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

207. dhiviShadhanuviDhEyam dhevi! rAjyABhiShEkam
Bharatha iva yadhi thvam pAdhukE! nAnvamamsThA:
kaThamiva raGhuvIra: kalpayEdhalpayathna:
thrichathurasharapAthaIsthAdhrusham dhEvakAryam

Oh Paaduka Devi! Bharata caused the coronation to be conducted as a 
model for even devas to follow. Had You only not agreed to have it-as 
Bharata did-how could Sri Rama achieve the effortlessly-achieved goal 
of the devas (that is Ravana's killing), He having felled the enemy 
with just three or four arrows?

Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Devi PaadhukE!
If You had refused to accept Your coronation like
BharathA , How then could RaamA have destroyed 
the three sets of RaakshasAs ( Kara-DhUshaNA , 
KumbhakarNA and RaavaNA ) with just three or four
sets of arrows and thereby fulfilled His pledge 
to the DevAs that he would rescue them from 
the terrors caused by those Raakshasaas ?

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE!
Had You not agreed to accept the PattAbhishEkam
enjoyed by the DevAs , how could RaamA have 
fulfilled His avathAra kaaryam intended to put an
end to the sufferings of the DevAs at RaavaNA's
hands? The inner meaning is that a SadAchAryan
removes all the dhOshams of a Jeevan and then PerumAL
invites the Jeevan to His side. If the SadAchAryan
had not removed the dhOshams and prepared the Jeevans,
PerumAl could not grant Moksham for those Jeevans.

(3) Here Swamy Desikan stresses the key role 
played by the Paadhukais through the acceptance of 
the coronation unlike BharathA , who refused 
the throne and pattAbhishEkam . Had PaadhukA
rejected the pattAbhishEkam like BharathA, 
then Raghuveeran's avathAra kaaryam would
have been impacted. Since Paadhukais accepted
the proposed pattAbhishEkam , VeerarAghavan 
could go ahead and destroy almost effortlessly 
RaavaNA and his entourage with just three or 
four arrows (alpa yathnasman , Raghuveera: 
thrichathura sara paathai: dEva kaaryam 
kalpayEth )...V.S
