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

204. thava viDhivadhupAtthE sArvaBhoUmABhiShekE
BharathasamayavidBhi: pAdhukE! manthrimuKhyaI:
thvadhavaDhinijakarmasThAyinInAm prajAnAm
praThama yugavishEShA: prAdhurAsan vichithrA:

Oh Paaduka! When Your coronation as supreme empress was solemnized by 
the Ministers, in accordance with the rules of procedure, but as per 
the specific wish of Bharata*, dedicating the rituals to Your 
pleasure, this being the ultimate in spiritual status, the ordained 
Dharmas pertaining to Kritayuga, in a wide variety, were performed by 
people.

*The Paaduka was the force controlling all worlds OR The usual
hailing format was "May the Paaduka's reign last till Rama returns!" 
OR Perform all rituals as Paaduka-arpanam.

Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukhE! 
When the ministers of DasarathA understanding fully
BharathA's reverence for You , conducted Your coronation
ceremony , offered their worships and saluted You .
They hailed You to have an auspicous rule until Your
Lord returned home from His exile.The auspiciousness 
arising from your rule kept all the VarNAs and asramAs 
in tact. All the citizens observed their assigned duties 
with enthusiasm. The special blessings of the first of 
four yugAs (time divisions) , Kritha yugA was abundantly 
present in the activites of all the citizenery . They 
(the Ministers) served You as Lord RaamachandrA's 
designated representative. 

(2)Srimath Andavan's anubhavam : Oh PaadhukE! The ministers 
followed the instructions of Bharathan and made all 
the arrangements for Your coronation . At that time , 
the citizenery laid at the foot of Your throne, all
their karmAs as samarpaNam.It was thrEthA yugam then. 
Inspite of it , the piety of the SamarpaNams made 
the ThrEthA yugam look like the Krutha Yugam, where 
Sattvam is dominant.The inner meaning is that there is
no glorious time , which is more significant than 
the time in which SadAchAryAs are celebrated with
VisEsha bhakthi and reverence.It is customary
to perform Saathvika ThyAgam with the expression ,
"Sarvam KrishNArpaNam asthu". It would be better 
to adopt the practise of saathvikaThyAgam with
the statement " Sarvam PaadhukArpaNam asthu". 
It is much more beneficial to perform kaimkaryams
for the preethi of AchAryAs than even for the preethi
of PerumAL.

(3) Swamy Desikan describes the pattaabhishEkam performed 
by the chief Ministers at the behest of BharathA as
" SaarvabhoumAbhishEkam ". Due to that auspicious event,
the karmAs performed by the citizenery during PaadhukA 
Raajyam attained a status equal to that of of karmAs 
performed in Krutha Yugam ( Prathama yuga visEshA: 
prAdhurAsan)...V.S
