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

Oh PaadhukA ! You were given to BharatA by 
the truth-abiding RaamA , as a great wealth
of a broad-country kingdom , gifted as it were ,
to a servant. But then BharatA placed You on 
the ornamental throne and respectfully protected 
You and the nation . He enjoyed the bliss of fame
as a consequence (had BharatA sat on the throne 
himself , he would have incurred a bad name).

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)
***********************************

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam:
************************************

Oh PaadhukA ! RaamA , the abode of truthfulness gave You 
to BharathA as the ennobling wealth. BharathA seated You 
on the Kosalaa throne and ruled the earth in Your name.
He attained great fame and glory as a result of that 
action . By giving You to BharathA ,RaamA gave him
the kingdom and fulfilled the pledge that was given
by DasarathA to his consort , KaikEyi.

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

BharathA's attaining immense glory through
the worship of PaadhukAs is compared here to
the worship of a sadhsishyan of a SadAchAryan.
A sishyan blessed to realize such a sadAchAryan
will receive all auspiciousness and glory
through such worship .

(3) The invaluable present given by RaamA
to BharathA as the emperorship presented to
a deserving servant ( Daasa jana Uchitha
SaamrAjya sampadhi). BharathA placed that
sampath on the throne of Kosala dEsam 
and ruled the world as a represetatve of
the Raama Paadhukais and attained illustrious
glories . The blessings attained by BharathA 
are described by Swami Desikan this way:
" Bharatha: pruthvIm bhuBhOja; YasOvibhUthim
cha BhubhujE " (i-e)., BharathA protected the universe
and at the same time enjoyed immeasurable fame.
That is the power of the Paadhukai...V.S
