SrimathE RaamAnujAya nama:

144: bhOgAnanya manasAm MaNipaadhukE thvam
pushNAsi hantha bhajathAm anushangasiddhAn
thEnaiva noonam abhavath Bharathasya SaadhO-
raprArhtitham tadhiha raajyam avarjanIyam 

Translation by U.Ve. V.N.VedAntha Desikan Swamy 
************************************************

Oh PaadhukA ! What a great kindliness You exhibit !
You grant to anyone -- who worships You in a single-
minded devotion , not looking for any reward -- not 
only the ultimate reward of Mukti , but also all 
incidental , unasked for worldly benefits .Your service 
was the only goal BharatA asked for , but then , 
the kingdom of Kosala came to him inevitably ,
even when unasked .

Specail Notes by V.Sdaagopan (V.S):
************************************

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Mani PaadhukE!
You confer on those dispassionate worshippers blessings
that they did not expect or want. This is due to Your
outstanding spirit of generosity . Others , who are
not devout , request such blesisngs and do not get them.
This is indeed strange! BharathA , the leader among 
the dispassionate did not ask for the rulership of
the kingdom of Kosala . He could not however avoid
it , when You blessed him with that(kingdom) on Your own 
accord. Swami Desikan points out here that the Lord 
will give earthly kingdoms to those , who seek them. 
His dearest devotees do not request perishable wealth ,
but request only service to Him . Lord out of His 
infinite affection gives not only Himself , but also 
other blessings as well , even if they were not of 
any particular interest to this special group of
devotees . 

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: 
*********************************
The inner meaning is that a sishyan , who seeks out
a sadAchAryan without any ulterior motive (prayOjanams)
and shows utter devotion to that SadAchAryan , the dharmArtha 
Kaamams pour in on that sishyan without asking for any 
thing .

(3) Swamy Desikan refers here about " anushinga siddhi "
or the blessings that arrive without seeking them . This 
happens , when one has Bhakthi to one's AchAryan
with single minded devotion .Then the wealth like
Raajyam come their way without asking ( aprArthitham ). 
and had to be accepted without spurning it (avarjanIyam)..V.S
