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

225. praThayithum aBhiShEkam pAdhukE! thAvakInam
dhurithashamanadakshE dhundhuBhoU thAdyamAnE
sapadhi parigruhItham sADhvasam dhevi! nUnam
dashavadhanavaDhUnAm dhakshiNaIrnEthrakOshaI:

Oh Paaduka Devi! the dundubhi drum was beaten loudly; it was a 
sin-removing event over all places; it caused great fear in the 
harem-women if Ravana, evident in their right eyes throbbing.

Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

1) Oh PaadhukE ! After the sound of conches subsided 
during the time of Your coronation , huge drums known
as DhundhubIs were beaten in AyOdhyA .Giant reverbations 
from the beaten dhundhubhIs reached all the way to LankA ; 
immediately , the right eyes of the women of the harem of 
RaavaNA throbbed uncontrollably indicating impending 
disasters. 

2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! Skilled drummers 
beat on the huge drums at the conclusion of the blowing of
the conches during your coronation. Simultaneously , the right
eyelids of the wives of RaavaNA twitched uncontrollably.When
the women's right eye, thigh and hand throb , that is a sign
of imminent inauspiciousness .

3)The huge drums beat to glorify the great occasion
of the coronation of the PaadhukAs as well as to drive away
any lingering sins .Dhundhubhis are known for creating such
effects. In addition to these known effects, the gigantic 
sounds arising out of the dhundhubhis caused some thing 
else at the harems of RaavaNan at LankA. The eye lids of
the wives of RaavaNA twitched uncontrollably at the same
time , when the big drums sounded at AyOdhyA. The fear
was generated in the hearts of the wives of RaavaNA
about the imminent disaster to their status as sumangalis.
Swamy Desikan states : Dasavadhana vadhUnAm dakshiNai:
nEthrakOsai: saadhvasam parigruhItham ( The right eyes of 
the wives of RaavaNA twitched uncontrollably and acquired
fear about impending disasater)...V.S
