Oh Paaduka! You were now worn by those worthy Feet of the lovable

king, and it added a new charm

to those feet the citizens, who saw the coalescence and rejoiced adn

fell down prostrate in

deference, showered tears of joy on You, in a manner of a second

abhisheka to one who had

already been annointed and crowned.

 

Namo Narayana,

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

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

 

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

When You were aabharaNam for the Lord's Thiruvadi

and continued Your traditional service , the citizens of

AyOdhyA fell at RaamA's feet and were overjoyed at seeing

You there.They bathed You once again , but this time with

their happy tears over Your reunion with Your Lord's feet.

 

2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! The citizens of

AyOdhyA were waiting longingly to have again the darsanam of

RaamachandrA in union with You . When the Lord adorned You ,

they felt like they were born again and attained a high

state of happiness. Tears rolled down form their eyes

and performed a second pattAbhishEkam for You .

 

3) " thvAm aanandha bhAshpa salilai: puna:abhyashincchan "

is Swamy Desikan's description of what happened at

AyOdhyA , when the citizens saw their Lord united with

His paadhukAs after many years of seperation . The citizens

shed copius tears of Joy , which fell over the paadhukAs

as they prostrated before their Lord adorned with the PaadhukAs.

The Paadhukais had already received the coronation bath

from Sage VasishTA with waters collected from holy rivers.

Hence ,this was the second coronation bath for

the PaadhukAs...V.S
