Oh Paaduka! When the holy waters used

as ablution to You fell on Mother Earth,

she experienced a sigh of relief,

coming to consciousness; because she

had fallen into swoon on Rama

repairing to the forest.

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

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

 

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh MaNi PaadhukE !

Bhoomi Devi had swooned as a result of being separated

from RaamA , when He left for the forest . When the holy

waters from Your coronation bath fell on Her, She heaved

a sigh of relief and regained Her consciousness. She became

consoled through the contact of the holy waters ,

which became holier through sambhandham with Your body .

 

(2)Srimath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! BhUmi

longed for the rulership of Raamachandran. When

RaamA left ofr the forest to fulfill His avathAra

kaaryam , She became very sad. When the holy waters

from the coronation of the Paadhukais fell on BhUmi ,

She became happy . The inner meaning is that we can

not enjoy the prsence of RaamA and KrishNA today

as during their Vibhava avathArams and the ArchA mUrthys

at the temples do not speak to us . But, the people are

happy that SadAchAryAs are here to speak with us to

overcome the sorrow of the Lord not being able to

speak with us directly.

 

(3) The " Uccvasitham " ( samanam or relief)of

the viyOga upatApam ( heat from the separation pangs)

of BhUmi is referred to here ; the relief to Her

from the samprayuktham of the Udhaka theertham

( the association with the sanctified waters )

form the PaadhukA PattAbhishEkam is also

celebrated here ..V.S
