Oh Paaduka! You remain below the Feet. Your service is in respect of
forcefully destroying thorns in the way. The knob above, for its
part, furnishes shelter; why, it confers a charm too!

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)
SlOkam 802:
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Swamy Desikan points out that the
YanthrikA not only serves as the decoration but also protects the
sacred feet of the Lord through the shade it provides. Swamy Desikan
says: " Oh PaadhukE! You protect the Lord's feet on ground from
thorns and stones. At the same time , through Your YanthrikAs
provide shade for the Lord's feet and protect them from overexposure
to the Sun's rays. Your YanthrikAs serve thus as umbrellas for the
Lord's tender feet.
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! You see to that the
Lord's tender feet are not bothered by thorns and heat . Through the
shade provided by the YanthrikA , You protect the upper surface of
the Lord's feet as well.
The inner meaning is that the AchAryAs always perform kaimkaryams that
please the Lord. They also protect the PerumAL like LakshmaNa Swamy
protected Lord Raamachandra and SithA PirAtti in the forest . At
places where the AchAryAs are, their AshtAkshara Manthra siddhi wards
off all diseases and inauspiciousness ( YathrAshtAkshara SamsiddhO
mahA bhAgO maheeyathE , na tathra sancharishyanthi VyAdhir-
dhurbhiksha-taskarA:).
3) Oh Protector of the Lord's feet (hE CharaNAvani) ! You protect the
inner soul of the Lord's lotus soft feet from thorns vigorously (
Bhavathee Souri PadhAmbhujAth adhasthAth kaNDakAdheen prasabham
pathiruddhyavAn). You adorn on the upper portion of Your body , the
YanthrikA, which creates the shadow for protecting the upper surface
of Your Lord's tender feet ( amushmin PaadhE uchitha chAyAm prathikam
uparyapi dhaarayathi)...(V.S)
