Additional Notes by V. Satakopan(V.S.)

 

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: " Oh Ratna PaadhukE! During my

last moments on this earth , please make my ears happy with Your

special naadham , when You bring RanganAthA close to me. During that

unique occasion , RanganAthA would be holding the hands of Sri Devi

and BhUmi Devi with His two hands . You should bring Him to me in

that way and please my ears with Your sweet sounds that would

announce the Lord's arrival with His Devis " . Swamy Desikan

indicates here that he would need the help of both the Devis to plead

his case tot he Lord. BhUmi Devi would appeal to Her Lord to put up

with the accumulated sins and not to get angry. Sri Devi would

recommend to her Lord to bless Swamy Desikan with Moksham.

 

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: For a long time, auspicious

sounds have not fallen on my ears. Oh PaadhukE! during the last

moments of my life , You must bring the Lord with His two Devis near

me and fill my ears with the sweet sounds of Your sanchAram.

 

(3) Oh PaadhukE! With Your delectable naadham ( manjuLai

PrANAdhai ), You must fill my ears. That experience will be like

enjoyable meals taken after fasting for my ears ( mama sravasO:

PaaraNAm) . You must bring the Lord holding the hands of Sri and

BhUmi devis ( RamayA , KshamayA dhattha hastham RangadhurINam

aanayETA during my last moments..(V.S).
