dear shri vasudevan,

Kousalya's counting the age from Sri Rama's upanayanam is not plausible, for a 
woman in great distress would definitely not go into the nuances of dharma 
shastras and consider her son to have been born only at the time of upanayanam. 
 on this point, Sri Periavaacchaan Pillai is quite categorical. i quote below 
the Acharya's lines (available not in the Bhaarataadi Tanislokam book, but in 
the Ramayana Tanisloki)

"idu putra pravaasa janita du:khatthaale nirvinnai aana stree vaartthai 
aagayaale, padu paadaaga piranda andru thudangi endru prathama janmame aam 
itthanai pokki, shoka dasayile oru pendaatti avahitaiyaai, dharma shaastram 
anusandittu, patthu kazhitthu dviteeya janmatthai vivakshikkkai anuchitam 
aagaiyaalum, idu oru aarum pannirandum padinettaai, padinezhukku vinji 
irukkaiyaalum seraadu"

dasan, sadagopan
