Oh Paaduka! The holy waters that were poured on You

with appropriate Mantra chanting raised a combined sound,

loud enough to silence the unclear mutual words of

talking among the Kosala people in their grief

(over Rama's exit to the forest)

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(VS)

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

 

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

From the time of RaamA's departure for the forest

to the time of Your return to AyOdhyA with BharathA ,

the citizens of AyOdhyA were crying loud due to their

grief over separation from their Lord , Raamachandran.

Then , Your coronation took place. At that time ,

there were two sounds that were heard. One was the

splashing sound of the sacred waters as they fell

on You; the other was the majestic sound of the Vedha

manthrams recited by the assembled sages. Both sounds

combined together and chased away the sorrowful cries

of the citizens. The citizens sorrowed no more.

 

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PadhukE! The sounds of

the loud sobbings (pulambals in Tamil) were quelled by

the sounds of the Vedha ghOsham and the sounds

originating from the fall of the sacred coronation

waters on You . The inner meaning is that the fortunate

ones , who have been blessed with SadAchAryAs do not

sorrow over their separation form PerumAL , when

that happens.

 

(3) The " sankulAn aartha naadham ( collective

sorrowful sounds) of the citizens of AyOdhyA

were quelled by the dhvani of the sacred waters

falling on the Paadhukais and by the dhvani

from the properly accented intonations of

the Vedha manthrams used especially for

the consecration of the coronation waters ..VS
