Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Please find some notes from the vyAkhyAnams of 
Periyavacchan Pillai and Nampillai on the
positions of Lakshmana & Bharatha.


>From Swami Periyavacchan Pillai's vyAkhyAnam for 
Thiruppallandu:

"rAmakrushNAdhirUpENa vandhavathariththu 'pitur
vacana nirdEshAt bharadvAjasya shAsanAt' enRu,
pithruvachana paripAlanAthigaLai AsariththaruLiyum,
iLaiya perumALai iduviththu 'vaguththa 
vishayaththil sEshavruththiyE ivvAthmAvukku 
svarUpam' ennum idaththai prakAsippiththaruLiyum, 
'rAjyancAhanca rAmasya' enRu koNdu indha 
vruththikkadiyAna pArathanthryaththai sri 
bharathAzhvAnaiyittu prakAsippiththaruLiyum, 
ippArathanthrya kAshtaiyai 'gacchatA mAtulakulam
bharatEna -- nIta:' enRu koNdu sri 
shathrugnAzhvAnaiyittu prakAsippiththaruLiyum ..."


That is, Sri Rama showed the common path of
dharma which was obeying another person's word,
such as those of his father, Bharadwaja, Sugreeva
and others.

Lakshmana exemplified the concept that growth in
service to the Lord is the true nature of the soul.

Sri Bharata exemplified the pAratantrya which is 
the base for this growth. The arumpadhavurai for 
the vyAkhyAnam states that the 'indha vruththi' 
means being like an acit object.

Sri Shatrugna showed the height of this pAratantrya.



>From Nampillai's vyAkhyAnam for Kanninun 
Siruththambu:

"'oruvan solliRRu oruvan seyyak kadavan' engiRa
dharmam nErAga azhindhu kidakkaiyAlE pithruvachana

In explaining what Sri Bharathazhvan showed, the 
following details are given:

'raraksha dharmEna balEna' - Instead of only 
protecting (serving) You (like Sri Lakshmana -
adiyEn's comment), I will protect (serve) Your 
kingdom as well.

'aham vElEva sAgaram' - The beach is present to
serve the ocean; nevertheless the ocean cannot
overcome the beach. Similarly, You are greater
than me, but you cannot go beyond me.


The arumpadhavurai states that the 'than sellAmai'
is 'inbility to tolerate separation from Rama'.


Notice the use of 'nirbanthiththu adimai' by both
Nampillai and Periyavacchan Pillai for Lakshamana
and the comparison that Bharata did not do that
- instead accepting whatever the Lord wished.
Periyavacchan Pillai adds that Bharata actually
came back happy (prIthiyOdE) that he was doing 
what Rama wanted, even though it meant separation
from the Lord.
