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
