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
