NOTES BY V.SADAGOPAN (V.S):
***************************

(1)UttamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Queen KaikEyi desired that 
her son , BharathA should wear the bejewelled crown of
KosalA kings and rule AyOdhyA . RaamA fulfilled His 
step mother's wish through the gift of His bejewelled 
Paadhukhais , which have the power to rule the three
worlds. His father's promise to KaikEyi was also 
fulfileed through this act . 

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam : KaikEyi asked for two
boons from her husband DasarathA . With One , she wanted 
RaamA to go to forest and with the other, she wanted her own 
son to ascend the throne of Kosalaa kingdom . Besides fulfilling
the ardous task of going to the forest on exile , RaamA
wished to make His mother's heart happy and hence , He placed 
the bejewelled Paadhukhais on the head of BharathA . 

(3) Swamy Deikan addresses the Paadhukhais tenderly here as
" hEy Maatha: " (Oh My Mother )in the context of reference 
to the cruel KaikEyi , the foster Mother of Sri RaamA . 
The dutiful son, RaamA had fulfilled the wish of His
father , which was the most difficult command ( gariyasI
Vaakhyam ) and yet felt that He would like to do some
thing more to make His mother's heart even happier .Therefore ,
he gave His own bejewelled Paadhukhais as protection
for His brother , Bharathan . Swamy Desikan describes this
special act as " Maathu: manOratham ASESHAM avandhyayishyn".
RaamA did not want to leave any thing incomplete and hence 
he fulfilled His mother's wish totally . The act of
RaamA's placing His Paadhukhais on the head of BharathA
is described by Swamy Desikan as " MaNimouLi nivEsa 
LAKSHMEEM thEnE "( RaamA created the auspiciousness 
by placing His bejewelled paadhukhais on BharathA's head )..V.S
