In one of the Kali yugam related audios Swamy was advocating BhAgavatha PAtha Dhuli.

While thinking in those lines, we don’t see animals esp. forest animals wear footwear. Only humans wear footwear.

While humans were getting used to “maravadi”, when did we start understanding “maravadi” as PAdukA?

Sometimes adiyen used to think all chappals in front of temple are BhAgavatha PAdukAs. After few moments the thought subsides to become chappal back again.

While Swamy Desikan thought the chappal garland as BhAgavatha PAdukA mAlA consistently.

When does a pAda Raksha gets upgraded to PAdukA?
