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
