Srimathe RaamAnujAya nama:

142. mOchitha sthira charAn ayathnatha:
KosalAn Janapadhaan upAsmahE 
yEshu kaaschana vathsarAn
Dhaivatham dhanuja Vairi PaadhukhA 

Translation by U.Ve. V.N.VedAntha Desikan Swamy
*************************************************

We meditate on the Kosala country -wherein all beings ,
animals and plants , all were able to secure salvation , 
with no efforts whatsoever-by reason of the reign of 
PaadhukA there for some years.

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan 
*****************************

(1)Sri UthtamUr Swamy's anubhavam
************************************

Let us meditate upon Kosala dEsA , where the Lord's
PaadhukAs ruled for a few years and attained the status
of the Lord Himself. There, the grace of the PaadhukAs 
made it possible for all the animate and inanimate beings 
to attain Moksham even without them seeking it.

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam
********************************

The inneer meaning here is that even fools 
attain sathgathi through the AchAryA's
pefromance of SaraNAgathi for them. 
This slokam is perhaps an explanation by 
Swami Desikan to KuratthAzhwAn's question 
addressed to PerumAL ; AzhwAn asked how
the Lord in His RaamAvathAram enabled /blessed 
even inanimate objects like the blades of grass 
to attain auspicious worlds without the benfit of
karma -Bhakthi-Prapatthi Yogams . 

Swami Desikan describes the deed of 
Paadhukais as " ayathnatha: Mochitha sthira 
charAn " .The celebrated effortless deed was 
that of freeing both sentients and
insentients from samsAric bonds without 
these entities undertaking the strenous 
efforts associated with the prescribed routes 
for such a blessing . Swami Desikan explains 
as to how this miracle happened. During the most 
difficult time at ChithrakUtam , RaamachandrA asked 
His Paadhukai to rule the kingdom in His place
during His exile in the forest .The Paadhukai
was reluctant to accede to the request because of
the concern that it has to come down in rank
and power after the limited time of rulership.
The Paadhukais put a condition for acceptance 
(viz)., it asked for the full power of its Lord
during its rulership. RaamachandrA agreed to this
request and as a result , the Paadhukai gave sathgathi
to all insentients like itself .
