Oh Paaduka! You secure for us all hitherto-not-acquired rewards and

also take efforts to keep all our acquisitions safely secure in our

possession. What is more, You help us attain the Lord Ranganatha's

abode. You are thus our Yoga and Kshema, won by us by our past Punyas.

 

*(Yoga=acquisition of new possessions

* Kshema=retention of what is acquired)

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

 

SlOkma 779

 

1) UthamUr Swamy's anubhavaam: Oh Paadukais! The fruits

that result from Your worship are Yoga and KshEma.To YOur

devotees , You manifest as Yoga and KshEma. Yoga is obtaining

that was unattainable until then. KshEma is retaining that

which was obtained through Your blessings in the first place.

Since both the results are from You , Your devotees consider

Yoga and KshEma are PaadhukAs themselves.Thanks to our good

fortune, You both have taken the form of Yoga and KshEma.

 

2)Srimath Andavan's anubhavam :The inner meaning is that

SadAchAryAs confer the eihika (this worldly ) and aamushmika

( the other worldly ) Sukhams to those , who seek their

protection.

 

3)Oh PaadhukE! You both grant the sacred feet of Lord

RanganAtha directly ( Ranga-kshithipathi padham sAkshAth

sAdhayanthyau yuvAm). You confer on us yOgam , that which

was not acquired until now( na: aprApthAnAm sampadhAm

prApthim upajanayaTa:). Again , You strive towards our

kshEmam , the protection of those blessings obtained

earlier ( puna: samprApthAnAm paalanArTam svayam yathETE).

As a result of our poorva janma sukruthams (SucharithavasAth),

You both stay in the form of Yogam and KshEmam ..(V.S).
