Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:
851. AdhyO raGhukshithiBhujAmaBhiShEkadhIpthaI-
rApyAyithasthava padhAvani! rashmijAlaI:

(Oh Paaduka! The sun who is regarded as the founder of the (Solar)
race of the Raghus, could not attenuate the moon-lustre of the face
of Mandodari, out of fear, though he did so in the case of the
celestial moon in day-time). When once You were given the ceremonial
coronation bath, You shone in pristine effulgence from which the sun
derived a nourishment and courage and he could enfeeble the splendour
of the moon of the face of Mandodari, the wife of Ravana. Your
Abhisheka was the event that tolled the death-knell of the Rakshasa.

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
SlOkam 851
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! The primordial source
of the origin of the Kulam of Raghu is Sooryan . At the time of Your
coronation bath , You helped Sooryan to regain his energy through
the brilliant rays of Your rubies. He became rejuvenated and lost
his fear of RaavaNa as an indestructible ogre . This in turn made
Soorya dim the lustre on the moon-like face of MaNDOdhari ,
the principal wife of RaavaNa .( The Sun lends a portion of his
lustre to the Moon at night time .During the day time , Sun dims
the lustre of the Moon due to its own brilliance. Before the
coronation of the PadhukAs , Sooryan was full of fear of RaavaNa and
did not dare to diminish the lustre of the Moon-like face of
MaNDOdhari. Once the PaadhukA ascended the throne of Raghus , Sooryan
got confident that Raama will destroy RaavaNa . Sooryan shed his
fears and shone brilliantly and thereby diminished the lustre on
MaNDOdhar's face . The imagination of Swamy Desikan as
a poet par excellence is brought out here ).
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! Raghu Vamsam is
celebrated as Soorya Vansam. The aadhi purushan for that vamsam is
Sooryan , whose lustre got enhanced multifold from Your rubies . When
Your kaanthi mingled with His Kaanthi , He overcame all fears about
RaavaNa and dulled the mukha kaanthi of the Moon-like face of
MaNDOdhari (i-e) RaavaNan was dead . MaNDOdhari fell down in
the mid day Sun and her face lost its lustre and shrank.
3) Oh the protector of the Lord's Thiruvadi (PadhAvani) ! Sooryan
is the aadhi purushan/Founder of Raghu Vamsam ( Raghu-kshithi-bhujAm
aadhya: ). That Sooryan got enhancement of His lustre from the rays
of Your rubies after Your sacred bath ( Tava dheepthai: rasmi
jaalai: aapyAyitha: Tapana: ) . His fears were removed ( Bheethi:
vyapaneethavAn). Sooryan in the state of freedom from fears about
RaavaNan diminished the erstwhile Moon-like facial lustre of
MaNDOdhari ( ManDODhari vadhana chandramasa: mayUkhAn
mandheechakAra)....(V.S).
