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

187. vasiShtamuKhyaIrvihithABhiShEkAm
rAjyAsanE rAmanivEshayOgyE
thuShtAva rangEshvarapAdharakshE!
prAchethasasthvAm praThama: kavInAm

Oh Paaduka! As You were installed on the throne fit for 
Sri Rama by Vasishta and the like, in due ritual form, 
You were praised formally, by Valmiki, the first 
among poets.

Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE !
after the performance of the ceremonial abolutions 
by important personages such as Sage VasishtA ,
latter admired You as the appropriate One to sit on
the throne intended for Sri Raama. Sage Valmiki 
praised Your many auspicious attributes in his
RaamAyaNam. Swami Desikan suggests that VasishtA's
performance of the ritual bath had to be matched 
by some one of his stature , when it came to 
the praising the qualities of Sri Raama PaadhukAs.
Indeed , there was no one superior to sage Valmiki
( PrachEthas) in devotion to RaamA and hence 
he (Vaalmiki) had the privelege of singing 
the praise of the annointed PadhukAs.

(2) The RaajyAsanam ( BhadrAsanam ) was fit 
for seating Sri RaamA ( Raama nivEsa yOgyam). 
Sage Vasishta was the most qualified one among 
sages to annoint RaamA on that BhadrAsanam.
Adhi Kavi, the foremost among poets (KavinAm
prathama:) eulogised your auspicous qualities 
and he was the most qualified among poets to
perform this kaimkaryam ...V.S
