Oh Paaduka! The Lord wearing You enters the yagashala, with Your

melodious sound taking the role of stotra and sastra for the Homa,

the Havis of which is meant for none else except Him. There He

partakes of teh Havis standing on You, that are like the very Veda.

 

Namo Narayana,

SlOkam 453:

 

Special Notes by V.Satakopan (V.S):

 

(1) Sri UthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! When Lord RanganAtha

enters the Yaaga Saalaa to recieve the offerings of those performing

Yaagams , He is followed by the Vedaas.You transport the Lord

on Your back to these sites. The Naadham arising from You on these

occasions sounds like eulogies (sthOthrAs) and attribute descriptions

(SasthrAs) associated with the three savanaas(Rite of Soma Juice

squeezing) prescribed for Dawn, Noon and Evening ".

 

Soma YaagAs are performed with the offering of SomA Juice pressed from

the SomA plant to the accompaniment of Saama ghAnam (SthOthrams);

the recitation of Sasthra Manthrams (straight forward recitation of

Veda mnathrAs without singing as in the case of Saama ghAnam )

is performed by the Hothru priests.Both SthOthrAs and SasthrAs

are recited by the two classes of priests.Both SthOthrAs and

SasthrAs announce as to whom the Havis is being offered. Swamy

Desikan says that the Naadham generated by the PaadhukAs are

like the SthOthram and Sasthram recitations heard during

the Savana ceremony at Lord's Yaaga Saalai.

 

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The great Vedic scholars

perform Yaj~nam recognizing that Your Lord is the Supreme

One and they offer exclusively Havis for Him. Your Lord arrives

at their Yaaga SaalAs wearing You to recieve that Havis.

The Naadham generated by You at those times of travel

remind one of Veda Manthrams ( SthOthrams and Sasthrams)

praising the Lord's anantha kalyANa GuNams.

 

(3) Oh PadhukE! The VedhAs are at Your Thiruvadi(anugatha

nigamAm) , while they prostrate before Your Lord. With this

Vedha Sambhandham , You transport Your Lord to the Yaaga

Saalais to recieve the Havis exclusively intended for Him

( anithara vibhudhArhAm Havyam aasvAdhayishyan RanganAtha:).

The Naadham generated by You during those times of travel

remind us of the Savaneeya Veda Manthrams (SthOthram of

Saama Vedam and the Sasthram of the other Vedams)...(V.S).
