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

 

SlOkam 796

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! You are like the basin

or trench for the tree of RanganAtha. The water from GangA residing

in RudrA's head flows in that trench , when Rudra bows before You

through bending of his head. Rudra irrigates the tree of the Lord

with Your help.

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PadhukE! You appear like the

irrigating feed canal for the Kalpaka tree. When Lord Siva bends down

to prostrate before the Lord, the GangA pravAham spills over and

flows along the feed canals of Paadhukais to nourish the Kalpaka tree

(the Lord).For pleasing the Lord, Sivan and others prostrate before

the Lord's Paadhukais.

 

3) Oh PaadhukE ! You serve as a feed canal for the Kalpaka tree of

Your Lord ( Bhavathee Madhudhvisha: paadhapasya aalavAlamiva bhAthi).

Near You is the bowed head of Siva holding the waters of GangA

that flows through You as the feed canal to irrigate the Kalpaka

tree , Your Lord ( yath sameepa vinathasya Soolina: mouLi-nimagnA

saariNi bhavathi)..(V.S).
