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

194. ahnAya rAmavirahAth pariKhinnavrutthE:
AshvAsanAya BhavatI maNipAdharakshE!
teerThABhiShEkamapadhishya vasunDharAyA:
chakrE thadhA samuchitham shishirOpachAram

Oh Paaduka! The land suffered the separation from Rama; 
Bharata too did not accept the throne; You presumably 
wished to render a cooling service to relieve this 
grief of the land. You therefore, adopted the coronation 
abolution ritual as a pretext so that the land, the people, 
could get so soothening a relief from the waters of abolution 
that will not be available by any other process.

Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! 
You were not keen on having the coronation bath .
Mother Earth however was suffering from the heat
of separation from Raamaa at that time. This was when 
BharathA had asked for Your return to AyOdhyA to rule
over this earth in RaamA's name . You looked at Mother
Earth and recognized that Her suffering and anguish 
can not be sustained for another fourteen years, until
RaamA returned from His vana Vaasam to take over 
the reins of the kingdom. Therefore, You decided 
to accept the coronation bath , the waters of which
quenched the heat and reduced the suffering of 
the ailing Mohter Earth.

(2)Oh PaadhukE ! You used the excuse of PattAbhishEkam
to remove the sorrow of Bhumi dEvi resulting from Her 
separation from RaamA . For this purpose , you performed
cool upachArams for Her . The inner meaning is that 
the nithya sooris and PerumAl descend on this earth
only for the benefit of the citizens of the world . 

(3) Swamy Desikan points out that the Paadhukais
performed appropriate , cooling upachArAms (Samuchitham
sisirOpachAram chakrE ) such as the moistenig of
the earth with the cool waters of PattAbhishEkam. 
This led to the comforting (AasvAsanam ) of 
VasundharA ( Bhumi PirAtti) , who was suffering
from the pangs of separation from RaamA ( Raama-virahaath 
parikhinna vrutthE: VasundharAyaa: aasvAsanam).The coronation
and the abolution with the sacred waters was an excuse
for the cooling upachArams (abhishEkam apadhisya 
samuchitham sisirOpachAram )done for reducing 
the thApam of VasundharA....V.S
