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

182. rAghavasya charaNoU padhAvani!
prEkshithum thvadhaBhiShEkamIShathu:
ABhiShEchanikaBhANdasanniDhoU
yath pradakshiNagathi: shanaIryayoU

Oh Paaduka! when Rama did that ceremonial circumabulation, His steps
were rather slow; perhaps His feet did not move fast because he wished
to see Your coronation.

Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's annubhavam : Yor Lord went
very slowly around the materials assembled for His 
AbhishEkam .It appeared as though He was lingering
as He made that pradhakshiNam. That gesture appeared to
suggest that He was longing to witness Your PattAbhishEkam
in person .

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that
PerumAL is very pleased with the bhakthAs , who worship 
AchAryAs and celebrate them .The more the sishyALs 
celebrate their SadAchAryAs , PerumAl is more pleased .
There is no limit to His pleasure in this matter.Such
is His reverence for His AchAryAls , who perform 
the duties that He has commissioned them to do.

(3) Swamy Desikan points out that the sacred feet 
of the Lord wanted to witness directly the AbhishEkam
of the Paadhukais that serve them and that is why they 
moved slowly around the materials assembled for 
PerumAL's abhishEkam . The slow movement (pradhakshiNam)
around the saamagriyai is described by our AchAryan
as " BhaaNDa sannidhou sanai: PradakshiNa-gathi: ".
Why ? " Raaghavasya CharaNou thvath abhishEkam prEkshithum
Ishathu:" .The sacred feet of the Lord wanted to see
the abhishEkam for its companion , the Paadhkais and
hence lingered during the pradakshiNam ...V.S
