SrimathE RaamAnujAya Nama:

(149)maanyE RaghUdhvaha padhE MaNipAdhukE thvAm
vinyasya vigrahavathIm iva rAjyalakshmIm I
aalOlam akshavalayee BharathO jaDAvAn
aalamBhya chAmaram ananyamanA: sishivE II

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

Oh PaadhukA ! After placing on the respectable 
throne of RaamA , You , a virtual incarnation 
of Raajya LakshmI , BharathA performed fan service 
at Your presence; he had a rosary of beads, his 
head had matted hair; he wandered hither and 
thither and wafted the chaamarams in Your favor,
doing all in a single-minded , concentrated 
devotion .

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(V.S)
**********************************
(1)Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam:
**********************************
Oh PaadhukA ! BharathA with his matted hair 
and with a japa-maalA on his neck was Your 
principal servant in Your fan service. 
He placed You on the throne, where You glowed
like Raajya LakshmI . He offered his fan service 
then with an uninterrupted mind. He did PaadhukA 
japam while meditaing on Your glory during 
such occasions.

(2)Srimath Andavan's anubhavam:
*******************************
Oh PaadhukE ! You looked like the embodiment
of Raajya Lakshmi , when BharathA placed You 
on the throne intended for RaamA and offered
fan service for you with great reverence.

(3) Elsewhere Swamy Desikan has saluted RaamA as
"RaamO VigrahavAn dharma:" ( RaamA as the embodiment
of Dharmam ); here he salutes the PaadhukA as
"VigrahavathIm iva Raajya LakshmIm " ( PaadhukA,
which was like the embodiment of Raajya LakshmI).
Sri RaamA was reputed for HIs expertise 
in Raaja Dharmam. PaadhukA was the Raaja dharma
LakshmI. Where does the PaadhukA sit ? It has been
placed with reverence by Bharathan on the 
most worshipful throne of Raghu Kulam that
was about to be occupied by Sri RaamachandrA 
(MaanyE RaghUdhvaha padahm ). The fan (chAmaram )
is moving (aalOlam ); BharathA's mind however
is steady ( ananya mana:) with dhyAnam on 
the glories of the PaadhukA ... V.S
