Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:
824. anyEShu sathsvapi narEndhrasuthEShu dhaIvAdh
BraShta: padhAdhaDhikarOthi padham padhArha:
prAyO nidharshayathi thath praThamO raGhUNAm

There is a golden rule illustrated in the lives of Rama and Rama-
Paaduka; When one merits as his due post may miss him first but it
will sirely reach him ultimately. Rama lost the crown by divine
order, perhaps, but then none of his brothers could acquire it. He
got it finally, as it was his dure, he being the eldest. So also the
Paaduka missed the padam (Rama's foot) but it got the padam, namely,
the office of the ruler of the kingdom.
Namo Narayana,

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
SlOkam 824
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Swamy Desikan states here that one
lOka neethi was established from the concepts of PaadhukA rAjyam and
Raama Raajyam. He says: " Although there were other sons of DasaraTa,
the blemishless Raama for no fault of His, lost the rights to the
throne of Raghus. The PaadhukAs of RaamA, which are equal in merit to
Him also underwent the same experience, when they were sepearated
from Him for fourteen years. " RaamA for no fault of His, lost the
chance to ascend the throne of Raghus due to the boons of KaikEyi.
Similarly, the PaadhukAs eligible to be worthy of RaamA got seperated
from their Lord for no fault of their own. Ultimately, RaamA ascended
the throne and the PaadhukAs got united with RaamA's feet.
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Lord Raamachandra"s coronation at
AyOdhya was stopped after it was well planned. Even if it was halted
at that time, that crowning uthsavam for Him took place few years
later. Even during the time of interruption, when His brothers were
still eligible for ascending the throne, the Paadhukais became
fit to occupy the throne of Raghu vamsam.
3) Even if there were other sons (of King DasaraTa ) there (anyEshu
narEndhra suthEshu sathsvapi ), the fittest one, who lost the
opportunity to sit on the throne of His father due to dhaiva
sankalpam ultimately ascended the throne ( dhaivAth padhAth
brashta: , padhArha: padham adhikarOthi). This was demonstrated in
the case of the greatest one of Raghu Vamsam (RaghUNAm PraTama:),
Raamachandran . He could not ascend the throne due to dhaiva
sankalpam. His brothers were there at that time , when He had to give
up His throne and yet the throne went to His Paadhukais instead
(Tath RaghUNAm PraTama: tath PaadhayO: prathinidhi PaadhukE vaa
nidarsayathi prAya:) ....(V.S).
