Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 215. sarvathasthvadhaBhiShEkavAsarE samyagudhDhruthasamasthakaNtakE rAGhavasaya vipinEShu pAdhukE! yathrakAmagamathA vyavasThithA Oh Paaduka! Hardly had You been crowned here, heralding the total extirpation of thorns (=bad elements like the rakshasas), when Rama's passage through the forest became smooth. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(VS): ********************************** 1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Oh PaadhukE! On the same day , when You completed Your coronation ceremony , RaamA was rid of all his foes and was able to wander in the forest without any hindrance from His enemies. The two key words in this verse are: "Kandaka Uddhrutham " and " Yathra kAma gamanam ". Kandakaa means thorns as well as the obstacles that interfere with the accomplishment of one's mission .BhagavAn has the name of "Yataa Kaamaka gamanan " or the One whose passage or movement is unobstructed .Swami Desikan says here that the day of coronation of the PaadhukAs marked the occasion , when RaamA felt secure about the well-being of AyOdhyA and its citizens and moved at will to pursue the purpose of His incarnation without any distracting thoughts about the safety of the citizens of AyOdhyA and the land of Utthara kOsalam . (2)Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! As a result of Your coronation , the world was rid of enemies and thorns . That permitted RaamA to move in the forest without any worry. The inner meaning is that Swamy NammAzhwAr's avathAra mahimai and the power of his UpadEsam caused the people to abandon their inauspicious attributes like Kaamam , KrOdham et al and permitted them to reflect on PerumAL without let . (3) It was the day of coronation (abhishEka- vaasaram )for the Paadhukais. From that day onward ,all the forest paths ( the entire world) was free of thorns ( amangaLams/inauspiciousness). Raaghavan was able to wander anywhere he wished in the forest without any hindrance ...VS
