Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 237. nisthIrNadhuKhajalaDhEranaGhasya dhEvi! thvathsamprayuktharaGhnAThapadhAnvayEna sadhya: sanandanamuKhaIrapi dhurnirIkshA sAmrAjyasampadh aparA Bharathasya jagnyE Oh Goddess Paaduka! The sinless Bharata crossed the ocean of grief on joining You with Rama's Feet. (He who was, till then, a servant of Paaduka, now became the servant of the Lord's feet as well as the Paaduka). He has now reached the status of another kind of great ruler-that is not possible even for great Yogis like Sanandana. (He has now attained the kingdom of Kaimkarya which is equivalent to Moksha. It is just like the bonded souls crossing the samsara-ocean and reaching the Bhagavat-pada-seva in Paramapada, which is the supreme kingdom). Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(V.S): *********************************** 1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Here Swamy Desikan describes the elevation of BharathA as heir-apparent (Yuva RaajA ) to RaamA. He says: " Oh PaadhukE! BharathA was immersed in the ocean of sorrow during the fourteen years of seperation from RaamA . He served You , when You ruled the kingdom as his brother's representative. Earlier, he had refused the kingdom offered by his parents and was thus totally guiltless. BharathA gianed his own kingdom by serving You dutifully. That kingdom was known as " PaadhukA- SaamrAjyam ". After RaamA was reunited with You by BharathA at the end of the fourteen years, his sorrows were over and he gained an illustrious lustre that is not within the reach of even Yogis like SanakA and others. 2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! When BharathA reunited You with his brother's thiruvadi ,he jumped over the great ocean of sorrow ( the sorrow of seperation from his brother for fourteen long years).An incomparable radiance --not possessed even by the likes of Sages Sanakar , Sananthanar, SanathkumArar and SanathsujAthar-- was gined by Bharathan . The inner meaning is that there is no one among the BhakthAs of PerumAL , who match the vaibhavam of Bharathan. 3) Bharathan attained the status of "Bhaktha chakravarthi" as a result of uniting the Paadhukais with the sacred feet of his brother after fourteen years of seperation. That was a different kind of wealth/isvaryam ( aparA saamrAjya sampath). That sampath attained by the blemishles BharathA was beyond the reach of even great BhakthAs of the Lord such as SanakA et al ( anagasya Bharathasya Sanandhamukhairapi durnirIkshaa aparA saamrAjya sampath sadhya: jagnE)...V.S
