Dear Sriman Padmanabhan,

Nice to see the posting. From the words of Azhwars, it is clear that 
jIva does not have any swAtantryam and kartrtvam as u have quoted the 
vyAkhyAnam, and evry happening is due to Him. Thus, it is the Lord 
Who really cut the nose and ears of SUrpaNakhA thru lakshmaNa. 
Similarly it is the Lord Who burnt the lankA, say AzwhArs - I do not 
know the exact pASuram.

perumALadhAgach sollugiRadhu". 

same thing is said by KrshNa while pleading with arjuna to 
fight "nimitta mAtram bhava savyasAchin!"

rAmA had done this act. sri thiru-mangai-mannan also has this 
opinion.
