Sri:
SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,
Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:

167. araNyayOgyam padhamasprushanthI
rAmasya rAjArhapadhE niviShtA
AsThAnanithyAsikayA nirAsTha:
svargaIkasAm svaIraghathErviGhAtham

(Oh Paaduka!) You had left the Feet of Rama that were 
unsuitable to walk on the forest,but got stationed on 
a throne in the royal court. Nevertheless You
removed the obstacles that beset the free movements of 
the Devas.

Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Oh Raama PaadhukE!
You could not accompany Your Lord in the forest , since You
had to return to AyOdhyA to sit on the throne of the kings
of Kosala dEsam . While You were thus seated on the throne ,
You conferred auspiciousness to the citizens of the earth
and the denizens of the heaven (dEvAs);latter were rid of 
their fears from asurAs , moved about freely and offered 
their salutations to You in a spirit of gratefulness. 

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam : The inner meaning is that 
NammAzhwAr alone stayed at one place (under the tamarind tree
at ThirukkuruhUr ) , while other AzhwArs went around visiting 
many dhivya dEsams .Although NammAzhwAr was immobile , He was
able to banish EVERYWHERE all inauspiciousness like Kaamam , 
KrOdham et al and rang in auspiciousness like Bhagavath Jn~Anam , 
sadAchAram , ruchi for Bhagavath anubhavam and desire for mOksham .
These mangalams spread throughout heaven and earth without let .

(3) Swamy Desikan compares the lot of Raama Padhams and
Raama PadhAvani/Paadhukai here . RaamA's paadhams were 
"araNya yOgyam " ( fitness to travel on the rough paths of
the forest ) as a result of the promise made to 
His father . Raama PaadhukAi attained the yOgyam of 
"RaajArha padhE nivishta yOgyam " ( honor of being 
seated on the throne of the kings of Raghu Vamsam ).
RaamA's feet were mobile , where as the PadhukAs sat 
without movement on the throne protecting the kingdom .
While RaamA was moving towards LankA to fulfil His
avathAra kAraNam , Raama PadhukAs stayed stationary 
and gave protection to the dEvAs so that they can move 
around safely .All of this was accomplished without 
the Paadhukai ever leaving its place on the throne ...V.S
