SrimathE RaamAnujAya nama:

(153) varshANi thAni vrushaLO na tapAmsi thEpe
na kascchidhapi mruthyuvasam jagAma 
raajyE thavAmbha ! raghupungava PaadharakshE !
naivAparam prathividhEyam abhUth prasaktham 

Translation by U.Ve Sri VedAntha Desikan Swamy
***********************************************

Oh Mother PaadhukA ! That Your reign was superior
even to RaamA's reign follows from the facts that
during all those years of Your reign , no member of 
the fourth varNA even performed penance; no young boy 
died prematurely; no untoward incident ever occured
warranting a ritual atonement .

Special Notes By V.Sadagopan (V.S):
************************************ 

(1)Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Here Swamy Desikan 
points out to the special glory of the fourteen year long
rule of Kosala dEsam by the Lord's Paadhukais. He says: 
" When You ruled , there were no inauspicious events 
such as the penance undertaken by unauthorized persons,
untimely death of children , invasion by foes et al .
There were no ills to react against and correct .Unique 
indeed is Your glorious reign !".

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that 
there may be some inauspiciousness(Sodhanais) for those 
who seek out the Lord. There will however be none for 
those , who seek refuge at the feet of a SadAchAryan .

(3)Swamy Desikan says: " Raghu Pungava PaadharakshE !
tava rAjyE --aparam prathividhEyam prasaktham naivAbhUth ".
Here Swamy addresses the PaadhukA as those of Raghupungavan.
The naamam Raghupungavan is synonomus with RaNa Pungavan 
created by Swamy Desikan in his ParamArtha Sthuthi 
to salute the Vijaya Raaghavan of Thirupputtkkuzhi dhivya desam.
RaNa Pungavan means one with superior valour in the battles . 
The valour of the Paadhuka is even more notworthy 
in that it nips off in the bud potential troubles . 
Therefore , there is no need for it to take
countermeasures ( prathividhEyam ). There is not even 
a " prasaktham " (connection ) to such countermeasures .
Such is the glory of the PaadhukA Raajyam , which 
went beyond the glories of the Raama Raajyam !..V.S
