SrimathE RaamAnujAya nama:

124. abhyupEtha vinivrutthi saahasA
Devi Rangapathi rathna paadhukE 
athyasEtha bhavathee maheeyasA 
paaratanthrya vibhavEna Mythileem 

The translation by U.Ve.Dr.V.N.VedAntha Desikan Swamy
*******************************************************

Oh PaadhukA Devi! You did a daring job of returning to
AyOdhyA , when RaamA wished it ; thereby You displayed 
a greater implicitness of obedience than SitA to
RaamA's words. 

Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
****************************

(1)Sri UtthamUr Swamy 's anubhavam: Oh MaNi PaadhukE !
You are even better than SitA in that You obeyed 
RaamA immediately and returned to AyOdhyA . SitA argued with
Her Lord , when He asked Her to stay behind in AyOdhyA ,
when He had to depart for the forest . She won the argument 
and as a result She accompanied Him to the forest . You 
on the contrary submitted to the will of the Lord and agreed to 
return to AyOdhyA to comfort BharathA .RaamA walked back
with You for considerable distance at ChithrakUtam to see
You off out of His regard for You.

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukA Devi ! when
RaamA suggested to SitA that She stay behind during His
Vana Vaasam (exile in the forest) , SitA protested and
spoke some harsh words and refused to stay behind .She 
joined the Lord in His exile . Your Lord ordered You to return 
to AyOdhyA with BharathA and You obeyed that command 
instantly . In this matter Your obedience to the Lord's
command is superior to that of SitA Devi .The inner meaning is 
that SitA Devi is very obedient to Her Lord; the AchAryAs
are even more obedient .When some one transcends the commands
of the Lord laid out in His Saasthrams , the Lord punishes
them . The AchAryAs bear with the apachArams of the jeevans and 
struggle hard to set them right . AchAryALs will even 
abandon their Lord to save the erring jeevans. SitA PirAtti
went to LankA with her husband to protect the world 
from the terror caused by RaavaNA .That is why She
disobeyed Her Lord.

(3) Here Swamy Desikan addresses the Paadhukais as
" Devi " here since he will be comparing the reaction
of PaadhukA Devi with that of SitA Devi to their Lord's
command . The obedience ( Paaratanthryam ) to their
Lord's command is compared here and Swamy Desikan 
declares in the matter of obeying the Lord's command,
whether it was right or wrong , PaadhukA Devi won 
and therfore She is superior to SitA pirAtti . Swamy salutes
the paadhukai's act of leaving RaamA's feet as "Saahasam "
or the accomplishmnet of an Imposisble task ...V.S
