Dear Sadagopan,

Thanks for your as usual eloquent discription of the significance of the
number 32 in the Sri-Vaishnava Philosophy.
You said:
>>The  Sri Ranganatha Paaduka
>>>symbolizes for us the  Sri Satari that  we  wear on our head to get >>the
>>blessings of Nammazhwar, the Prapanna janakootastha. Acharya >>Ramanuja is

Parakala
>>Matam.    <<<<

What does SATARI actually mean?
I thought it means Nammazhwar,  and he got that name because of his anger
(Shatakopar) or animosity (Shat+ari=Shatari) towards the Shata Vayu (akin to
Shatamarshanar). I also thought we are placed on our head the Paduka of
Nammazhwar etched on a crown, which we refer to simple as Shatari. You wrote
Satari=foot rest. Please clarify.

Thanks,
K. Sreekrishna.
