Oh Paaduka! When the Lord rises from Adisesha couch and sets His Feet

on You for the sake of the world welfare, the Devas follow behind as

Slokam 300 :

 

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

When RanganAthA woke up from His rest on AdisEshA and united with You

for responding to the pleas of the devotees , You carried Him quickly

to all the sites , where the devotees were assembled. The positions of

the devAs were protected from their enemies at the very moment , when

Your journey started. Those devotees , who followed You got rid of all

the dangers that loomed ahead of them without any efforts on their

parts. Such is Your glory!

 

2). Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! PerumAL was resting

on AdhisEshA. He left that comfortable bed and engaged on SanchAram on

Your back to protect the world and its beings . DevAs followed Him in

these sanchArams. Their status got protected as a result .

 

3). Oh PaadhukE! Your Lord placed His feet in You for sanchArams

to protect the world from dushtAs ( Loka hEthO: thvayi padhE nyastha :

). What happened next ? The DevAs ran after the Lord moving swiftly on

Your back. They were joyuous in running after the Lord and Yourself

Carrying Him ( Tvath anudhAvana tathparA: ). What happened to their

ranks and positions as they were engaged in the act of running after

You and Your Lord ? They were protected from any harm that might arise

due to their absence from their seats ( SvargoukasAm padhAni sadhya:

vipadhAm apadham bhavanthi)… V.S
