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
