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

169. BhadhrAsanam chEth parivrutthamAsIth 
devi! kshaNam dakshiNatOmuKham thE
kaTham BhavEth kAnchanapAdharakshE!
ramasya rakshOmrugayAvihAra:

Oh Paaduka! Had You but trned the throne in the Southern direction 
for a while*, how could Rama's sportive hunting out of 
the Rakshasas have been achieved?

*=Had You thought of Yourself annihilating the Rakshasas

Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Queen !
Oh Golden PaadhukE ! Had Your throne faced 
the southern direction , You would have destroyed RaavaNA 
and his entourage quickly . That would have deprived RaamA of
His favorite sport .That is why adiyEn thinks that Your
throne did not face south . 

The other meaning is as follows: Had Your throne faced 
South , it would not be auspicious for You to sit on it.
There would have been no rulership over AyOdhyA . Raamaa
would have to abandon his favorite sport of hunting 
RaavaNA and his cohorts and thereafter return to AyOdhyA
to take charge of the kingdom. That (RaamA not being
able to hunt down RaavaNA ) in turn would have perpetuated
the sufferings of the devAs.Therefore , Your throne did not
face the southerly direction even for a second. Consequently ,
the dEvAs moved about freely and Raama avathAra
KaaraNam was fulfilled .

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is
that PerumAl is angry only at those , who do not
seek a sadAchAryan .His nigraham is directed only
at those unfortunate ones.

(3) Swamy Desikan tellingly chose the word , "BhadhrAsanam"
to salute the simhAsanam on which the Padhukai sat . 
The auspicious Vedic implications of the word " Bhadhram "
has been discussed at length by HH prakrutham 
Azhagiya Singar recently . The Raama Padhukai sat
on the BhadrAsanam to hear the auspicious news 
( Bahdhram KarNEpi srunuyAma:) of Lord Raamachandra
completing His hunt of RaavaNA in the southern land
of LankA and returning home to reunite with it. Meanwhile ,
the Paadhukai did not want to do anything that will interfere
with such a desire ..(V.S ).
