Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 229. prathyAgathasya BhavathIm avalOkya Bharthu: pAdhAravindasaviDhE BharathOpanIthAm pUrvABhiShekaviBhavABhyuchithAm saparyAm maDhyE sathAm akrutha maIthilarAjakanyA Oh Paaduka! Sita was observing You being brought by Bharata near the lotus feet of Rama. She felt that she should pay homage to You for being the first to receive the coronation. She accordingly paid her respects to You in the presence of the elders. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(V.S): *********************************** 1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Here Swamy Desikan refers to SitA Devi's salutations to Her husband's Paadhukais that had ruled AyOdhyA for fourteen years. She was travelling at the time towards AyOdhyA in the Pushpaka VimAnam and saw the procession of the Paadhukais towards AyOdhyA on the royal elephant's back. She offered Her worship , since the PaadhukAs had been consecrated by Sage VasishtA and others through the coronation bath and subsequent ceremonies for becoming the ruler of the KosalA nation. She offered Her worship to the present ruler. 2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! BharathAzhwAn presented the Paadhukais to Your Lord on His victorious trip to LankA. SitA PirAtti offered Her salutations to You in the middle of the Raaja Sabhai , since You have already been coronated by Sage VasishtA as the reprensative of RaamA to rule the kingdom. 3) Mythila Raaja KanyA (SitA PirAtti) glanced at Her Lord's Paadhukais , which were placed by BharathAzhwAn with reverence near the lotus feet of Her Lord , who had returned to AyOdhyA as a victor ( PrathyAgathasya Bharthu: Paadaaravindha savidhE , Bharatha upaneetham BhavathIm avalOkya).She immediately recognized the Vaibhavam of the Paadhukais as those , which have already been consecrated with PattAbhishEkam by the Kula Guru, VasishtA and hence performed Her PoojA to them in an appropriate manner in front of all the great ones assembled in the court hall ( PoorvAbhishEkaka Vibhava abhyuchitham saparyAm sathAm madhyE akrutha)...V.S
