SrimathE RaamAnujAya nama:

125. avyAhathAm RaghupathE: vahatha: prathij~nAm 
amsAdhirOhaNarasE vihathE dharaNyA:
paadhannivruthya bhavathee MaNipaadharakshE
sparsam padhEna vigatha vyavadhAna khEdham 

Translation By U.Ve.Dr.V.N.VedAntha Desikan 
*********************************************

Oh PaadhukE ! You helped RaamA to keep His word 
(of going to the forest); but then Mother Earth's
longing to sit on His shoulders --RaamA bearing the duty of 
ruling over the Earth--was thereby obstructed ; however 
since You returned to AyOdhyA , You granted to Earth ,
the direct contact with the Lord's feet , Your intervention
( between the feet and the Earth being withdrawn).

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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swami's anubhavam:

Oh MaNi PaadhukE ! Bhoomi Devi wanted to have 
the physical contact with Her Lord RaamA . That was going 
to be possible , when RaamA was about to rest Her on His
shoulder after the planned coronation as the king of KosalA .
When those plans were disrupted and He started on His 
journey to the forest , You helped Bhoomi Devi to realize
Her wish. You left RaamA's lotus soft feet to accompany BharathA
and as a result , the Lord's feet came directly in contact
with You (Mother Earth) and gave You the direct physical 
contact that You longed for . You thus helped Bhoomi Devi
realize Her wish and united Her with Her Lord.

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam:

The inner meaning is that the AchAryAs would bear with
all kinds of difficulties to unite the Jeevan with
their Lord . Bhoomi Devi was longing to rest on the 
shoulders of Her Lord (RaamA). The boons given to KaikEyi
by DasarathA interfered . Next , Bharathan tried very hard 
to get Bhoomi Devi on the shoulder of his brother.That effort
did not succeed either. Oh PaadhukE ! Out of Your DayA ,
You detatched Yourself from the Lord's feet so that 
Bhoomi Devi can have her wish fulfilled through direct
sambhandham with Her Lord's feet .

(3) RaamA's vow was unalterable ( avyAhathAm prathij~nA).
He abdicated His claim to the throne of KoslA and opted
for the forest . As a result , Bhoomi Devi's desire to rest on 
the shoulder of Her Lord( RaghupathE: amsAdhirOhaNam) 
did not get fulfilled. Paadhukai returned to AyOdhyA
and as a result did not any longer stand between 
the Lord's feet and Bhoomi Devi and thereby facilitated 
the direct contact between the Lord's feet and Bhoomi Devi. 
Swamy Desikan explains this beautiful thought this way : 
" vigatha vyavadhAna khEdham padhEna SPARSAM prAdhAth "..V.S
