Those who place You on their heads even once with reverence become holy and they consider Svargam as narakam and join their AchArya GhOshti in Sri Vaikuntam as Muktha Jeevans . (2)The sacredness of the heads of those adorning the SaarngapANi's PaadhukhAs (SaarngiNa: PaadhukhE ) is indicated by decribing them as being next only to the Upanishads or Veda Siras in sanctity ( Upanishath anukalpai: utthamAngai: dhadhAna:). Swami Desikan salutes these bhAgyasaalis as " MahAntha: " . These great ones jump over Svargam by considering that as equivalent to narakam( narakimiva naakam ullangayantha:) in worth and enter the assembly of AchAryAs in Sri Vaikuntam , who had arrived there earlier ( PrAkthAanAnAm GurUNAm parishadhi NivisanthE )..
