Sri:
SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,
Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:

173. pAdhukE raGhupathoU yadrucChayA
prasThithE vanavihArakoUthukAth
ADhirAjyamaDhigamya thE yuvAm
akshatham vasumathImarakshatham

Oh Twin-Paadukas! Rama departed on His march to the woods 
unexpectedly; after giving You both to Bharata, 
He proceeded further enthusiastically. Both of You
could not follow Him though You wished, But then 
You returned to receive the Royal throne of
the Kosala country which you ably protected. 
(It looks as though You were representatives
of the two brothers.)

Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

(1)Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Oh Raama PaadhukE ! 
Just as BharathA acquired the benefit of the royal
insignia( shade of the white umbrella )accidentally ,
You also got authority over the Kosala KIngdom 
suddenly. RaamA was on His way to DhaNdakAraNyam 
with You . Unexpectedly , BharathA arrived at 
ChithrakUtam and begged for Your Lord's return
to AyOdhya . Right there, without any premeditation ,
RaamA appointed You as His representative to rule 
the earth with abundant wealth and asked You 
to return to AyOdhya with Bharathan .That is how You
acquired the Lordship over Kosala nation .

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam : Oh PadhukE !
Raaman left suddenly for the Forest . At that time 
of chaos , You accepted responsibility for protecting
the kingdom and its anxious citizens. The inner meaning is 
that sadAchAryAs do not give up one , even if PerumAL stays
away from them .

(3)The beauty of the choice of words by Swamy 
Desikan here to celebrate the protection given by
the Paadhukais to the Raajyam is very moving :
" YuvAm aadhirAjyam adhigamya Vasumatheem 
AKSHATHAM ARAKSHATHAM "."Akshatham " means 
without any blemish; " arakshatham " means
protected (i-e) the kingdom and the citizens
were protected without any failing . The genius
of Swamy Desikan in his choice of words is 
astounding ...V.S
