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

210. aBhiShEchayathu sa rAma:
padhEna vA sprushathu pAdhukE! BhavathIm
avishEShithamahimA thvam
kva vA vishESha: kshamAsamEthAnAm 

Oh Paaduka! Let Rama either crown You on the throne or simply set His 
feet on You; it makes no difference to Your unique greatness. Indeed 
for one who possesses Kshama(=forbearance; earth); what difference 
does it make if one is elevated or suppressed.

Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's annubhavam: In the next 
Paddhathi , the Paadhukais are going to join RaamA's
holy feet. Hence , Swamy Desikan sets the stage for
that reunion in this verse and states that the greatness 
of the Paadhukais will be unaffected , whether they 
adorned the Lord's feet or not. Swamy Desikan says:
" Oh PaadhukE ! Whether You are the ruler of AyOdhyA in 
RaamA's name or whether You adorn His feet , Your auspicious 
qualities are not affected either way . For those who have 
connection to KshamA , there is no difference whether they are up 
(on the throne) or down under RaamA's feet." The word KshamA
has two meanings (viz)., Earth and patience. Since PadhukA
travels on Earth , it has KshamA sambhandham or contact 
with Earth. Even when it is not used by the Lord in His
travels , the PaadhukAs do not lose their KshamA 
sambhandham , since its patience is a well known
attribute. Hence, Swamy Desikan makes clever use of 
the word "KshamA " here to salute the auspicious
qualities of the PaadhukAs.

(2)Srimath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE ! What does it 
matter if RaamA is separated fom you or steps 
on You for His travels? There is no dimunition of Your
glories either way . For those filled with KshamA guNam ,
either praise or dhUshaNam does not affect them .

(3) Swamy Desikan makes a fitting conclusion to
this very special Paddhathi dealing with the most
auspicious coronation of the Paadhukais (PattAbhshEkam)
done with unique Atharva Veda manthrams by Sage VasishTA .
He says that the Paadhukais have undiminished glory
in both the states of union with the Lord's feet or
otherwise( Sa Raama: bhavathIm abhishEchayathu vaa 
padhEna sprusathu vaa , thvam avisEshatha mahimA--).
Swamy Desikan concludes with the most insightful 
statement that for those filled with pateince
and forbearance , there is no difference in their
anugraha bhAvam indepentent of their status 
( KashamA samEthAnAm kkva vaa visEsha: asthi?).
Swamy states that there is no differences
( thAratamyams) for such mahAns in altered
states of kaimkaryam to BhagavAn..V.S
