SrImath RaamAyaNam and other Prabhandhams. I meditate on those noble
Paadhukais , which are the limit among all desired UpAyams and
Phalans( UpAya PhalayO: KaashtAm Raama PaadhukAm upAsE )...(V.S).
