NOTES BY V.SADAGOPAN(V.S):

**************************

 

(1)UttamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Lord's PaadhukhE !

Thou art the embodiment of mercy and patience. Had You

stayed with RaamA , You would have forgiven RaavaNA

for his trespasses out of Your generosity to him and

would therefore have made it difficult for RaamA to

destroy RaavaNA . The objectives of Your Lord's avathAram

would then have suffered a set back . Leaving You

with BahrathA , RaamA was able to meet RaavaNA alone in

battle and destroy him for his inexcusable offenses

committed against the sages DevAs and SitA PirAtti .

 

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is

that those , who do not have a sadAchArya sambhandham

get destroyed .

 

(3)The glory of NammAzhwAr as Prapanna jana santhAna

kootasthar is being saluted here . As a sadAchAryan

par excellence , SatakOpar bears with the immense assembly

of aparAdhams committed by His sishya vargams ( PrabhutharAn

aparAdha vargAn sODum kshama asi). This NammAzhwAr does

by being the embodiment of forbearance ( Moorthimathi

Kshamaiva asi).
