Oh PaadukE! Brahma and the other prajapatis,

who are endowed with the right of presenting You

to Lord, as He starts on His sportive walk,

bring You on their heads and join You with

the Lord's feet.

Special Notes By V.Satakopan(v.S):

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

 

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam:

 

Oh PaadhukE! Brahma and others have assigned rights

to carry You on their heads and bring You to RanganAthA's

chambers , when He is ready to start on His sanchArams .

They unite You to the Lord's lotus feet duirng those

occasions , When He wants to roam around His world.

 

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: A fortunate One

wore You on His head.He acquired the boon of Brahma

pattam (status).PerumAL had to go on a sanchAram

thereafter.The One , who was elevated to the padhavi

of BrahmA united the Paadhukais with the lotus feet

of the Lord.

 

(3) Swamy Desikan addresses the Paadhukais here

as " Utthama PaadhukE " . They are indeed noble

Paadhukais , since they belong to PurushOtthaman.

Those PrAptha adhikAris ( those who have realized

Brahma Padham) have you as the aabharaNam for

their heads. When their Lord wants to commence

on His sanchAram for pleasure, they unite You

(samyOjayanthi) with the Lord's lotus feet

( angri SarOja yugmE thvaam SamyOjayanthi)..V.S
