Oh Manipaaduka! Your steps that decide Lord Ranganatha's lovable

walking gait, that are designed to suit each of the forms that He

takes as Vyooha (Vasudeva, etc;, or Kesava etc.) or Vibhava (Matsya.

etc.) or in a large collection (namely, of sixteen thousand gopa

damsels in Krishna avatara) function like the Lord in giving

life-sustenance to all the three worlds.

 

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

 

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

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

 

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

You suit Yourself appropriately and decorate

the Lord's sacred feet. The unitary Para VaasudEvan

splits into the four subsequent forms of VaasudEA ,

SankarshNA , PradhyumnA and AniruddhA during

the state of VyUhA in parama Padham (Supreme

abode of the Lord).During that occasion, You

divide from the state of being one pair to

four pairs and decorate the feet of the four

Vyuha Moorthys. When the VyUha Moorthys in turn

transform into ten incarnations of the Lord ,

You once again divide and serve every one of

those ten incarnations. You are never seperated

from Your Lord's feet during anyone of His

transformations. In this regard , You closely

follow Your Lord in all His activities and

nourish this world like Your Lord. This is

for Sure!

 

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: When the Lord

travels alone or travels in groups ,Paadhukai

accompanies Him and protects the Lord's lotus

feet and the World.

 

(3) Oh PaadhukE! You are deeply involved

and enjoy the assembly of successive plays

of the Lord in Para , VyUha , Vibhava and

other avathArams. You protect the Lord's

sacred feet as well as the three worlds..V.S

 

Namo NarAyaNAya !
