SrimathE RaamAnujAya nama : (160) antha:purE parijanai: samayOpayAthai: abhyarchithA bhavasi yaa vinayOpapannai: saa KosalEswara PadhAvani BhUpathInAm sangaDDanam makuta pankthibhi: anvabhUsthvam Meaning by Sri U.Ve.V.N.VedAntha Desikan: ****************************************** Oh Raama PaadhukE ! You who on Your visits to the interior parts of the palace, used to be respectfully enquired about and treated to utmost hospitality , happen to be rubbed against by the crown of competing royal personages ( who wish to pay homage to You in great perturbation ). Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): ************************************ (1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Holy Paadhukais of the Lord of Kosalaa ! You were worshipped by SitA Devi's servants , when Your Lord Visited His domestic quarters to enjoy the company of His wife . Today , You bear patiently the collisions of the crowns of the kings that prostrate before You to receive Your blessings. You were placed on the soft silken garments by the servants of SitA Devi in Her quarters and received their worship in those days; now, You receive the worship of BharathA , the citizens and the assembled kings. Your worship continues always. (2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! When You were in the inner quarters of the palace, the servants there offered their worship without public display. Now , You are sitting publicly on the throne for all to see and the crowns of Kings touch You . In vibhavam at AzhwAr Thirunagari , Swamy NammAzhwAr was seated by himself deep in meditation . When he has taken the archA form , assemblies of people come and worship him in throngs. AzhwAr is worshipped since he belongs to the great AchArya paramparai of Sriman NaarAyaNan . (3) Inside the palace , discrete worship by the servants took place ; in the throne room , public worship involving the vigorous prostrations by the crowned heads took place.Swamy Desikan chooses a colorful word here to describe the encounter between the crowns adorning the heads of the jostling kings prostrating before the Paadhukais on the throne . Sangattanam is the word chosen and it means rubbing together or close contact or the embrace between affectionate ones..V.S
