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
