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

181. pAhi na: pAdhukE! yasyA:
viDhAsyan aBhishechanam
ABhiShEchanikam BhANdam
chakrE rAma: pradakshiNam

Oh Paaduka! May You protect us! We recall that when Rama
circumambulated the religious collection of materials assembled, 
on the eve of His departure to the forest, He had visualized, 
presumably so, this event-namely, the coronation of Yourself now.

Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Oh PaadhukE ! RaamA 
did not want to have a coronation bath for Himself , but,
He wanted You to have that auspicious bath prescribed by
the sAsthrams.Therefore , He made a prathakshiNam 
(circumambulation ) on Your behalf of all the materials 
assembled for the abhishEkam (Coronation bath). May You ,
held in the highest esteeem by Your Lord , protect us ! 

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that
PerumAL honors the AchAryAs as equal to Himself and some times
even more than Himself . 

(3) This seventh of the 32 paddhathis is named as
"AbhishEka Paddhathi" by Swamy Desikan . This paddhathi
has 30 slOkams celebrating the Thirumanjanam for
the Paadhukais in the context of its PattAbhishEkam ..V.S

(4) On the eve of the PattabhishEkam day picked by
Sage VasishtA for Sri Raamachandran, He had to leave
for the forest as a result of His vow to His 
father to honor the two boons given by him to his wife,
KaikEyi. RaamA was not sad at all over this turn of events .
LakshmaNA however was very angry.During the dawn 
of the selected PattabhishEkam / Coronation bath day,
RaamA did not want the rich set of materials assembled
for His coronation to be wasted. He wanted to help 
some one dear to Him to benefit from those riches. RamaA
circumambulated therefore around the assembled saamagriyais 
on behalf of the Paadhukais to become the beneficiary
of the pattabhishEkam intended for Him ...V.S
