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
