Srimathe Ramanujaya nama:

RaamathyAgasahai: asahya viraham RangakshthIndrasya tath
PaadhathrANam ananya tantra phaNithE: aapIDam IdImahi 

Translation by Sri V.N.Venaktanathan Swamy
*******************************************

May we praise the PaadhukA of RanganAthA , -which
was brought to AyOdhyA by BharathA of kindly 
heart , so as to bring light into the darkness
enshrouding the country as a result of KaikEyi's 
demands having been met, -whose separation 
can hardly be sustained by the people , even 
if they could bear Rama's seperation , and 
-which is the head ornam,ent of the Veda damsel.

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

(1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Let us offer our 
worship to the sacred PaadhukAs of RanganaathA and 
sing its glory with noble words. DasarathA's pledge to
KaikEyi resulted in RamA's leaving for the forest 
to enable BharathA to become the king of AyOdhyA .
During those sad days following Rama's exit to the forest,
the citizens of AyOdhyA suffered and their days were 
without any hope. They despaired day and night. BharathA
removed the despair of the citizens by bringing 
Rama PaadhukAs back to AyOdhyA . The citizens, who could 
even stand the suffering of separation from RamA could not
accept their separation from their dear PadhukAs . 
The citizens with BharathA went to ChithrakUtam and 
brought back the PaadhukAs , since they could no longer live
without them. May we salute theis auspicious PaadhukAs of
the Lord of Srirangam ! 

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning of this 
slOkam is: People comprehend Isvaran through the upadEsam
of SadAchAryAs and achieve auspiciousness. The people 
suffer , when they have to be separated from their
AchAryAs . May adiyEn receive the anugraham of such
AchAryAs !

(3) Swamy Deikan offers his salutations to
the Paadhukais of Sri RanganAtha That are eulogized by
the Upanishads . He points out that these sacred
Paadhukais of the Lord were brought back to AyOdhyA
by the good-minded BharathA ( Bhavya-manasA BharathEna 
LOkasya ThrANArtham SaakEtham aanIyatha) for 
the protection of the world. Swamy salutes 
the Upanishads,which are veda Siras with 
an unusual phrase :ananyatantra PhaNithE: AapIDam . 
He explains the aapourushEyam ( not composed by 
any author )nature of the Vedam (phaNithE:)with 
the word , "ananya tanthram" .Upanishads are 
the sirOrathnam/and decorative gem (aapIDam) . 
What is that sirOrathnam adorning the head of 
the VedAs ? Upanishds that salute the Lord's 
Paadhukais by adorning them are the 
SirObhUshanam .. V.S
