SrimathE RaamAnujAya nama: 

(155) prAyENa Raamaviraha vyaThithA tadhAnim
uthsangam aasrithavathI tava RaajyalakshmI:
taamEva Devi ! nanu jeevayithum jalArdhram
angIchakAra bhavathI BharathOpanItham 

Translation by Sri U.Ve. V.N.Venakatanathan Swamy 
***************************************************

Oh PaadhukA ! The kingdom almost swooned , when RaamA
left it. It was then received on Your lap and You 
revivified it by steps , including the wafting of 
the water-wetted fan. Is that not so?

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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Oh Mother! Oh Lord's 
sacred PaadhukE ! When Raajya LakshmI was grief stricken 
over RaamA's seperation , She landed on Your lap for without
consciousness.You accepted at that time the service of 
wet fan waving from BharathA to console Raajya Lakshmi . 
Swami Desikan refers here to the kaimkaryam that BharathA did 
with a scented fan sprinkled with medicinal waters to bring 
Raajya LakshmI back to consciousness. 

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam : Oh PaadhukE ! 
When Raajya Lakshmi fainted from the unbearable 
sorrow over RaamA's vana Vaasam ( exile to the forest) , 
She fell on Your lap . You comforted Her and revivified
Her through the acceptance of the Chaamara Kaimkaryam 
( Fan service)from BharathA . The inner meaning of this 
slOkam is that AchAryAs are not really looking for 
the devotion-filled Kaimkaryams from the SishyAs.
The AchAryAs however accept them in their role
as AchAryAs and for blessing the sishyAs with 
auspiciousness as commanded by their Lord , 
Sri RanganAthan .

(3) The sequence of steps are beautifully recorded
by Swamy Desikan from RaamA's departure to the forest,
the sorrow of Raajya lakshmi , Her fainting to
the restoration of Her consciousness through 
the PaadhukA's acceptance of chamara kaimkaryam 
by BharathA . With One choice word , "TadhAnIm " ,
(at that time) Swamy provides the context of Ramaa's 
departure for the forest . The rest of the following events
are swift in time scale (a) Raajya LakshmI Raama
Viraha VyaThithA ( Raajya Lakshmi suffered the pangs
of seperation form RaamA , Her protector); (b) She 
fell on Your lap in a state of unconsciousness ( Tava 
uthsangam aasrithavathI) ; (c) You brought her back
to consciousness ( thaam JeevayithumEva anghIchakaara).
How did You do It ? Although You could bring Her
back to consciousness directly, You accepted BharathA's
devoted fan service as a vyAjam in Your role as 
His AchAryan ( ThvAM BharathOpanItham jalArdhrAm prAyENa 
angIchakaara). BharathA was eager to serve You
and You accepted that Kaimkaryam for the benefit
of Raajya Lakshmi resting on Your lap..V.S
