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

Oh PaadhukA! King DasarathA had expired. BharathA
was disinclined to accept the rulership.;the people of 
Utthara Kosalam were much disturbed ; in that situation ,
if You too had refused , who could have come to rule 
and rescue the royal position and possessions ?

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
***********************************
(1)Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam:
**********************************

When BharathA was engaged in offering the fan
service , the citizens of AyOdhyA sang the praise
of the Raama PaadukAs. The citizens sang: " Mighty
indeed is Your glory ! When DasarathA ascended to 
heaven ,BharathA was ashamed to ascend the throne 
and Raama refused to return to AyOdhyA as per
the request of BharathA . What would have happened 
if You had insisted on staying with RaamA , 
the friend of GuhA , the hunter king , to protect
Your Lord's feet during His wanderings in the forest?
Who would have come forward to offer protection
for us, who were orphaned ?

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

At the time of King DasarathA's death ,
there was a vacuum in the kingdom due
to RaamA's absence and the rejection of 
that kingdom by BharathA . The citizens 
suffered immensely from that situation.
At that time, Oh PaadhukA , If You had not 
accepted the rulership as a representative of
RaamA , what would have been our fate? 
The inner meaning is that the Lokam will
not be at peace , when there are no SadAchAryAs .

(3) The mental state of BharathA at the time
of his Father's passing away as a result of
the exile of RaamA in the forest is described 
by Swami Desikan as "vilakshE " or a state of
shame over what had happened as a result of his 
mother's cruelty. The collective state of mind of 
the citizens of Utthara KOsalam is described by 
SWamy Desikan as " bhrusam ParyAkulam " or extremely 
agitated state and confusion born out of fear 
about the future . PaadhukA stepped in at this time 
and saved the day by accepting rulership as 
a representative of RaamA..V.S
