Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:

824. anyEShu sathsvapi narEndhrasuthEShu dhaIvAdh
     BraShta: padhAdhaDhikarOthi padham padhArha:
     prAyO nidharshayathi thath praThamO raGhUNAm
     thathpAdhayO: prathiniDhI maNipAdhukE vA

There is a golden rule illustrated in the lives of Rama and Rama-
Paaduka; When one merits as his due post may miss him first but it 
will sirely reach him ultimately. Rama lost the crown by divine 
order, perhaps, but then none of his brothers could acquire it. He 
got it finally, as it was his dure, he being the eldest. So also the 
Paaduka missed the padam (Rama's foot) but it got the padam, namely, 
the office of the ruler of the kingdom.
  
Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
 
SlOkam 824
 
1) UtthamUr  Swamy's  anubhavam : Swamy  Desikan states here that one 
lOka neethi was established from the concepts of PaadhukA rAjyam and 
Raama Raajyam. He says: " Although there were other sons of DasaraTa, 
the blemishless Raama for no fault of His, lost the rights to the 
throne of Raghus. The PaadhukAs of RaamA, which are equal in merit to 
Him also underwent the same  experience, when they were sepearated 
from Him for fourteen years. " RaamA for no fault of His,  lost the 
chance to ascend the throne of Raghus due to the boons of KaikEyi. 
Similarly, the PaadhukAs eligible to be worthy of RaamA got seperated 
from their Lord for no fault of their own. Ultimately, RaamA ascended 
the throne and the PaadhukAs got united with RaamA's feet.
 
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Lord Raamachandra"s coronation at 
AyOdhya was stopped after it was well planned. Even if it was halted 
at that time, that crowning uthsavam for Him took place few years 
later. Even during the time of interruption, when His brothers were 
still eligible for ascending the throne, the Paadhukais became
fit to occupy the throne of Raghu vamsam.
 
3) Even if there were other sons (of King DasaraTa ) there (anyEshu 
narEndhra suthEshu sathsvapi ), the fittest one, who lost the 
opportunity to sit on the throne of His father due to dhaiva 
sankalpam ultimately ascended the throne ( dhaivAth padhAth 
brashta: , padhArha: padham adhikarOthi). This was demonstrated in 
the case of the greatest one of Raghu Vamsam (RaghUNAm PraTama:), 
Raamachandran . He could not ascend the throne due to dhaiva
sankalpam. His brothers were there at that time , when He had to give 
up His throne and yet the throne went to His Paadhukais  instead 
(Tath RaghUNAm PraTama: tath PaadhayO: prathinidhi  PaadhukE vaa 
nidarsayathi prAya:) ....(V.S).
