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

172. anicChatha: pANdaramAthapathram 
pithrA vithIrNam maNipAdharakshE!
AsIth thvadharTham viGruthEna thEna
ChAyA samagrA Bharatasya moULoU

Oh Paaduka! Bharata thwarted the white umbrella 
(the Royal insignia),that was secured for him 
by Dasharatha. But now, when that umbrella stands 
at Your command, its lustre and shade are 
bestowed on Bharata himself!

Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : In the previous verse ,
Swami Desikan referred to those , who asked for blessings 
and received them from the PaadhukAs . Here , Swamy focuses 
on those , who get the blessings even without asking for them 
and illustrates this situation happening in the case of 
BharathA . Swamy Says in this context : " Oh Gem-bedecked 
PaadhukE ! BharathA refused the white umbrella that 
symbolized the Emperorship. He did not want the empire 
that really belonged to RaamA. Even if he rejected the white 
umbrella and the kingdom, the full shade of that royal 
insignia fell on BharathA , when he held that umbrella 
over the Paadhukai resting on the throne. When he protected 
You from the Sun , Your protection extended its reach 
over Your servant , BharathA ". 

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that 
when a sishyan is utterly detatched from the various desires ,
then the AchAryAs and PerumAl shower that sishyan with
all types of wealth even if he did not ask for them .

(3) When BharathA placed the Paadhukais on the back of 
the royal elephant for its journey to the capital 
and held the royal , white umbrella (paaNDram aathapathram ) 
over them for protection against the Sun , the blessings 
of that umbrella provided total shade to Bharathan
as well (samagrA chAyA aaseeth ).Bharathan did not 
seek the power of that umbrella for himself and yet
the blessings of Paadhukai extended that protection 
from the umbrella for him ..V.S
