May Thou rest on my head for a long time ! May Thou remove all the blemishes , the sins of mine and confer the same blessings that BharathA received. By wearing You as his crown , BharathA's lack of desire in ruling AyOdhyA for its own sake was proven. His character and intent were no longer questioned. He was recognized as a great soul and devout devotee of Sri Rama , his brother. May my connection with You remove all the ills that come my way during my stay on this earth . May all my misfortunes associated with the ills of samsara be dispelled by Your mighty power ! May Thou shine on my head always ! (2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh Raghuveera PaadhukhE ! Since BharathA went through a lot of troubles to receive You on his head , he was spared from all types of calumny. Similarly , You should stay on my head as a parivattam and remove all apavAdhams . RaamA gave the magnificient gift of His PaadhukhAs to protect his brother BharathA from lOkApavAdhams . The inner meaning is that those , who approach a sadAchAryan will be freed from all types of inauspiciousness and apavAdhams . (3) Swamy Desikan beseeches the Paadhukhais of Lord RanganAthA to stay and play on his head always to remove all "visva- apavAdha dhurjAthA " or the infamous worldly gossips and calumny . Such power to banish all of the painful calumny can only come from a Veeran or a mighty hero of unparalled valour.Such is the undisputed valor of the Raghuveera Paadhukhais .Hence ,Swamy Desikan addresses the venerable Paadhukhais as "Raghuveera PaadhukhE " here ....V.S
