Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

757. Bharathashirasi lagnAm pAdhukE! dhUrathasthvAm
svathanumapi vavandhE lakshmaNa: shEShaBhUtha:
kimidhamiha vichithram nithyayuktha: siShEvE
dasharaThathanaya: san ranganATha: svamEva

Oh Paaduka! When You were seated on the head of Bharata, Lakshmana on 
approaching (while returning from the forest), paid obeisance to You 
even from a distance onwards, even though he was a Sesha (and an 
avatara of Sesha), whose another incarnation is Yourself. This is 
nothing strange: Lord Ranganatha, in His incarnation as Rama, 
performed respectful services to Himself!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOakam 757

1)UtthamUr Swamy:Oh PadhukE! When You returned from the forest to
NandhigrAmam , You were worn by BharathA on his head to unite You with
Your Lord. LakshmaNa , who is Your other form tenderly bowed to You
even from distance. Was n't that strange that LakshmaNa
(AdhisEshAvathAran) offered salutations to himself ( AdhisEshan
incarnated as PaadhukA) then ? It really is not that strange.
Did n't Raamachandra , who is none other than Lord RanganAtha
worship latter as the titular deity of the family of Raghus?
When the elder brother Himself worshipped Himself in AyOdhyA,
it is not surprising that the younger brother Lakshmana saluted
his other form , the PadhukA at Nandigram.

2)SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that
when PerumAL and Nithyasooris incarnate in this world,
they perform duties prescribed by SaasthrAs just like
any other humans and reject those that are not recomended
by the SaasthrAs to show the people of the world , the need for
being obedient to SaasthrAic dictates by every one.

3)Oh PaadhukE! When LakshmaNa saw from a distance the Paadhukais
being carried on top of BharathA's head , he bowed to them
( SeshabhUtha: Lakshmana: Bharatha sirasi lagnAm ThvAm
SVATANUMAPI dhUratha: vavandhE). There is nothing strange
in that ( iha idham kim vichithram?).The ever-so-careful
RaamachanadrA offered salutations to Himself(RanganAthA) ,
when He incarnated as Raamachandran , the son of King
Dasaratan( Nithya-yuktha: RanganATa: DasaraTatanayassann
SVAMEVA SESHIVE)..(V.S).
