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

 

SlOkam 734

 

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

the fragrance of the VedAs and are full of auspicious

qualities desired by every one. Heightened by Your sheen of

Gold , You possess the illustrious wealth known as Maadhava

and cause freedom from sorrow for us all the time .( The word ,

" Surabhi " of this verse has two meanings : fragrance or spring

season.If one uses the word Surabhi to denote the spring season ,

the verse glorifies the golden Paadhukais as having all the rich

attributes of this season.

 

2)SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! You are constituted by

Gold. You exude vedic fragrance. You possess all of the lofty

aathma guNams. You bless all those, who seek Your protection

with the full joy of mOksha Sukham.In this regard, You are like

the Lord Himself. The inner meaning is that the SadAchAryans are

like PerumAL Himself. For those , who approach them , SadAchAryAs

instruct them with the auspicious upadesams of the VedAs and

help them attain mOksham.

 

3)Oh PaadhukE! You have the Lord as Your wealth( Thvam

Maadhava SrI:); You have Vedic fragrance ( Thvam nigamai:

surabhi:); You have the loftiness of being golden ( Thvam

kanaka uthkarshavathee).You bless us always with the wealth of

the ever-radiant , sorrowless world ( Thvam na: anisa unnidhram

asOka vaibhavam disasi).Madhava SrI means the beauty of VaikAsi

month known for the blessings of the spring season (Surabhi:/vasantha

ruthu)with its blossoming AsOkA tree, SeNpakam and the songs of

nightingales...(V.S).
