SrimathE RaamAnujAya nama:

(152) raajyam tadhA DasaraThAnu Raamatha: prAk
BhibhrANayA CharaNarakshaNi ! vetha khEdham 
thulyAdhikAra bhajanEna BhabhUva dhanyO
vamsasthvayAnBha ! Manuvamsa MahIpathInAm 

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

Oh Mother PaadhukA ! You bore the monarchy , ofcourse ,
after DasarathA and before RaamA ; You did so effortlessly 
and removed the grief of all.; but then the Manu line 
acquired a great distinction -a fortunate one ( of all 
predecessors as well as successors of DasarathA ) 
being counted along with You ; it became a PaadhukA vamsam !

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

(1) Sri UthtamUr Swamy's anubhaavm : Oh Mother! 
Oh Lord's PaadhukA ! You ruled the kingdom of
the Manus between DasarathA and RaamA . By counting You 
as one of their kings , the whole lineage of Manu 
became famous. Both the predecessors and the successors
to You were proud to consider themselves as the rulers
of the PaadhukA raajyam and did not want to be known as
mere kings of Raghu Vamsam or Manu Kingdom . 

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Since the time of 
Your ascent to the throne of Manu , that vamsam 
acheived visEsha bhAgyam.The inner meaning is that 
our Sri VaishNava paramparai achieved unique distinction
by Swamy NammAzhwAr being our PrathamAchAryan.

(3) There were an illustrious line of kings
who belonged to Manu Vamsam such as Raghu , Dileepan 
and DasarathA . After DasarathA , there was immense 
sorrow all around that RaamA could not succeed 
his father immediately due to His promise to spend
the next fourteen years in the forest . Swamy Desikan
uses the powerful word "khEdham " to hint at the poignancy of 
the sorrow felt by the Citizens of AyOdhyA . "KhEdham "
means depression , dejection of spirits , distress ,
torment , fatigue and exhaustion . During that soul-
searching time , Sri Raama Paadhukais accepted the throne
to remove that "KhEdham " and the Manu Vamsam 
acquired distinct bhAgyam ( dhanya: BhabhUva)..V.S
