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

Oh Paaduka! Vasishta, son of Brahma, infused into the waters used for 
the abhisheka greater power through the Atharva mantras and his own 
excessive discipline, so as to wash away the stigma that had tainted 
the Solar race.

Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Oh PaadhukE!
The Atharva Vedha ManthrAs are very important for 
the coronation ceremony .Hence , Sage VasishTA recited 
many Atharva Vedha manthrams to generate the power and
strength associated with many religious observances(vrathAs).
The waters inculcating these manthrAs appeared as though
they washed away the deficiency of not having a descendent
of Soorya vamsam on the throne. Swami Desikan points out 
that the very same powerful Sage VasishTA used one set of
manthrAs from one VedhA for the birth of RaamA and 
His brothers and another set of ManthrAs from a different 
VedhA to empower the coronation waters for the PadhukAs.

(2) Srimath Andava's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! When RaamA 
left for the forest , there was arAjakam and lot of troubles
arose due to that gap in the occupancy of the throne after
DasarathA passed away. To destroy those inauspicious events,
the grat sage, VasishTA observed many vrathams and empowered
them with powerful Vedha manthrams as a apart of Your 
pattAbhishEkam .The inner meaning is the people of 
the world suffer, when there are no SadAchAryAs to
perform upadEsam on Tattva -Hitha -PurushArthams.
When sadAchAryAs are worshipped with sincere devotion,
the ill sof the world will disappear. It is indeed in
this context , one has to understand the YogAbhyAsam of 
AchArya Naatha Muni to have the darsanam of Swamy 
NammAzhwAr at THirukkuruhUr and receive from him 
the dhivya prabhndhams and sakala sAsthrams to banish
the sorrows of this world.

(3) Swamy Desikan saya that there was a kaLangam 
/dhainyam(azhukku in Tamil) in the garment of 
Soorya Vamsam due to the painful circumstances leading to
the departure of RaamA to forest .That blemish had 
to be cleansed .Swamy Desikan states that the austere 
Sage VasishTA washed away that blemish with the waters 
made potent by the consecration with atharva Vedha 
manthrams (ambhubhi: Dinakarakula DHAINYAM 
kshALayishyan , AtharvaNEshu manthrEshu --sakthim 
aadhatha khalu )...V.S
