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

185. nivEshya rangEshvarapAdharakshE!
BhadrAsanE sAdharamaBhyaShinchath
vashI vasiShtO manuvamshajAnAm
mahIkshithAm vamshapurOhithasthvAm

Oh Ranganatha-Paaduka! The traditional priest of 
the Manu race, Sage Vasishta, a self-conquered
one, performed Your coronation, with special regard 
and consideration. (He bore in mind that You are not 
just a scion of the race, but a Deity worshipped by 
that race for long.)(Ranganatha was the family Deity 
for the Raghu race).

Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

(1) Oh PaadhukE ! Sage VasishtA , the royal
purOhithA for the Manu Vamsam conducted 
the PattAbhishEkam and the coronation bath
for You with great affection in the saasthraic
manner . Sage VasishtA , the leader among 
the Yogis and a great devotee of Sri RanganAthA
seated You on the BhadrAsanam of the Manu dyansty 
kings during the abhishEkam ceremonies. Sage VasishtA
was fully aware of the fact that the PadhukAs of
Sri RanganAthA , the presiding deity of the Manu
Vamsam , are the same as those of RaamA. Hence , 
Sage VasishtA had no qualms over performing 
pattAbhishEkam for the PadhukAs of RaamA ,
his disciple.

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Sage VasishtA ,
who had a deep understanding of the prabhAvam of
the Raama Padhukais seated them on the simhAsanam
of the IshvAku kulam and performed pattAbhishEkam
for them .

(3) Here Swamy addresses the Paadhukais specifically 
as "RangEswara PaadharakshE " . In the previous 
slOkam , Swamy was referring to RaamA Paadhukais ,
which was the embodiment of Paaratanthryam . Sage
VasishtA saluted by Swamy Desikan as "Vashi" had
full awareness of the fact that Raama Paadhukais 
in Vibhavam was the same as the RanganAtha Paadhukais
in Archai. Sri Ranganathan was worshipped by 
RaamA during His vibhavAthAram .Thus , " manu vamsajAnAm 
mahikshithAm purOhithA ", VasishtA performed PattAbhishEkam 
for the Raama Paadhukais as the Sri Ranganaatha Paadhukais ,
with great reverence and affection ...V.S
